The International Live Stock
Sbow opens this year under condit
ions more favorable than ever. TL e
Coliseum , a handsome new structure
built for this purpose , will be com
pleted and used for the first time.
The display of live stock is to be
so complete that it promises to ev
en excel the perfection of former
years.
Professor Herbert W. Munford
of Illinois is quoted in the following
short but pithy comment on the
International :
"It is at the International that
breeders and buyers mingle to mut
ual advantage. Tbe breeJer becomes
better informed as to approved
market types , and thus the Inter
national becomes a potent factor in
giving direction to the breeders' ef
forts toward live stock improve
ment. "
Low rates over the North-western
Line from all points west will be
announced soon.
