THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, MAY 20, 1930 | Selling Livestock by Mail Order Has Rejuvenated Old Texas Ranch {0QUDHEADCATTLE, [[—_Ssvesonaai over snc aneh SOLD ANNUALLY BY | POSTAL BUSINESS Property Embraces 225,000 Acres, on Which Herds of 28,000 Are Grazed PRINTED WORD Modern Methods Adapted to Op- eration of Fifty-Year-Old Breeding Outfit IS AGENT Stamford, Tex., May 20.— Selling tattle by mail order has made the old Swenson ranch one of the biggest business corporations in west Texas. ‘This ranch, founded in 1883 by E. P, and S. A. Swenson, has grown to corporation size, owning 225,000 acres of choice grazing lands and repre- senting an investment of several mil- lion dollars. And the Swenson Land and Cattle company has made most of its money by filling mail orders for Hereford cattle. On the Swenson lands graze 28,000 head of cattle, of which 25,000 are Herefords and 2,000 _ shorthorns. Scores of herd bulls of pedigreed rgyalty are kept, and these vie with the best cattle in the country. Dur- ing the past ten years five grand champion awards at the Chicago Livestock Show have been won by representative bulls from this ranch. Sell 10,000 Head Annually Filling mail orders for cattle has been the big business of the Swenson organization for years. Annual sales are in excess of 10,000 head and often the demand exceeds twice that num- ber. For the most part, their orders come from mid-west states in the corn belt. “We sold more than 10,000 head of cattle, exclusively by mail order, to buyers during the past year,” says A. J. Swenson, general manager of the organization. “We could have just as easily sold twice that number had we been able to produce the cattle. Ninety-five per cent of these sales are made solely on information given the buyer through printed literature and we have rarely ever obtained reports of & dissatisfied customer.” Use Modern Methods Naturally, in such a big business, cattle raising is done scientifically. Losses from disease have been re- duced to a minmum through scien- tific breeding and care. Modern ma- chinery and equipment keeps the ranch clean from animal pests. ‘The present owners of the Swenson ranch are sons of the late S. M. Swenson, who settled in Austin and}, engaged in banking and cattle raising in 1866, Early in their youth the 7 brothers were moved to New York, but the call of the west never left them and they returned to establfsh the cattle mail order business which is proving so profitable to them. For nearly 50 years the Swensons have played a big part in the develop- ment of west Texas. With the found- ing of Stamford in 1900 they as- sumed the leading roll in the building of the city and have never slackened their co-operation with citizens who became identified with the city and section in the unique development. history that has featured the story of Stamford and west Texas.
