Weckley Dakotan: Robinson Bros.
of Smith, who have been purchasing
and raising blooded sheep on their
ranch, are making the business success
full. The Pierre people who saw the
prize sheep thoy brought from the St.
Louis exposition last fall will remem-
Der what fine animals they we're. The
Robinsons have sold $4,000 worth of
rams of their own raising the past
year, and are having difficulty to sup

their home ranch near Smith. This il
Il business that will pay and is paying
big and all should take advantage o
the opportunity offered and profit b.
