Jasper County Democrat, Volume 20, Number 84, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 January 1918 — Value of Furs. [ARTICLE]

Value of Furs.

The fur-making animals of the Pacific coast are estimated to bring a return of $1,000,000 each year. This is interest at 5 per cent on $20,000,000. It is worth while to protect this invested capital, notes a writer and to increase it if possible. It is on this account that at the last session of the California legislature, a law was passed protecting California’s share of this vast amount during the time of the year that the furs are of no value and establishing other restrictions that wil' aid in conserving the fur industry.
