FOX FAHMI\<; BECOMING
A WONDERFUL INDUSTRY
A. B. Shubut, Inc., Chicago, the
largest house in the world deal
ing exclusively in American raw
furs, in a letter to the editor says
in part as follows:
"More than one thousand five
hundred silver end black foxes are
in captivity at the preseut time
throughout the United States and
Canada. Thousands of dollars are
expended ann tally in the scientific
breeding of these valuable little an
imals, and the industry so far at
least has proven a success. Few
people realize, however, that far
from being modern in its origin,
the raising of animals for their fur
is, in point of fact, centuries old.
However, the art of breeding silver
black foxes successfully is a pro
duct of the latter part of the
nineteenth century, and even today
the industry is still in the process of
perfection.
"Canada is truthfully said to
have the edge on this country when
it comes to silver black fox raising.
It was a Canadian, Charles Lalton
or Priuce Edward Island, who first
bred these almost priceless foxes,
and Canada is still far ahead of any
other country in this unique enter
prise. About twenty five years
ago, Dalton, who was a farmer, hap
pened by chance upon a litter of
black fox, and conceived the idea
that with tht> enormous price these
furs were bringing in European mar
kets, there ousht to be a fortune
in it for the one who could raise
them practically For a number of
years he conducted a black fox
ranch in secret, and the animals
were bred only for their fur, and
since the choice tine dark skins
brought anywhere from five hundre
to three thou&ard dollars apiece, he
ol lis kind published

realized considerable ou his un
dertaking^as he secured only the
finest skins bv careful feeding and
watching. A few years ago, It oc
curred to Dalton that there was
more money lu raising these animals
for sale as breeders, as others
were beginning to try their hand in
the business, and so for the last
six years he his sold nothing.. but
live black foxes.
"The top notch price now on rec
ord for a pair of pure silver black
foxes is $40,000, and since 'the
price of all other furs has Increased
many times ..heir value in the last
few years, it Is thought that in a
short time, silver black foxes will
be worth their v/eight in gold. The
little island where Dalton began hi
operations is now studded with
black fox ranches, and while the
land there is well adapted for fox
breeding, they can be raised in
other districts as well. The United
States Department of Agriculture ha
6hown that almost all the Pacific
States as well as the entire eastern
and northern part of this country
is suitable for fox farming."
