Wlliams CEQWO TIMELY NOTES ON TOPICS CONNECTED WITH Silver Fox Farming ' The New York Auction Com- pany, largest handlers oi fur on the continent, are elzteavoring tobring the fur industry out of the dol- drums where it has been since the price ceiling was imposed a. few months ago. Women's Wear Daily, New York, August 20th. to say.. .. .."For the first time in history of the fur industry a. raw fur auction company is seekmg to spread‘ fur consciousness among women throughout the country ‘by means oi an advertising campaign in tlhe ‘public press. Next Sunday ci t o the largest newspapers '1 carry a message stressing the beauty of ranch bred mink and silver fox. The point will be cm- phasizcd that the fur ranchers‘ years of striving to make even greater the beauty of tlheie furs have culminated this season some 0f the most exquisite pelts we have ever seen." Here is the ad.. .. .. “A Mess. age We Should Like To Convey To Millions Women .. .. .. We are one of the worlds largest sources of raw furs, as we are a marketing organizatzon for thou- sands of mink and silver fox breeders in this country. Fur breeders have devoted all their skill and efforts to producing s11- ver fox and mink with the mag- nificence the brilliance, the lustre that ma these furs so beautiful and such great favorites of fashion. Their years of striving to make cvcn greater the beauty of these furs have cufminatcd in some of the most exquisite pelts we have ever seen. Prices are mcst at- 5- tralctive right now and it is our opinion that this is the most op- portune time for women to own a garment oi mink or silver fox. New York Auction Company, Inc. New York." Advertising such as the above if it could be carried on a. larger scale throughout Canada and the United States, would mean a quick reversal in the present a/pattletic trend of the fur markets, at least for silver fox and mink, The fact seems to be the fur merchants, are given to over optimistic or over depressive sentiments, and have allowed the latter trend too much leeway. ‘Ibis is no reflection on. them The writer- realizes the great contribution they have made towards the development of the fur industry. Take them away from it and the business would collapse. They are naturally men who take a chance and sometmes they will take very long chance; in order to achieve what looks to be a profit. In the present case, however, the long drawn out negotiations over the price ceiling and the many re. stric ions that have gone wit-h it; have discouraged them and no dotlbt Morris cantons advertising campaign is planned with the idea of inspiring new enthusiasm. What can we each one of us do to improve the status of our in- dustry? Each and everyone of us can plzlv a part if it is only the stimulation of sales in our own communities. We must not be dis- couraged because scme people are going out or have gore out 0f the industry and have started to krlcck it. That puts us in mind of the 01d fnizfe written by Aesop or more centuries ago. the fox who lost his tail and then went around among his f=ilotvs ad- vising them to cut off their tails because he was so much more com. fcrtnble without his. No friend fox rancher, let us keep our courage and though we may have to curtail our operations someuhat, let us re- lilize that we are making a. real contribution towards Canada's war effort by raising silver fox. twenty Why? Because every silver fox processed means 250/, or more of its value paid directly into the treasury of our country and a fur-, tllcr sales tax when sold at Detail. It means also that 70% or more of the money secured from its raised in Canada comes rcm countries such as Mexico, Brazil, the Argentine and other South American republics through Can. adian or United Slates sources. ‘Ihfs new money brought in from abroad gives Canada the necessary funds to import war materials for munitions manufacture All the products used in fox farming are cf Canadian origin and the money linid for them is distributed among cllr own pcople. What we want to do is to get our government. cur as- sociations, our merchants and everyone wc can, lincd up belrinda mighty effort to market tihis year's has this the depicting cl A\T'LL SHE. crop of silver fox, mink and other Canadian furs, and preserve - as even the Norwegians have done though under German domination llf - our fur lmitlsfzry. The Board. of Directors oi Edward Island Fbx Breeders’ and Exhibitors‘ Asso- ciation held a. meeting in the office of the Department of Agriculture last, Monday evening Among the decisions made was that the an- nual fox show will be held at Charlottetown on the week of the 9th to 13th of November.
