SIX GREAT SALES ANNUALLY
HELD BY NEW YORK
DEALER
—
When the great war made it
difficult to ship furs to and from
Britain, and also made it danger
ous for buyers from America to
cross the Atlantic, London, for
centuries the fur sale center of
the world, was no longer the log
ical center for American buyers,
to visit. The war erased Leipzig j
from the picture entirely, whilej
impoverished Paris and Moscow j
lost the prestige which has been
i theirs prior to the opening of hos
j tilities. |
American markets, New York, I
St. Louis, Seattle, and in Canada,!
Montreal, rose to world leadership, j
Leading American dealers evolved i
the idea of organizing raw fur
auction sales in New York, and
the New York Fur Auction Sales
Came into being. The idea was a
tremendous success from the start
and these sales have since become
an authoritative barometer record
ing fur trade conditions of Amer
ica and of the world.
The New York Auction Co., Inc.,
today is headed by Mr. J. Gordon
Noakes, a national figure in the
fur trade of the country. His en
gaging personality, fair manner
and outstanding skill as an auc
tioneer, are qualities which he has
exercised to the betterment of the
American fur industry for the past
15 years. The fur industry knows,
admires and trusts J. Gordon
Noakes. Throughout, his 25 years
in the auction business, 10 in the
service of the United States gov
ernment, and 15 in the fur in
dustry, he has proved his ability
j to sell merchandise, particularly
I furs, at their fair value.
Mr. Noakes is ably and actively
|
1 ' ■-— ' " ---
assisted in the conduct of the
business by Charles S. Porter,
chairman of the Board, and by
Dan Collyer; also by Robert L.
Ridley, nationally known fox ex
pert, and William L. Tichenor,
warehouse manager.
Six gigantic auction sales are
held annually by the New York
Auction Co., Inc. There are the
Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter
auctions, as wrell as two additional
auctions, held particularly for the
sale of Silver Fox. Special sales
of large individual collections are
held occasionally.
Mr. Noakes and his staff receive,
sort and sample thousands of pelts
prior to each sale; a tremendous
task, but one which is invariably
performed to the complete satis
faction of shipper and buyer. Ev
ery lot of skins must have its
representative sample guaranteed
by the company to be a fair one,
and each lot must have a com
plete record of all transactions af
fecting it since its shipment from
the station of a little trapping
center to the final check which
the seller receives for his goods.
This method of marketing mer
chandise has been instrumental in
stabilizing the business of trap
pers, collectors and fur breeders
by giving them the assurance that
their pelts will go to the market
protected by the reputation of a
great auction company and that
they will be offered to the fur
buyers in a manner which shall
give them every opportunity to
register a good seling figure.
The New York Auction Company
welcomes all fur producers on its
mailing list. There is no obliga
tion whatsoever.
