| Prince Edward Island Fox Pelts, ca. 1916 |
| |
| As early as 1910, pelts were being sold on Prince Edward Island. The pelts were often of second quality as fox breeders sold their best foxes alive to gain a sizable profit. Prices for pelts continually varied as breeders went from buyer to buyer in search of the highest price. In November 1915, the Sales Board of the Silver Black Fox Breeders' Association, was established to abolish this practice. The Board acted as a liaison between breeders and buyers, taking the breeder's pelts and selling them at a reasonable, yet still profitable, price. | | Next>>> | | Previous<<< |
