7mbzems In Fur Farmin
Informative Address at Fox Club by Mr. W. Chester S. Mc- Lure. '
MI. W. GEES!!! S. McLUB.B
Mr. W. Chester 5. McLure ad- dressed the Fox Club meeting on Thuraday evening dealing general- ly with the fur trade and fur farm- ing in Prince Edward Island. He spoke as follows:
“Mr. Chairman nnd Gentlemen:
"When your Mr. smith and Mr. Cofnn called on me a. few days ago and asked me to give a. talk to your club it was impossible to de- cline the smooth polished invita- tion of these two gentlemen.
"I come tonight fully aware that
this club has among its members some of the leading fur farmers to be found anywhere. I wish to congratulate you on the Club's activities because you are getting together on problems ooncerning the great industry—conservation fur farming. “The difficulty of my task is to bring some information that might be of interest and profit to the club members.
"Your lectures have dealt with the active problems relezqant to the industry. so I will endeavor to follow the same course and express similar thoughts clothed in differ- ent words.
"It is dlmculi: to think of any- thing more interesting. more roman- tic. than the history of the Fur Trade. As we read down through our Canadian history—yes, the his- tory of Canada has been profoundly influenced by the fur trade and in the early years by the habits of one animal, the beaver, which very flttingly occupies a prominent place on Canada's coat of arms. "Coming rapidly from the days‘ of thc beaver, the Canadian emblem, I am inclined to believe that when -the history of Prince Edward Island Ls again written no doubt the silver fox very fitilnzly also will occupy a prominent place in our Island coat of arms.
"I mentioned a moment ago the romance of the fur trade, this was especially true regarding the black fox—but romance has given place ‘to conservation fur farming.
The Realistic Side
"In searching for some data for this address I read an advertise- ment in the New York Times dated 1917. one of the leading fur merchants in a. display ad. of wild silver fox furs pictured the heroic and romantic adventures of trap- pers in pursuit of this fur de luxe for the lady of fashion.
“Now the glamor of this romance
has gone and the realistic side of business life is presented in fur farming for production profits. “The past season has seen more enthusiasm in fox farming than for some years. for instance the or- ganization of your ciub—bigger and better live fox shows—greater inter- est lh marketing—-and the individ- ual striving to breed. raise and sup- ply the fur trade with better furs. Succesful fox farming warrants this enthusiasm when it is based on the foundation of producing high grade fine silvers. “When we talk of production. we sometimes pause and reflect. what is the production of silver fox furs in the world trade? The only avail- able figuresnow tabulated for 1935 are recorded in the Fur Dizest which states as follows: Canada's production 200.000 skins; Scandina- vian production 160.000 skins; Unit- ed States production 180,000 skins: all other countries 60,000 skins, making a total production of 600,000 skins. I cannot say that is correct, buifin checking it with the differ- ent. offerings from the sales centres of distribution I am inclined to say it is within lo per cent of being correct. Contrasting these figures wth the supply in C1hamplain's memoirs of 1616, viz: 500 black fox skins-—or even with our estimates of fifteen years ago via: 100.000 skins-—suroly fur farminghas ad- vnncod in production.
"Fine.furs, brmder markets and popularization has enabled the fur trade to absorb quite easily this

recent sales of the past four months} out of an offering of some 200,000 skins less than 20,000 skins sold for £10 ($50.00) and upwards. This brings us to the marketing prob- lcm and my time does not permit me to deal with the details of same.
U.S. Fur Market
“The United States fox farmer has a protected home market for his silvers" and at the same time he has the opportunity of an open free market in all other countries —consequehtly American prices ap- pear higher than ours for the some grade of furs.
“You are aware. gentlemen, that the United States is the only country in the world with a pro- tecting tariff on raw furs—and that on only one class, viz: silver fox. The United States with its 120.000,- 000 of people is a szrcat home mar- ket and our oiii_v hope of entering that niarkcz is with .\ll1‘I‘.‘l'l0i‘ ‘Cane skins.
An Opportunity Lost
"We as fur liil‘illeI‘S lost an op- portunity when the Canada-United states trade treaty was signed. We should have strongly represented to our federal government the im- portance of getting at least some concession by way oi‘ a reduction in the 50 per cent ad valorem duty which discriminates against our product. Our home market in Can- ada is small when compared with the United states—but notwith- standing this the United States shipped into Canada during 1931 to 1934 over $1,000,000 of silver fox skins, and I am convinced that these were the inferior grades. Gen- erally speaking with reference to the quality of their skins I would state that the United states has a good commercial akin well suited for the cloak and suit trade. but I am bound to state without prejudice we have in Prince Edward Island a much finer type when it comes to the select specimens required for the exclusive trade. I have men-, tioned this American prohibitive‘ tariff because we should urge our government to give us an even break in their market for our fine skins. “While on this American fur topic I must say that their lotting and grading of slivers on their sales impresses one as excellent. They seem to have adopted a. classifica- tion of full slivers-—threel quarters —-halves or mediums—quarters—and blocks and every one true to type. These were put up in bundles or lots of 10 to 20 skins, and if you examined one skin in the lot you could price the rest without exam- ination. '
Uniform Grading
"On the grading of skins for the market it is essential that all should be made unii'orm——for example take one classification, three quarters silvers these must show from 60 percent to 90 percent silver mark- ings for clasaiflcation—then they should be graded as selected speci- mens, Grade I. II, In and IV. If time permitted I would like to have dealt more fully with grading lotting and marketing but at some future date I hope your club will consider these problems.
IMPERIA
FAMILY. INCOME POLICY
I F AN ordinary policy for say $104,000. becomes a claim, the income from the money, -if invested safely at 31/2 to 4%, or fortunately even at 5%, would be only $350 to $50021 year. ‘ .
Under a $l0,000 Family Income Policy, however, the Imperial Life would guarantee to pay 12% of the face value of the Policy, or $1,200 a year, and this income would be paid every year until your youngest child was grown up. Then the full face‘value of the Policy,
$10,000, would be paid in cash. '.
Thinlé what a difference this extra $700 or 3800 per ii
annum—it might be for many years-—would make to your family while the children were growing up. And then—$10,000 to start them in life or to take care o£ your widow's declining years! ‘ If you survive, the licy will provide you wltli I. nql‘ welcome cash fun , or a guaranteed monthly locum for the time you will wish to retire. '
In planning an estate to protect yaurfanrily you cannot do betferfiar them, or for yourself,’ than to mvrstigate the Imperial Family Income Policy.

In conclusion gentlemen. “The early history of Canada is primarily a. history of the fur trade and the present history of Prince

indus‘ ,7. Prince Edwurd Island is the pioneer home of conservation fur farming, and with this distinc- tion we have a reputation to sue- tain and the only way to uphold that distinction is by producing I finer and better fox'fur than any other country. our furs today in the trade have the name of being the best. one large fur house in commenting on silver fox furs on the recent sales quote “Oanadian furs especially some fine collections from Prince lidwnrd Island were outstanding and above the general offering." That is what we must strive for and breed to prbducc still better skin; for the trade and
