W. W. WATERS' PERCHERONS 
IOWA CITY, IOWA 
WERE A BIG ATTRACTION AT THE 1920 INTERNATIONAL 
Our first sliow of Percherons was at 
the 1920 Chicago International. IRENE 
153185 was second and IDA 153188 was 
fifth in the 2-year-old filly class, the 
strongest class of the show. IRENE 
was ^second to Oyster's JEANETTE 
1 1'9784, tlie grand champion mare of the 
show. We were also third in the class 
for stallion and 3 mares under 3 years 
old bred by exhibitor. We were also sixth 
in the filly futurity on JULIA 157156. 
I also bred the champion stallion and 
mare at the 1918 South Dakota State 
Fair, the first prize yearling filly at the 
1918 Minnesota State Fair, and the sec- 
ond prize 3-year-old stallion at the 1919 
International. 
These colts were sired by BRIL- 
LIANT D. 45336, the champion Ameri- 
can bred stallion at the 1908 Interna- 
tional and the Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, 
IRENE 153185 Wisconsin and Illinois State Fairs. He 
stood at the head of our stud for a number of years. He was sired bv KIMBERLEY 25726 (44616), by 
BESIGUE (19602), by BRILLIANT III. 11116 (2919). 
We have a few extra good young stallions for sale as well as some mares.

I Mr. Humbert Says: — | 
I The time has come. I knew it was i | 
I coming but it was hard to convince | 
I the average farmer that the draft 
I horse business would ever come back 
I to its own. It has, and now almost 
I everyone is talking horse. Those who 
I were most pessimistic two and three 
1 years ago are the most optimistic 
I now. They are sure that there is 
I more money now in breeding good 
I Percherons tlian there is in any other 
I kind of purebred livestock. I didn't 
I lose my faith in the future of the 
I business like many did. I kept buy- 
I ing every outstanding colt I could 
I find until now my pastures are look- 
I ing like some of the old familiar 
I scenes over in "The Perche" in 
I France. I can sell a buyer a good 
1 young stallion or a carload for less 
I money than any other breeder in 
I America. 
I Try me and see.
