At Public Auction hursday, RICH HILL, MISSOURI —EWill Offer for Sale Fifty Bred Big Poland China SOWS It is not my desire to boast of what we have done in the show ring nor what we intend doing; but to fit and finish the heaviest and largest herd of State Fair and American Royal class herd champions and grand champions of 1913, is by no means an easy job. It is an honor that I never hoped to attain when I started into business a few years ago, but after all, the rounds to the top of the ladder were not so difficult to climb especially when I once got into the family of State Fair Cham- pions.
