SILVER FOX is quite the most popular fur of the moment, a visitor from London remarking that hardly any other type of fur stole was seen there during the past winter. The raising of foxes on farms has become a very prominent industry in many countries. In Norway it has developed to considerable proportions in recent years. The constantly-increasing cost of feeding the animals has resulted, in a definite trend toward individually-owned fox farms, it being estimated that about half of the fur farms in Norway at present are in this category. There are more than 9,500 farms in Norway. In 1935 the Norwegian Silver Fox Breeders’ Association handled furs valued at £425,000, compared with £175,000 in 1934.
