L. HERR'S CATALOGUE. 



this catalogue, can rely upon one thing, and that is the price asked on all 

 occasions is the lowest dollar that will buy the animal, and they are priv- 

 ileged to investigate the matter and see if my prices are not the same to all 

 parties at that date; of course, where more than one animal is purchased, 

 there may be some reduction made in the price. 



In connection with the above, let me state here, for the benefit of that 

 class of men who accompany gentlemen of means, with the expectation of 

 robbing them whenever a favorably opportunity presents, THAT i PAY NO 

 COMMISSIONS, and would advise tnem to waste none of their valuable :ime 

 by calling at Forest Park. 



In conclusion of this subject, let me say to gentlemen of capital, who 

 never having had opportunities to beccme a good judge cf horse flesh, and 

 feeling that they canr.ot rely upon their own judgement, engage the services- 

 of some expert to counsel and select for them. I say, be cautious gentle- 

 men, as to ivfiom you employ, and select only a man tvith tv/wm you are 

 personally acquainted and 'whose integrity is beyond question, for, if you 

 pick up a party here and there, you are liable to be robbed by your "expe- 

 rienced" friend. 



It is not my desire to cast any reflection whatever upon the gentlemen 

 engaged in the regular live stock commission business, for I have many 

 friends engaged in this business who are reliable and honorable men, and 

 their manner of conducting business is legitimate, and I can heartily en- 

 dorse them as fair dealers and men upon whom the stranger can rely. The 

 foregoing condemnatory remarks aie intended solely for that class known 

 in Kentucky as Leggers and Backcappers who, for the sake of making 

 a few dollars out of the stranger (wJio is unfortunate enough to fall into- 

 their hands') will induce him to purchase that which they know to be worth- 

 less, and which is not what the purchaser is looking for. I EMPLOY NO 

 "LEGGERS" EITHER AT HOME OR ABROAD, and when visitors come, if they feel 

 they are not competent to select for themselves, let them biing some reliable 

 and honest man of their acquaintance with them, and I have no fear but 

 that my stock will show for themselves and be judged according to their 

 merits, and thould I have nothing lo suit the visitors, I will feel satisfied in 

 knowing that my stock have not been * back capped" but have been in- 

 spected for what they are worth. 



When I started in business I made it my motto never to refuse to price 

 any thing I owned, and to make the rates asked on all occasions reasonable, 

 so that no one would ever be able to say that he did not receive the value of 

 his money. I expect to abide by these rules as long as I continue to trade 

 and remain connected with my present calling. 



The foregoing remarks will make it evident that everything in this cat- 

 alogue is for sale. Moreover, I do not hesitate to say that the prices are as- 

 reasonable, and as much will be given at all times for the money as any 

 similar establishment in the country, where animals are warranted as repre-
