Scope and content
George H. Jensen, owner of the Tacoma Silver Fox Farm, was photographed in September of 1926 holding a fox. The fox breeding farm, located south of Tacoma, was one of the leaders in the nation in the propagation of fur foxes. In January of 1927, they shipped out 82 foxes to a new farm, Sunflower Fox Farm in Topeka, KS. This was the largest order for foxes ever undertaken in the west and one of the largest ever placed in the history of fox breeding. The foxes netted $39,500, with prices ranging as high as $1,000 for a single fox. TPL-7081 (TNT 1/101927, pg. 9)
