Prince Edward Island still has 3 fox farms. At the turn of the last century, it supplied 85% of the World's Silver Fox fur - at prices up to $2,600 per pelt - that's the equivalent of $60,000 per pelt today.
The furs were usually made into stoles by furriers in the big cities, such as San Francisco and Chicago, with a huge mark-up on the pelt price.
