The meeting Of Saturday was one
of the best meetings of the associa-

Using. a directory will be of much
value. In the directory will be given
a list of all breeders of the county,
together with their post Office address,
and any one desiring to- learn the
whereabouts of a certain breed Of
stock will merely turn to the direct
DRY for information. However. a man
having stock for sale, and wishing to
turn it quick must depend on the
newspaper for his publicity. Adirect-
DRY Is all right, mind you. but after
looking it over how many will place
it where it can be found when wanted
again? While with newspaper adver-
Using the matter is always before
you, week after week. To our mind
most OF our people who hold public
sales Of pure bred stock rely too much
on stock and agricultural papers for
advertising purposes. True many
stock raisers are subs cribers to these
papers, but the majority of local buy
ers depend on the local paper for ad-
Nvertising news. A livestock man will
spend from $500 to $1,000 advertising
his sale in some stock paper that cir.
culates all over the United States, and
never get a bid outside his own coun,
ty. He overlooks the local paper al
together. The cost of advertising in
the home paper is not drop in the
bucket compared to the cost for the
same ad in national paper, and We
believe reaches an equal number of
buyers. gs@ n.t..,ss.,. q. ..s3 aa.5,'
