OWNED BY 
INTERNATIONAL STOCK FOOD CO. 
And fed every day on International Stock Food 
It is with great pleasure that we are able to announce to our customers this season that we 
have secured the agency for California and Arizona, for the world-famed International 
Poultry and Stock Foods and Remedies. T + 
To give our customers some idea of the vast amount of business transacted by the interna¬ 
tional Stock Food Co., we can inform them that they employ an office force of nearly 2o0 people, 
and have a corps of 150 typewriters on one floor. 
In addition, the International Stock Food Co. owns an immense stock farm of < 50 acres, Known 
as the International Stock Food Farm, where can be seen some of the finest horses in the world, 
including Dan Patch 1:55, Cresceus 2:02%, Directum 2:05%, Roy Wilkes 2:06%, Anon 
2:07%, and many others, all world champions and owned by the International Stock Food Co. Ihese 
horses are all fed International Stock Food every day. 
International Stock Foods and Remedies are goods that have proven their value, and ar ^ 
endorsed by many of the leading chemists and veterinary doctors of the world. Reason it out 
yourself. If the International Stock Foods and Remedies were not the very best manufactured, 
it would be the height of folly to use them in connection with such valuable horses as 
mentioned. _ ^ _ 
Mr. M. W. Savage, proprietor of the International Stock Food Co., was offered and refused, 
the enormous sum of $180,000 for Dan Patch alone.

Spot Cash Guarantee. Money refunded by the factory if they do not do all that is claimed 
for them. Read their guarantee printed on every package. 
HOW INTERNATIONAL FOOD HELPED DAN 
Dan Patch has established nine world’s records since his purchase by Mr. Savage, which 
speaks volumes for the merits of International Stock Food. Mr. Savage purchased Dan Patch 
December 8, 1902, for $60,000, his best record up to that time being 1:59%. Following are his 
performances up to date, demonstrating, beyond the shadow of a doubt, the value of International 
Stock Food when fed to racing stock: Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 29, 1903, paced a mile in 1:56%; 
Memphis, Oct. 26, paced a mile in 1:56; Lexington, Ky., Oct. 7, 1905, paced a mile in 1:55%; Hamlme 
Minn., Sept. 8, 1906, paced a mile in 1:55. The first quarter of last mile at Hamline was paced 
in .28%; the half in .57; the three-quarters in 1.26%. His quarters were paced in this trial as 
follows: First quarter, 28%; second quarter, 28%; third quarter, 29%; fourth quarter, 28%.
