THE DOG MART 
FROM OVER A THOUSAND DOGS OFFERED FOR HIS SELECTION, 
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES CHOSE TWO, OF 
WHICH " Island White Oshkosh” is from our kennels 
T his is a most fitting appreciation of an unusual class of dogs. 
The Island White Scotch Collies have rendered distinguished 
service all over the American Continent—as companions in the home, as 
prize winners, as Life Savers, as companions to the Forest Rangers and 
for herding sheep and cattle on the range. They are with Amundsen 
the explorer, and the Northwest Mounted Police. Wherever the 
Island White is known he is recognized and loved as a dog without 
a peer in rugged health, beauty of form and feature, adaptability, 
keen intelligence and unswerving devotion. He is “ Bob, Son of 
Battle” over again, clad in a coat of shimmering, spotless white. 
Every Island White Collie is a pedigreed thoroughbred, country 
raised, hardy, healthy, mentally and physically active. What any 
other dog can do—he will do. He will dance circles around your 
saddle horse or tramp afoot with you all day long. He will be a splendid, 
strikingly beautiful companion and defender for your daughter while 
motoring or rambling in the country; grant the staunchest friendship 
and trustworthine.ss to the lady of the house and the children; be the 
best pa! in the world for a boy in camp, or on hiking and canoe trips. 
Fle will instinctively devote his life to you and yours and ask no recom¬ 
pense but a kindly word and a pat on his adoring head. 
This grand type of dog has been developed at our kennels, by fifteen 
years of patient, scientific breeding and selection. Today he is com¬ 
plete, truly established, perfect. 
Whether you want a grown dog or a puppy, we have it. A letter 
from you detailing the particular place you wish him to fill will enable 
us to make the best individual selection in your behalf. 
Remember, we can furnish you a rela¬ 
tive of “Island White Oshkosh,” the 
White House collie. Can j ou think 
of a better Christmas gift?
