0 /'"^ NCE more the last echoes of toUing New Year bells q 
0 If have softened away in the distance and another mile- 0 
n stone has been f)assed. As we tarry to meditate, we see UK 
n new records of breed achievements. New horses have come UK 
n into prominence. New breeders have fallen into step with H 
n older ones, and the lives of a few breeders whose names stand 
^ ' high in Percheron histor)^ have descended into the darkness ^ 
^ since last we extended greetings for the New Year. ^

^ We have designed this year book that it may stand as a 
0 lasting monument to whatever achievements were recorded ^ 
0 during the year. It is dedicated to those who do not yet know - 0 
0 the pleasure and fascination which comes with the producing 0 
0 of good Percherons, and to young men especially, Avho are still 0 
0 unconscious of the fact that these well bred animals presented 0 
n herein, are but manifestations of the efforts of the best breeders HH 
n of two nations to produce a draft horse for a definite purpose EH 
n in the world's affairs. n 
n n 
n The illustrations represent the handiwork of great men of H 
^ other days and of a people who speak a different tongue from ^ 
^ ours. They are proof as well of the progressive work of ^ 
0 breeders still living in our own land. 0

0 That cover page? It came to us from Scotland. Yes, 
0 that pair of Percheron mares hitched tandem fashion was 0 
0 photographed in that land where in spite of the fact that 0 
0 "Old Scotland is Scotland still", her farm folks are beginning 0 
0 to admire and to use good Percherons. Credit is due the Earl 0 
0 of Minto for sending us this beautiful picture, taken on his 0 
n estate. HI

n The morning stars of this New Year shine out with the HI 
n dawn of a new day in Percheron history. The world is turning 0 
n a critical corner. Once our financial clouds have broken, there 
^ will be no dark war spots for years to come, we hope, to mar the ^ 
0 satisfaction nor to lessen the remuneration which comes from ^ 
0 producing good Percherons. 0
