These records were all made at Lakeside, and from cows bred or imported 

 by that establishment. 



The Artis family, which has proven very desirable, was brought into prom- 

 inence at Lakeside. 



The founder of this family, Artis, owned by Messrs. Man & Son of Holland, 

 was bred by the government of the Netherlands, his dam and sire both having 

 been kept in the Zoological Gardens at Amsterdam, as choice specimens of the 

 breed. 



This bull founded a choice family, a large number of which were brought 

 to America by Smiths & Powell Co.
