Sollberger Brothers (Fox Farm– 1929)
Last week the Sollberger Brothers completed the pens for their foxes at the farm of John Sollberger Jr., near Columbia (Town of Hewett), and bought two pairs of select stock of the Silver Black foxes from the fox ranch of Robert Quinnell in Pine Valley. The Sollbergers begin the fox business after careful study of fox breeding and feeding and are likely to make a success of it. They start with the very best stock possible. Mr. Quinnell has a very choice lot, and out of his entre bunch picked out twenty of the less desirable, "pelted" them and sold the furs on the market at a good price. The Sollberger Bros. had the pick of the rest and of course start with two fine pairs. Mr. Quinnell has twenty pairs left to carry over for the coming year’s breeding. All are beautiful animals.
