Leading 
Fur House 
Furs Are Worth Big Money 
Furs will be higher than they have ever been in the history 
of the fur business and the Abraham Fur Co. will again be 
the leaders in paying trappers more money for their furs 
than they can get from any other fur house in the World. 
We were the only large fur house in the United States 
that made a gain in number of shipments received last 
year; all others showed a decline. Why ? Because trap¬ 
pers everywhere have found out that it pays and pays 
big to ship furs to Abraham Fur Co. 
Anybody can tell you how high furs are hut we will show 
you xoith real money. Send us furs you have on hand now. 
For many years we have made a specialty of handling 
early caught furs and we can pay you a better price for 
this class of furs than ever before. 
We will pay you more than you can get at home—more 
than you can get from any other fur house and more than 
you expect yourself—that’s going some, but we are in a 
position to beat all price records for furs and we are going 
to do it.
