SILVER BLACK FOX
GO. INCORPORATES
New Industry Organized in
Indiana With Capital
of $4,000.
Special 10 The News Times :


LAPORTE, Aug. 2S.-What is said
to be the only industry of its kind
in Indiana. and known az the Michi-
gand City Silver Black Fox company.
has been incorporated under the laws
Of the state Of Indiana with a capt.
tai stocklof $40, 900. Laporte county
and Muskegon. Mich, capitalists are
the incorporators. This company
will utilize a large track OF land in
the raising Of silver-black foxes for
pelts.
The raising of silver black foxes
is a comparatively new industry in
the United States. and the industry
has proved very successful in Michi-
gan, 60 per cent Of the silver black
foxes in the United States having
been raised in Muskegon county.
Mich, by the Royal Silver-Black
Fox company. the largest in the
United States.
The entire Enclosure Of the land
secured will be supplied with heavy
wire runways and pens. with fox
dens and breeding houses under
ground. The Michigan City company
will start business with ten pairs of
the silver-black foxes which are
guaranteed producers.
Silver-black fox farming originated
in Prince Edwards Island 80 years
ago. From time immemorial furs
have been worn for protection and
adornment. With the increase Of
population and the encroachment
upon the breeding places Of fur
bearing animals. the demand for furs
has become greater and prices have
advanced. The sill
YER black fox is the most beautiful
of all foxes. He is coal black with
the exception OF his tail. which is
tipped for the length OF four or
five inches with silver fur. One
year-old cubs sell for about $1,000
per pair. Good ranch-bred foxes for
breeding purposes have brought as
high as the astonishing price of 49,
600 per pair. However this price is
an exception, and the average sale
price OF the animals is about $4,000.
