Monticello Will Banquet Horse Buyers April 1st.

Monticello has conducted monthly horse sales for the past sixteen years and they have become a fixed institution the first. Tuesday >of each mbfith. Other towns and cities in this part of the state have started sales and they have flourished for a time' but most of the towns have abandoned them, but Monticello has kept right ahead, and the buyers have always been on hand on schedule time.

Appreciative businessmen in that city are going to banquet the buyers when they come in April. A spread of great excellence is being planned and these faithful horse buyers are to be guests of honor of Monticello citizens. It is the right thing to do and the buyers are certain to appreciate it, too. Of the faithful buyers The Herald says: “The first Tuesday of every month finds them in Monticello, cane in hand and check book handy, bright and early in the morning, some of them even on the outskirts of the city to meet the farmers as they come in. Their visits are as regular as clockwork, regardless of the weather. Sometimes the sellers remain away, but the buyers never. And every time they buy a horse somebody in Monticello gets some of the money, so that horse sale day has come to be recognized as a business bringer, the effect of which has been of untold benefit to the city.”
