British and North American shows, and were always 

 in the very first flight. 



Personally a man of fine presence, a born judge 

 of animal form, skilled perhaps beyond all his con- 

 temporaries in the blending of Clydesdale types, 

 shrewd and diplomatic enough to have graced any 

 chancellery in Europe, ANDREW MONTGOMERY easily 

 stood at the head of his profession at the time of 

 his death at 64 years of age, in 1912. To him 

 Scotland is indebted more than to any other one 

 man for the great Clydesdale activity and advance 

 that set in during the early seventies. The study 

 of how the best Clydesdales have been produced 

 since the MONTGOMERY era was inaugurated is one 

 that is at the present time interesting deeply a large 

 number of devoted admirers of the breed, who find 

 the latter-day accomplishments in this field intensely 

 fascinating.
