 John D. Snyder, Winf ield. Col. Snyder grew 

 up in south central Kansas. He is an old timer 

 in the pure bred game and now breeds Short- 

 horns and Poland Chinas. John is serious, 

 earnest and a hard worker. He knows more 

 about Shorthorn cattle and pedigrees and values 

 than most breeders do and in this line is one of 

 the West's best posted auctioneers. He enjoys 

 an extensive patronage in central and south cen- 

 tral Kansas and is very popular with those who 

 know him.
