COLUMBIA. RIVER FUR COMPANY.

EUROPEAN BRANCH, 72, BOLD-STREET.

DEPOT, FORT VANCOUVER, OREGON OR COLUMBIA
RIVER, NORTH AMERICA.
rr LIE Managers of this Company beg most respectfully
1 to tender to the ?Oldie their grateful thanks for the
unqualified patronage they have received since opening
this Establishment, and, in calling attention to their
PRESENT IMMENSE STOCK OF FURS,
which comprises every variety for which this River, one
of the greatest in America, is so justly celebrated, trust
that their future exertions may meet the same liberal
reward past energies have secured.
The mere title of the " Columbia Fur Company"
carries with it no more weight than that of any other
company; but the immense resources of this gigantic
stream, the length of which is 1560 miles, connecting by
its own waters, or immediate branches, the vast districts
of Austria, Colo, Canoe Camp, the Rocky Mountains,
Flat Brow, Chippeway, Pernbunco, and the principle Fur
climates, as well as the Lakes, and the ready transit for
skins procured by the inhabitants, who, as well as the
native India tribes, principally gain their subsistence by
capturing fur-producing animals, enables this Company
to offer

FURS
AT PRICES THAT CANNOT BE EQUALLED,
(When Quality is consulted,)
BY ANY OTHER HOUSE IN THE KINGDOM.
The Oregon or Columbia River districts produces a
greater variety of Furs than any other in America. Sid-
ney Hall, Esq., when treating of zoology, in his able
introduction to Black's General Atlas, says of this dis-
trict—" Its most distinguished characteristic is the number
of its Rodentia. amounting to no less than 53 well ascer-
tained species." The skins all of which are of excellent
quality.
As this House has only been recently opened, it must
be obvious to the public that their made-up Furs are all
OF THE LATEST STYLES OF FASHION.
