p/-- — 1 Hereford Cattle I | FOR SALE J N ACCOUNT OF SETTLING UP .THE ESTATE, I ■ 11 will offer at Private sale, any, or all of the Fine Herd of g Hereford Cattle, so well known as the Naber-Lea Herd. ■ ■ Every animal will be priced, from the imported cows, down to male ■ calves, at prices that will dispose of the herd in thirty days. g g Here is a rare opportunity of getting a start in full-blooded, reg- ■ ■ istered cattle, at low prices. ® ■ Read the Chicago papers, and see how often Hereford steers top S g the market, around six cents, while the great bulk of cattle sell at g ■ about four and a half cents. ■ These steers are sired by Hereford bulls. There is a great de- ■ g mand for these bulls by farmers who want to improve their calves. || Somebody must raise full-blooded bulls. Why not you? You can g g sell a 12-months-old bull calf for as much as a 3-year-old steer would S fl bring. Why not save two years of feed and care ? Start your son fl ■ out with a few cows, and you will be surprised how soon the herd ■ g will be worth $5,000. 4 Come and spend a day and night with me and take your g fl time to it. This is better than buying at a combination sale. fl g If you have idle money, and some shed room, be sure to winter g J some of these cattle. Plenty of time given on good notes. ■ B TKS?' I will meet you at TREATY 6 miles south of WABASH, fl INDIANA, on BIG FOL 7 R R’Y, if you will let me know. g g I ’ 1 J C. M. INABER, Executor. ■ fl Rural Route No. 4, Wabash, Indiana. K cK__ ■ ' /O
