I'll tell you why. "You see this is
Thursday and tomorrow is Friday
Horse Sale Day In Ottumwa. So if
you are going to have, something there
you will have to act quick. You
might go part way this evening, so by'
starting early geijt in plenty of time to
morrow. You should get there for this
week's sale if possible, for several
reasons. One is, the market is good,
another is that the bad weather and
bad roads have made it impossible for
buyers to get their loads over the
country. So they will be at the sale
and very anxious for horses, and you
will get every dollar your horse is
worth. A shipper bills a town to buy
horses on a certain day and many of
you take horses in. The only market
there, is. what this one buyer sees fit
to offer. Whereas at the Ottumwa
sales you have anywhere from 20 to 25
shippers bidding in sharp competition
for the horses. Another thing, one man
has a market for a certain class of
horses, maybe draft,- maybe Southern,
or some other class. Whlia at our sale
we have buyers from all markets, foi
all classes horses, even for colts
Jrom weanlings up. This is now easily
the best attended and most successful
sale in Iowa, and the way more and
more farmers from this and surround
ing counties are patronizing it, I be
lieve they appreciate the faot, that it
is -making a great horse market foi
Southeast Iowa.
As I stated in a former issue, I will
have an assistant bookkeeper from
now on. In fact the increased busi
ness compels me to, so I will be able
to devote more of my own time to
settling up with those who have sold,
and want to get home early. In this
way every seller can be settled with
on the day of the sale, and those sell
ing before noon can get their cash as
soon as the horses are tested at noon.
Parties having unbroken colts and
horses too thin for market, should get
them in to the sale immediately after
the noon lunch, so they can be sold
while the other horses are being work
ed. Parties wanting to buy these
classes should be on hand at this hour.
Parties preferring to buy horses for
their own use at private sale, can And,
them at my feed stable in South Ot
tumwa. Good notes are good' enough
for me, if you haven't the cash, and' I
know I get that way occasionally my
self. Sometimes oftener,
