IMPERIAL BISCUIT COMPANY LTD. Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island - taken from the Island Farmer, July 30, 1924.

The fox fur boom came to an end quickly because of imprcper supply, control and lack of understanding of the current consuner demand. The Island began shipping live foxes which cut the dermnd for foxes from the Island. Outsiders began breeding the foxes andthe supply increased so the demand decreased. The prices were some- times as low as $3.00 to $3.50 per pair of pelts. The consumers soon tired of the silver black furs and wanted a variety to choose from which cut the demand even more. Since the 1940’s fox ranching has virtually disappeared except for a few isolated ranches. A revivd of the fur industry in the 1980’s was short lived.

The lumber industry started on P.E.I. in the late 1800’s. At that time the Island was rich in this raw material. Heavy dark forests almost completely covered the Island and early settlers, like James Barclay, realized their potential.
