We don't believe the business men
OF Denison nor the breeders of pure
bred stock residing near Deniso1i fully
realize the great growth of the pure
bred livestock business in Crawford
county within the past two years. II
they did they would not permit the
livestock pavilion project to lay dor
mant. Now that more OF our farmers
are getting into the pure bred game
and the government has commenced
the agitation, as to pure bred stock,
the first town that erects a pavilion
will get all the business for a number
OF years to come. Denison is the log:

built throughout Nebraska. The av.

numbers anywhere from seventy.five
to one hundred and twenty-five stock
holders, some Of them farmers, Others
pure bred raisers, and still others town

which will seat at least GOO people,
and which contains stall room for one
hundred head of cattle and fifty or
sixty hogs. ..-
The pavilion need not be altogether
confined to the sale Of pure bred stock,
sales of all kinds could be held in such
a building. The association is man
Jagged by a board of directors, elected
by the stockholders, and one man gen.

(which anyone may consign articles or
stock. The association advertises
these general sales, hires an auction.

sales and wishing their own auctioneer

ibuilding.
