THE PERCHERON REVIEW 
^0 5^^rxrl|^r0tt 0itn 
ON THE following pages you will find advertisements from some of the best Percheron 
breeders in North America. We only regret that more of our great breeders did not 
avail themselves of this opportunity to display their work before the public through the 
printed page and to let prospective buyers know what they have for sale. Inquiries come 
to our office daily from parties wanting to buy Percherons, and we have been forced 
heretofore to answer such requests by sending them one of our member's lists. We expect, of 
course, to continue supplying a copy of our members' list in response to a request from a prospec- 
tive buyer as well as a copy of this Percheron Review. We believe that the advertisements carried 
in this booklet will now afford the Society an opportunity of helping the buyer to get into closer 
touch with the breeders in all parts of the country who have good Percherons for sale. We believe 
it will be a means of the Society rendering a very valuable service to its people who are producing 
these horses. That in the end is our greatest aim — "To render the greatest possible service to the 
greatest number of Percheron breeders." 
We have given every member of our Society the opportunity of having an ad in this issue of 
the Percheron Review. There are a large number of splendid breeders whose work is not herein 
represented, and we have a personal feeling of regret that the efforts of these men are not set forth 
properly in this issue of our booklet. We hope that we will not need to make this statement in our 
next Percheron Review. We have the ambition that this service of salesmanship to our breeders 
and to prospective buyers may grow to such an extent that it will be necessary to issue this breed 
publication twice a year or quarterly, instead of annually. 
Assistant Secretary McFarland has prepared each of these ads carefully. He has based his 
statements concerning show yard winnings entirely on the fair record of our office. Each ad has 
been submitted to the breeder himself and approved by him. The breeder is entirely responsible 
for the facts set forth in the advertisement, — not the Society. 
Wayne Dinsmore, Secretary.

PRIZE WINNING PERCHERONS OF 1919. 
Herewith is presented tlie fifth annual report of all Percheron shows In 
the United States of State Fair rank and above and of all large Canadian 
shows recognized by the Percheron Society of America during the past Fair 
season. Owing to exorbitant prices on printing it was deemed inadvisable to 
publish a report of the awards at county shows and small Canadian Fairi 
as has been our custom in years past. Every effort has been made to malce 
this report free from errors, but we have been obliged to rely upon informa- 
tion furnished by Fair ofBcials and if a few mistaltes are found, we ask 
your patience and co-operation in the future. A few Fairs have failed to 
furnish details required in some classes and in such we have been compelled 
to omit the awards. Affected exhibitors are requested to impress on Fair 
ofBcials who have failed to keep proper records, the extreme importance of 
having their ring books complete in every detail. No Fair book is complete 
unless it gives the name and registry number of every animal that won a 
prize, even in the groups. Exhibitors who have shown unrecorded foals 
should remember that we cannot publish such winnings. In the group 
classes, such as get of sire, produce of dam, grand display or breeder's 
group, exhibitors could advertise their show records more, and at the same 
time enhance the value of this annual publication by giving the name and 
registry number of every animal shown in a group to the clerk when the 
awards are made and before the animals leave the ring. 
In the open classes, breeders are given following all American bred 
animals indicated by (B) except where tlie animal is bred by the exhibitor. 
If breeder is not given it is understood that the exhibitor Is the breeder. 
Addresses are not given, as these can be obtained from the stud books or 
from the published lists of members. 
This year our special premiums went to the three American bred horses 
that stood highest in their respective open classes, any age, both sexes, ai 
well as get of sire, produce of dam, and mare and foal classes.
