Bock & Mohr Fur Farms
| Text on front reads: "Bock & Mohr Fur Farms, Inc. Rochester, Wisconsin. World's Largest and Most Beautiful Mink and Fitch Ranch. The Choicest of Furs and Breeding Stock For Sale - Visitors Permitted - Information Gladly Furnished." Three photos appear on the front, a panoramic of many animal cages, a boy feeding young animals and two bundles of pelts. Text on the reverse: "Our stock was personally selected from the leading fur farms of Alaska, Canada, and Europe. Our mink are second to none in the United States. Our fitch are the S.B.P. strain, recognized in Europe as the best. Fitch are new in this country. They are tame, love to be handled, and are very easy to raise. Their rich yellow and black fur leads in fur popularity and is very durable. No animal will make as much profit, and give you more enjoyment than fitch. Visit our ranch; see these fine animals; also inspect the choice furs we have for sale. Economize, select the furs you want for your coat or neck piece. Our ranch is located twenty-five miles southwest of Milwaukee, on State Highways 36 and 83." |
