MAKE FUR SHIPMENT
Silver Black Fox Ranchers
Ship 1900 Pelts to New
York Market. Value is
High.

The largest single shipment of
silver black fox furs sent from
this state or any other for that
matter was that made by Fromm
Bros. of Wausau and Nieman of
Cedarburg. The Wausau Pilot tells
Of this shipment:
What is said to be the largest
Individual shipment of silver black
fox fur ever made is a shipment of
more than 1900 silver fox pelts
taken to New York last week by
Edward Fromm of the town of
Hamburg and John F. Nieman of
Cedarburg. The consignment was
insured for $225,0O0 and it's value
is declared to be considerably in
excess Of this figure. The pelts
are from foxes that have been
killed on the four Fromm and Me
man ranches at Thiensville and
Milwaukee This shipment, it is
said, means that at the New York
auction, Wisconsin furs will very
largely accommodate the market.
The auction will open February 8
under the auspices Of the New
York Fur Auction company and is
one Of the largest fur auctions
conducted in the United States.
The Fromm-Nieman ranches will
also conduct some private sales of
furs."
