As we sat watching the recent provincial fox show many thoughts lpassed through our minds and one of than: was, what prices could [have been realiwed for the almost ‘.350 ioxes it one had them in 19137 A modest average or a good to); ithen would be $7,000. That would amount to and they could have been sold as easy as wink. it .103? 588m a tall statement but Canada Fox Exchange and Invest- ment Company, Ltd. sold urpwards 0i $105,000 worth of silver and cross foxes for Yewdall and Mac- Donald that season and it was ‘only a drop in the bucket compared ,with the many sales that were made. another sale the saane com- ipany made was six pairs ot Frank "Iiilipllll fox pups to E. B. Emery of iNewiport, Vermont, for $96,000 in ‘cash. The total sales of silver fox- es that year amounted to between ,$B and $10 million dollars but capi- ltalized in mmpanies they had a ‘much higher value.

The previous year. 1912. thei D8100“ Company was organized‘ and the promotors paid Charles‘ Dalton $400,000 in cash and szoowa r rin stock (or twenty pairs of Dal- ton silver black foxes, giuaranteedj ;to produce at least 50 pups, The company was capitalized i-it $626,000 0i $31,000 a. pair, and a dividend

Early in the summer a new ranch was built at Southport and in late September the parents and young foxes were moved there. The

writer and the late Stanley Wed- ‘

lock and Fenton Newsom paid a visit to the ranch in October and it was a magnificent sight to see the beau-tiiiul Dalton foxes, adults and pups running around in the pens. Without question they were superb animals. We saw a few three-quarter silvers but most of them were medium silvers or dark medium silvers. The females were usually lighter than the males but they all had good color, beautiful raven blue-black and very bright silver. They were mastenpieces on the art oi’ breeding, the product of years of trial and error by Dalton and the suiper master breeder Ro- bert Oulton. who first. thought out wire pens with a trench dug and wired so that foxes could not es- CELTIC.

There are not too many or us around now lwho were actors in the stirring days of 101a or before that date, but anyone who was and can think jbank to that particular year will tell you that sliver fox was in everyones mind. It was the big topic of conversation because most of the people either owned foxes or had shares in fox companies and those who had not were anx- ,ious to get in on the good thing.

Jim took a great interest in showing us ar-
