The Fur Bringers A Story of the Canadian Northwest by Hulbert Footner The firm of Minot & Doane sat on the doorsill of its store on LakeMiwasa smoking its after-supper pipes. It was seven o'clock of a brilliant day in June. The westering sun shone comfortably on the world, and a soft breeze kept the mosquitoes at bay. Moreover, the tobacco was of the best the store afforded; yet there was no peace between the two. They bickered like schoolboys kept indoors. "How many link-skins in the bale you made up today?" asked Peter Minot. "Three-seventy-two," his young partner answered in a surly tone that was in itself a provocation. "I made it three-seventy-three," said Peter curtly. "What's the difference?" demanded Ambrose Doane. "Seven dollars," said Peter dryly. "Well, you can claim the extra one, can't you," snarled Ambrose, "and make an allowance if it's found short?" "That's not the way I like to do business!" "Too bad about you!" We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
