GREATEST OF ALL
ABERDEEN SALES
Escher & Ryan, of Irwin, Will Have
the Most Sensational Offering Of
Aberdeens Ever Put Up
TWo-DAY SALE AT MANNING
The Great 1918 Show Herd and Last
slice From Famous McHenry
Herd Included in the Sale

One of the big events for southern
Crawford county and all of the ad.
Joining counties of Carroll, Shelby and
Audubon, will take place at Manning
on June Sd and 9TH, when Messrs.
Escher & Ryan, of Irwin, will sell what
is plain to be seen the most sensa-
tionaE offering in Aberdeen Angus
cattle these gentlemen have ever put
up. There will be ITS head and about
Is of these will have calves at foot.
The Wallaces' Farmer tells Of the
offering as follows, and we call atten-s
ton to the large advertisement to be
found on page six of this section
of this paper -.
| One hundred and thirty head are
! Blackbirds and Ericas. Ten extraor-
dinary bulls will sell. two of which
are herd bulls that are demonstrated
producers. They are Enlate and
Blackcap Clipper. Enlate is the cham
pion of year ago and looks fit to turn
the trick again this year. We regard
him as being, the> peer of any Erica
bull ever offered. There. are those
who perhaps rate him higher, And
while Erica bulls have been sold for
record prices. we see no reason why
Enlate should not get deeper into the
pockets of those wanting the best and
who are judges enough to determine
the best, than any bull yet exposed at

late, and ones enthusiasm for the bull
at once increases. And Blackcap Clip
per is some real Blackbird bull, as
well as a breeder. To buy bull
breeder means much. And this is
what Blackcap Clipper is. Blackcap
Clipper I'd gives ample evidence OF
this. He, too, is included in the sale.
You may ask why such bulls would
be offered. There are different reas-
ons for this. a marked reduction is
being made in their herds, and they
are long on top herd bulls. Chas.i
Escher the old faithful that he is, is
planning on long earned rest. He is
going to diminish his cares of the
farm for the time, and to work out his
plans it seems best to materially re-
duce the herd at Longhranch. Not
lonly will these great bulls be offered.
