! One of the most interesting features
| of the afternoon session of the Stock
| Breeders association was a paper by
j. c.. Robinson of Towanda, Kan. The
| following is from Mr.. Robinson's pa
per:
''Since the increased demand for
pure-bred horses of all kinds. and as a
| consequence the greatly increased
price. it has become very common for
breeders and dealers to sell their sur
| ot ROC
| sons. The main one of course is that
! all that are for sale do not have to be
fitted and kept in sale condition all
the time, but may be fitted and dis
posed of when in proper condition. An
other is that a greater number of buy
ers nav be secured in this manner. as
| buyers for all classes are sure to at
| tend a public Vendue where they are
more apt to find all classes on sale.
/ In making public sales Ofe pure bred
stock one of the greatest features for sue
cess is too often overlooked by those
not accustomed to disposing of their
surplus stock in this manner, that is the
generous use of printers ink: by this
mean judicious ADVERTISING Much money
is wasted each year by placing advertis-
| ing matter of this kind in papers that do
not reach breeders and dealers. These
are the ones that buy the stock and must
/ necessarily be in attendance. Do not be
! afraid to spend few dollars in display
lists, secure drawings from life of a few
of the best you have to Offer 1t is money
we'll spent
neat and attractive manner The cata-
logue should contain Illustrations of some
of the more notable ones in the offering
and if prize winners the same should be
mentioned with their good qualities, fash
ionable breeding, etc. DO not send out
cheap material and in a cheap manner.
The first impression of the party receiv-
ing it will be that the stock YOU are
about to offer is of the same quality"
