Don’t wait a single day—ship at once, because we have our orders to fill which enables us to pay you highest 
obtainable market prices. Our years of experience assures you honest and intelligent grading. Our reputa¬ 
tion assures you a square deal. 
Why We Pay More For Your Furs 
We can and do pay more for your furs, because we are centrally located in the biggest fur market of the World, “NEW YORK 
CITY.” No matter where you sell your furs, it is almost a certainty that they eventually must reach this great fur market. Mer¬ 
chants from all over the World come to New York to secure their furs because 90 °/o of all the furs are dressed, dyed and manufac¬ 
tured in New York. Being right here in New York we are able to secure the best possible prices from manufacturers; they know 
we are able to furnish them with large quantities and best quality of furs of all kinds. 
Don’t Pay 5% For 
Handling 
Do you realize that the extra 6 
charged by many fur houses is 
“velvet”? There is no more justice 
in charging you for handling your 
furs than there would be in your 
charging them 6% for wrapping up 
your bundle. You know what a 
difference this Bfa makes with the 
6 °fo additional you receive from us, 
when you consider the high prices 
of today. 
The resale margin of every fur 
house is big enough to enable them 
to pay all the expenses incident to 
buying your furs and still leave a 
fair profit. Why ship to these 5% 
houses when you can send all your 
furs to George I. Fox? We do not 
charge 5% and in addition we quote 
and pay higher average prices than 
these other fur houses. Yes —we 
even go farther than this—on all 
bundles of over $75.00 
We Pay You 5% Extra 
We can afford to do this because it 
is much cheaper to handle a single 
bundle of furs valued at from $75.00 
and up than it is for us to handle 
the same number of furs reaching 
us as a half-dozen bundles. We 
pass this saving on to you. Our 
old shippers have learned what this 
means to them in a bigger check 
and more money. What we want 
is to get acquainted with you who 
have never sent a shipment to 
George I. Fox of New York City.
