April 25, 1916. 
To Members of the Percheron Society of America: 
Lest you forget — 
Let this remind you that all colts foaled in 1915 must be entered for record before 
September 1, 1916. 
Remember that the majority of breeders, through negligence, delay making applica- 
tions until August, and that this results in an enormous congestion of work during the 
fall months. Help us, by sending in at once for your application blanks, and make out 
and forward your applications in May and June. This gives you the advantage of 
better service, and helps your officers reduce expenditures. 
It is just as easy for you to act now, as to delay, — and it benefits your business. 
American breeders have unequaled opportunities to make strong shows of 
Percherons at the fall fairs. Futurities are being held in connection with the Iowa, 
Illinois, Wisconsin and Ohio State Fairs, for colts foaled in 1915. Write the State Fair 
authorities for information re these. The round up of Futurity winners will come at 
the International, the first week in December, 1916, in the Futurity held under the 
direction of the Percheron Society of America. Entries for this will close July 15th, 
second payment September 15th, closing date and final payment November 1st. For 
blanks and detailed information write the Percheron Society of America. 
Reports from all parts of the United States are that farmers and breeders, — the 
men who actually raise the colts, — have enjoyed the most satisfactory trade they have 
ever had. Prospects are that all sound colts of good conformation, if well grown out, 
will sell to unusually good advantage this winter. Colts with a record of prizes won at 
the International will naturally command a premium. Fit your good ones and show. 
It will profit you in every way. If you are faint hearted remember that the first and 
third places, in both futurity classes at the 1913 International, were won by exhibitors 
who had never exhibited at the International before, and one of them had never ex- 
hibited a horse at anything more than his county fair. They had good Percherons, in 
show condition. Go thou and do likewise. 
A few hundred extra copies of the Percheron Review are available. We wish to 
place these in the hands of farmers who are good prospects as purchasers of Percherons. 
These will not be sent out, except upon direct application by letter from the man 
interested, who must give size of farm, its location, and number of horses used. If you 
have a friend who is really interested tell him of this, and have him write to us. 
With best wishes for your continued success, we are 
Yours truly, 
PERCHERON SOCIETY OF AMERICA
