There have been more ‘-wildcat” price lists issued this year than ever before, and as a conse-
quence there have been many bitter disappointments for fur shippers in the grading which they ’‘O
S U received from such houses. Misleading fur shippers by “over-quoting” the market and then slashing JWiill
V the grade to make up the difference must be stopped, and the Abraham Fur Co. proposes to ex- ■ JL
pose all such unfair business methods.
S - The prices which we quote honestly reflect actual market value of furs and are based on a fair C, \B
standard of grading, and while these prices are considerably lower than prices sent out by some
of the “ Hi & h ’Q uoters ” our returns in actual cold cash win be niore in Iline cases out of ten -
“ Trappers and fur shippers can soon stop these “wildcat” tactics by patronizing only reliable \?~ "
5 houses and posting their neighbors and fellow-trappers when they get “stung” by some of these
» high-quoters. B
■c W; Abraham Fur Co. guarantees the grade as well as the price and satisfactory returns are assured
to all fur shippers that send us their furs.
