CHARLES o. ROBINSON ORGANIZES NEW F1RM
UPON DISSOLUTION OF CLAY, ROBINSON & co.

The beginning of 1922 Saw one
of the most important changes in
the livestock commission business
that has occurred for many years,
when the we'll known old firm of
Clay, Robinson & Co. terminated
its existence by limitation of its
corporate charter, and a firm name
that has been a household word
among the stockmen of the west
and farmers all over the United
States ceased to exist.
Montana stock growers will,
however, be pleased to learn that
their old friend, Charles O. Robin
son, has opened commodious quar-
tiers in a much better location in
the Chicago yards than the old
firm possessed, and under the firm
name of Charles 0. Robinson &
Co. will continue to do business at
the old stand.
In his announcement to the stock
growers of the United States,
Charles 0. Robinson says:
"The foundation of this firm was
aid by my father, Jos. M. Robin
on, in May, 1874. Upon his death
n July, 1886, | succeeded him I'M
Ter the name of Charles 0. Robin
on & Co. Later in that year John
LAY and William H. Forrest solicit
ed me to join forces with them
nd we founded the firm of Clay,
robinson & Co., and this firm has
ontinued active for a period of IS
ears. During hal time we built
p the largest livestock commits
ion business in the world.
"The name of Robinson has been
household word among stock
len for seventy years. My father

back before there were any rail
roads. In those days he bought a
great many fat cattle and drove
them on foot to Philadelphia and
New York, and he knew every
prominent cattleman in Ohio and
a host of them between Ohio and
New York.
"When I started in business with
my father and brother, the late
Robert Robinson Gather of Leo
Robinson, who is associated with
the new firm at South Omaha, my
father told us we were sure to get
all the business we could handle
if we did the right thing by our
customers Our motto has been to
treat every man alike and sell every

stock owners stock strictly on its
merits. We have followed that
policy, making returns or the day
the stock was sold, which has al
ways pleased the owner and his
bank.
81 am continuing this business
under the new firm name of
Charles 0. Robinson & Company.
I will take with me those of the
present employees that can be of the
greatest value to the new firm.

Il will personally sell cattle as
usual, and will have full charge
of all shipments of cattle, hogs and
sheep consigned to Charles O.
Robinson & Co. I shall be very
glad to continue receiving the pat
ronage of my numerous friends as
in the past, and assure them that
all stock consigned to us will be
handled and sold with the same
care as they have been since 1874"

Easy to start from the breakfast table with
zest and enthusiasm, but how easy is 1t to
keep on? Does ambition last, or lag, as the day
develops?
The afternoon slump" is a factor to be count
ed upon, in business or social life.
Usually, there's a reason.
Nerves whipped by tea or coffee won't keep
on running, and they won't stand constant
whipping.
Many a man or woman who has wished the
afternoon would be as bright as the morning has
simply been wishing that the nerves wouldn't
have to pay the natural penalty for being whipped
with the caffeine drug.
Postum gives a breakfast cup of comfort and
cheer, without any penalties afterward. There's

drowsiness to make up for midnight wakefulness;
no headaches; no nervous indigestion; no increase
of blood pressure.
