Take your horse to the Fasnlon stables and have him clipped for $1.50. Phone No. 11 and they will ca<|l for him. The progressive up-to-date hotse owner always clips his horse in the spring. The decreased cost of feed, labor of grooming and the better health of clipped horses are facts no horse owner can overlook. 107-12 t o Greyhound’s Historic Lineage. The Eastern greyhound has been from time immemorial the hunting dog of the Eastern plains, and, making allowances for the artictic attainments of those early periods, we find representations of him which are almost identical with the dogs of to-day on the monuments and tombs of ancient Egypt. The expenditure of $1.50 tor clipping a horse will improve his appearance and value many fold. It works wonders in looks and health of any horse. The Fashion stables have installed an electric clipping machine and will do your work satisfactorily while you wait. 107-12 t
