eat and Growing
After Thirty Years

The inception of the present Shurley and
Gaar stock yards enterprise dates back
thirty years. Clinton Shurley and Glenn
Gaar laid it's foundation out on the old
Shurley and Gaar farm on the Williams
burg pike. 1t was modest beginning. 1t
took some time to accumulate the carload
of cattle and calves which comprised their
initial shipment on that Red-Letter day.
Hogs and sheep were at first neglected,
but not for long, after which the business
broadened and shipments assumed regu-
larity.
The saddle and the buggy served in those
days. The modern roadway lay deep under
the mud and the live stock were driven in.
The auto and the truck had not arrived.
The old farm was the receiving center for
many years, for it was not until February,
1908 that part of the present site of the
Glen Miller yards was purchased, and this
has been added to from time to time.
Hundreds of Richmonds business men
have never seen the Glen Miller yards;
nor have they any conception of what these
yards have done toward the building up of
their Individual businesses. The fact that
Shurley and Carr have been bringing
thousands of farmers to Richmond with
live stock, and have paid out hundreds of
thousands annually, which has filtered into
our banks and stores, is vital fact that
many have, seemingly, never discovered.

ment of the simple truth, be it said that
Richmond has a model stock yards plant.
Live stock buyers from all sections rail-
road men who have travelled widely, and
government inspectors familiar with every
phase of the stock yards business, have as
sured us that this is true. A study of the
pictures presented tells but part of the
story. It will be observed, however. that
the live stock is protected from the cold in
winter, and shaded in cool, airy pens in
summer. There is ample capacity under
roof for this protection at all seasons, and
every facility for humane care and
handling.
We are told that no city between Mime
apolis and New York, or between Kansas
City and Louisville, is better prepared to
handle live stock to capacity than is Rich
mond, whether as to local buying or for
feeding in transit, of which the Pennsyl-
vania does a lot at this point. The inter-
iors of the buildings are we'll lighted and
have perfect ventilation in hot weather.
There are numerous outdoor pens well ar
ranged for feeding and shipping, all sup
piled with running water.

marked when in town: "The stock raisers

HUNDREDS AT FLOWER SHOW IF TIE ARIZONA
 SEED AND FLORAL CO.

With every variety of bloom, from rare orchids to the simple old fash toned autumn flowers. the Arizona Seed and Floral company transformed it's entire shop at 2S South Central ave- nue into magnificent conservatory for its annual open house, which was held last evening.
 There were hundreds who attended the opening, lured to the spot by ap- preciation of lovely flowers fascinat- ing music and interest in the firm and it's management
 Pixley's orchestra furnished a de- lightful program during the evening. while the guests of the establishment strolled through the flower -lecked shop admiring the exquisite hothouse roses, the giant chrysanthemums, fra grant carnations and world of other flowers. that were everywhere. Smi lax and queens wreath figured largely in the arrangements that were under the direct supervision of J. R. Seivers of San Francisco, a real artist in flowers, who will have charge of the i floral department.
 The predominating note in tbe decorative scheme was basket. A mar velous collection of every size and l type, dainty French affairs and the more dignified bronze baskets, filled to overflowing with blossoms, were dis played, while miniature crystal bas- kets and those of larger measure were found in number. The indoor window boxes bolding feathery ferns added a charming note as did the potted cycla- : men in radiant bloom.
 An interesting feature was the table arranged for a smart dinner The decorations were unusually beautiful
 AIr. Seiver using hothouse roses foI the centerpiece. The corsage favors were tied to each chair with a clever silk cord. The effect would have beer
 beautiful anywhere and was especially
