2 — The largest Percheron shows in the United States for the last three years, have been held at the Ohio State Fair. 
3 — At the 1921 Ohio State Fair there were 203 Percherons exhibited; Iowa State Fair 85, Illinois State Fair 106, 
and International 145. At the 1919 Ohio State Fair there were 295 Percherons shown and 165 in 1920. 
A — The Grand Champion Stallion at the 1921 International, Chicago, is at the head of an Ohio Stud. This was the 
first time in the history of the International that the Grand Champion Stallion was the sire of the Reserve Cham- 
pion Stallion. 
5 — The Reserve Grand Champion Stallion at the 1921 International was owned and exhibited by an Ohio breeder 
and dealer.

than were ever exhibited before at any other exhibition in this country. 
10 — Ohio has two county Percheron breeders' associations where buyers may secure a list of animals for sale, thus 
saving much needless traveling expense. 
11 — Ohio breeders own many of the greatest sires of the breed. 
12 — Ohio is the oldest Percheron state because the first two Percheron stallions that came to this country were brought 
to Ohio in 1851. 
13 — Delaware County, Ohio, has been the banner county in the United States for a number of years, having the great- 
est number of Percheron colts recorded annually per square mile. 
14 — Percheron buyers in the East secure most of their horses in Ohio because we have a big supply from which to 
pick. Our breeders price their horses at very reasonable figures. 
We help prospective buyers by furnishing them information concerning the animals our breeders have to sell.

At the 1921 Ohio State Fair we won 1st and 2nd on 
Mares Under Three Years, Bred by Exhibitor, and 2nd 
in the Filly Futurity in a class of 
28 yearling mares — the largest Fu- 
rurity ever held in America. 
We have a select band of high-class 
brood mares. Some of these have 
won championship honors at Amer- 
ica's leading shows and others are 
prize winning daughters of the cham- 
pion stallions of the breed. 
One of the stallions bred and raised 
by us was Grand Champion at the 
Minnesota State Fair in 1920. Our 
horses make good for their new 
owners. 
We have now for sale some big, 
growthy stallions and high-class 
fillies that are especially well-bred. 
Nearly all of them are prize-winners. 
Write your wants, or, better still, come and inspect our Percherons at the farm.
