TWO MONTHS OF
FUR BUSINESS
BRINGS $4,000
Aledo Dealer Reports Wonderful
Season; Skunks Lead Hides,
Harry Dagon Finds.

Fur business in Mercer county
has experienced wonderful boom.
according to Harry Dagon. local
fur dealer. Mr.. Dagon estimates
the total value 6f fur handled by
him during the month of Novem-
Der and December totals over $751;
600. OF these the skunks lead the
list with nearly half OF the total.
Many trappers throughout the
county have profted By the pre-
vailing high prices of furs and the
plentiful supply. As many as $4,000
worth Of furs have been bought by,
Mr.. Dagon in a single day.
Due to the late demand for skunk
hides to be made into furs, trappers
of this community have made an
unusual effort to get the little AMI
NAL and have met with wonderful
success.
Muskrats probably have second
in the number of hides handled In
this city. Many other kinds OF AMI
mails have contributed to this COL
lection and helped to bring to Mr..
Dagon the best year for fur trade
he has ever experienced.
