PLAN No. 411. SILVER FOX SKINS
Reading edition
When it is known that a silver fox skin is worth $2,500 in London, it will be seen that some capital is required to begin the raising of the animals.
A western man, who knew something of the business, organized a small company with which to purchase two or three female foxes and one male. The bureau of animal industry, at Washington, D. C., sent full information, free, on request, concerning this particular industry, and following the instructions received from that source the company made a remarkable success. One mother silver fox frequently rears eighteen young animals in three years, so the profit can be figured from this. Of course, the first cost was considerable, but this was amply justified by the returns.
