STANDARD FOOD & FUR ASS’N 
Broadway New York City 
“I shipped them in two lots. The 
first lot consisted of two (2) does and 
two (2) bucks. They said that they 
had received all 0. K., and dihat I was 
to send my contract back and get a re¬ 
newal before I could get my check. I 
had a true copy of the contract made, 
then I sent the original to them and kept 
the copy. In answer they told me that 
I had shipped Flemish Giants instead 
of Black Siberians and they were under 
weight. Now I have proof that I have 
never had or owned another kind of 
hares but the ones purchased from the 
company, and their young, so if I 
shipped them Flemish Giants, they mis¬ 
represented them 
to me as Black 
Siberians.” 
Another typical 
story comes from 
Pennsylvania, 
from a gentleman 
who paid $92 to 
prepay an order. 
He writes as fol-. 
lows: 
/ “After waiting 
five months for 
delivery, on Sep¬ 
tember 17, I sub¬ 
mitted a letter to 
the Standard 
Food & Fur As¬ 
sociation in which I cancelled my order. 
On September 25 I received a crate in 
which were three rabbits shipped via 
the American Express Company, ex¬ 
press bill on end of crate was dated 
September 20—please note five days 
express live stock two hundred miles— 
and was marked ‘Four (4) live rabbits. 7 
On September 26 I received a letter 
written under date of September 24 
from the Standard Food & Fur Associa¬ 
tion advising ‘that we have this day for¬ 
warded you an exceptionally fine con¬ 
signment of Imported Spotted. Giants, 
etc. 7 On September 27 I received an¬ 
other letter dated September 24 from 
the Standard Fpod & Fur Association 
saying ‘We have this day forwarded 
you 3 does and 1 buck of French Argent 
de Champagne via the American Rail¬ 
way Express Company. 7 Both letters 
were signed by the Secretary but his 
signature was undecipherable so that 
his name remains a mystery. 
“We place the rabbits in pens and, 
of course, have been feeding and taking 
proper care of them. To-day we made 
an investigation with the purpose of de¬ 
termining their sex and there was re¬ 
vealed the exceedingly pleasing (?) fact 
that each of the three rabbits were in

complete possession of all the essentially 
masculine faculties. 
“Permit me to summarize: 
“April 18, 1923—Ordered 3 does and 
1 buck Imported French Argent de 
Champagne. Check in amount $92.00 
full coverage, forwarded therewith. 
“April 19, 1923—Receipt of order and 
check acknowledged by the Association, 
shipment to be made ‘soon as possible. 7 
“September 17, 1923—Letter for¬ 
warded cancelling order. (Five months 
during which $92.00 of. my money was 
working for the Association.) 
“September 25, 1923—Received 3 
rabbits in crate marked ‘Four (4) 
live rabbits. 7 Ex¬ 
press bill dated 
September 20. 
“September 26, 
1923 — Received 
letter dated New 
York, September 
24, advising ‘We 
have this day 
forwarded an ex¬ 
ceptionally fine 
consignment o f 
Imported Spotted 
Giants. 7 Letter 
signed by Secre¬ 
tary, of Associa¬ 
tion. 
“September 27, 
1923—Received letter dated New York, 
September 24, advising ‘We have this 
day forwarded you 3 does and 1 buck 
French Argent De Champagne. 7 Letter- 
signed by Secretary of Association. 
“September 29, 1923—Wonder of 
wonders. Three doe and 1 buck of 
April 18, acknowledged as same on 
April 19 had undergone a change in the 
course of five months and on September 
24 were Imported Spotted Giants, on 
the same day changed back to their 
original designation as French Argent 
de Champagne, on September 25, in¬ 
stead of four, their number was reduced 
to three, and still more marvelous on 
September 29, they were each possessed 
of faculties with which nature endows 
only the lordly buck.” 
An ex-soldier from South Dakota 
paid $31.50 to the company for some 
rabbits. Read what he has to say about 
his experience:
