HEAVY HORSE BUYING
Growing Interest in the
Horse Market
Alliance
As showing .the increasing interest
in the Alliance horse market and the
growth of the business, we clip an
item from last week's issue of the
Scottabluff Republican. In mention
ing the names of the firm of Wilson
Ijewis & Wright, otherwise known
as the Wright Commission Company,
the Republican omits the name o f
Edgar W. Wilson of Alliance. Fol
lowing is the article referred to:
Heavy Horse Buying
From the above caption it must
not be inferred tint the firm m e n-
teoned below deal only in heavy hor
ses, but they do a heavy business in
their line of work.
During the past month they have
bought a hundred head of horses in
this and Manner counties and will
take them to Alliance, on tl 29th
and IJOth of the present month, where
they will be offered at public auc
tion, in connection with the large
saW where it -is expected that, a
thousand horses will be sold.
1 hia firm of Wilson, Lewis &
Wright is made up of L. K. Lewis of
the firm of Wilcox & Company and
Havel L. Wright, well known as the
leading auctioneer and life insurance
man of the city. Thco men have
been paying good prices and the
farmers are well pleaded with the
treatment received from them.
From the flrs-t suggest ion thai was
m. le relative to the making of .Mil
an e a norse market, I lie Herald
hoi sted for it, and of course we are
greatly pleased with the success of
the enterprise so far and the pros
pects for the future. This paper has
already pointed out the advantages
this city has for this particular busi
ness. We wish to mention some of
these points again and add a sugges
tion or two that may be helpful.
A few things that are necessary
to a successful horse market are a
sufficient number of horses to sell,
purchasers for the same, and ship
ping facilities. Alliance is splendidly
located for this business on account
of her excellent shipping facilities
and the large number of good hors
es raised in the surrounding territory.
We are confident that a better
class of horse flesh is found in this
locality than in most. .parts of the
west. For some years past, breeders
in northwestern Nebraka have made
extensive use of imported and native
thoroughbred stallions and good na
tive mares. This is also true of
some other parts of the west., but,
we believe that in this territory the
grade is far above the average.
Notwithstanding shipping facilities
m
now p
if nom
belngpd
of this
and good horses, for sale, the mar
ket proposition would still be a failure
if buyers were not preseni in suffi
cient numbers, and here la when
the enterprising horsemen who are
pushing the Alliance horse market
have don.' splendid work. The ll
number of buyers present from many
different states at the sales held the
last week in June was due to the
energetic and well directed efforts
of the! men in charge. The prospect
that there wMl be as many.
ore, buyers at the sales now
vertlsed for the butter part
month. There is also a pros
per that there will be a splendid of
ferine of horses, averaging better
than K. the first sale.
In wis connection we wish to call
the attention of horse breeders of
the surrounding country to the im
portance of bringing In what they
have to sell. With the work that
has already been done In establishing
this market, the question of success
now items to rest upon the it ores
raissqp, If they bring In their hors
es in sufficient numbers, uud we be
lieve tliey will, the Alliance horse
market will continue to be a success
and prove a great convenience for
both buyers and sellers.
