Horse Blankets whichare strong
and have a reputation are always
initiated in poor qualities which
look like them, but having fewer
warp threads are not as strong.
Some dealers buy these poor
limitations for a few cents less and
by saying they are ''just as good"
sell them at the same price as the
strong blankets to parties who do
not know the difference.
You cannot tell whether horse
blankets are strong by the look
or feel, as the warp threads do
not show on the face. How then
are you to know7 .
1norder that you cantella strong
blanket from a weak one, the manu-
facturer Of 81 Horse Blankets
sews the above 81 Trade Mark
inside Of each blanket. This is a
guarantee that it is the strongest
blanket made for the money and
will wear we'll.
Many poor limitations have been
sold as 81 blankets. Remember
none are genuine unless the
81 Trade Mark is sewed inside.
