Our next regular sale Is on Friday

1t than the last two sales have had.
In addition to the regular sale Of mar
ket horses we expect to sell a. lot OF
draft bred young range horses and
mares, and ] want to say a little some
thing about this feature Of the bust
ness--and | am talking to YOU, pro-
viding you would like to make some
money on horses during the next SIX
months. We will sell you such a quail
ity of unbroken horses and at such g.
price that they will come right back IL
this auction within six months and
bring you a mighty nice. profit.
They will be the sort that grow intn
good draft and business horses and
have naturally inherited from their
draft ancestry n quiet disposition and
are easily broken. We will sell them,
to you on six months time and be-
fore the notes are due we will resell
them for you in this market at from
25 to 100 per cent advance. Mayha
you doubt this. I'll give you a few
cases in point A year or so & .swe

same, class. One man, Mr.. MaIts, liv-
ing south Of this city, gave $11!.50 For
a choice four-year-old mare unbroken.
He hitched her UP Ii drove her
home and had her blowing corn the
next week. He tells me he has re-
peatedly refused 5000 for her.
! sold an unbroken roe mare to an
old gentleman here in the city. Hc
had her teaming on the streets within
10 days, used her steadily for a year,
earning him a living and we re-sold
her for him, lacking just SIS OF
doubling what he gave.
8. A. Stroud, of Hedrick, bought 4
fancy coach pair, u~nbroken, used them
a year as drivers, then sold them thia
year for over $500 spot cash.
Mr.. T.. Gibson, a teamster OF this
city, gave me $S5 for one of his same
bunch. He put him next day into team
work, and has used him every day for
over a year. having refused $3.50 70.
above statements can all be verb
fed by seeing these purchasers. The
point is. they bought the right kind,
