A MAN WHO WILL BE REMEMBERED. 



Andrew J. Lovejoy is one of the foremost benefactors 

 of American agriculture. His constructive work as a 

 swine breeder, his honesty and ability in public offices 

 which he has accepted in the interest of the common good, 

 his enterprise and contagious enthusiasm as a farmer, his 

 competence and fairness as a judge of pedigreed swine, his 

 simplicity and forcefulness as a speaker and writer upon 

 practical questions relating to animal husbandry and farm- 

 ing, his wise and far-sighted counsel in the management 

 of shows and agricultural organizations, his loyal friend- 

 ship and good-will for an exceedingly large circle of ac- 

 quaintances, and his big, warm heart that makes him a 

 welcome and enkindling personality among men, are the 

 outstanding qualities for which he will be long remember- 

 ed. He has deserved the honor and the success which 

 have come to him. From th6 role of a stout-hearted 

 notion and dry-goods wagon peddler, upon the long 

 roads of central Illinois in the days of his ambitious 

 youth, he rose steadily and worthily to the dignified 

 position of a farm owner and widely known breeder 

 of pure-bred hogs. As a vendor of goods he spe- 

 cialized in quality. When he became a Swine breeder 

 he held to his business ideals, and sought steadfastly to 

 ■deliver Swine goods of the highest quality. The annals 

 of the trade testify to his triumphs in this sphere. He is 

 the author of an inspiring, useful and untarnished career, 

 which is still in flower, and his wide and extended experi- 

 ence and unique abilities qualify him for the other kind of 

 authorship which this book creditably represents.
