Richmond enjoys the distinction of

being the location of the largest private stock yards in the West. The

Glen Miller stock yards, located at

twenty-first" street and - the v Pennsyl

vania tracks cover one and one-half acres of ground. The company owning the yards also owns adjoining land

which can be used to enlarge the yards.

The yards were built by Gaar and

Shurley four years ago when the stock buying business they Lad built up during twenty years became so large that yards of their own became a necessity. During the last year, live stock in the value of $450,000 passed through these yards. Hoge are the principal live stock handled, but cattle and sheep are being bought and sold in increasing numbers. The shipments of cattle have shown a marked increase during the last two years, since the farmers have commenced the use of silos for beef feeding purposes.
