Scores of Richmond's business men have never seen the Glen Miller Stock Yards, nor have they any conception of what these yards have done toward building up of their individual businesses. The fact that Shurley and Gaar have been bringing thousands of farmers to Richmond with live stock, and havepaid out hundreds of thousands annually, which has filtered into our banks and stores, is a vital fact that many have, seemingly, never discovered. There are not so many million - dollar - a - year businesses in Richmond, and any one interested is always welcome at our yards.

Shurley and Gaar paid a million dollars to stock raisers in 1919. You are offered the best service in marketing and shipping your stock. More than $100,000 is paid out every month. Every farmer is invited to inspect our yards and avail himself of the privileges and opportunities we offer.
IS AN IDEAL PLANT Not in the spirit of boasting, but as a statement of the simple truth, be it said that Richmond has a model stock yards plant. Live stock buyers from all sections, railroad men who have traveled widely, and government inspectors familiar with every phase of the stock yaids business have assured us that this is true. The live stock is protected from the cold in winter, and shaded in cool, airy pens in summer. There is ample capacity under roof for this protection, at all seasons, and every facility for humane care and handling.
We are told that no city between Minneapolis and New York, or between Kansas City and Louisville, is better prepared to handle live stock to capacity than is Richmond, whether as to local buying or for feeding in transit, of which the Pennsylvania does a lot at this point. The interiors of the buildings are well lighted and have perfect ventilation in hot weather. There are numerous outdoor pens, well arranged for feeding and shipping, all supplied with running water.
As an eastern stock buyer remarked when in town: "The stock raisers in this section may well be congratulated on the market facilities Richmond affords them. The fact that business at Gleri Miller has shown consistent expansion and that Shurley and Gaar have broadened their field of usefulness from year to year is the best promise of the future. This plant has grown and prospered because it deserved to. There can be no other explanation for its increasing popularity with farmers and shippers, or of its financial solidity.
Note This Record of Livestock Receipts for 1919
RECEIPTS OF HOGS Throe hundred and ten cars of hogs were shipped during the year. Total 21,663
RECEIPTS OF CATTLE 62 cars of cattle were shipped from Glen Miller in 1919. Total 1,240
RECEIPTS.OF SHEEP 9 Eighteen cars of sheep and lambs were shipped during the year. Total 1,812
RECEIPTS OF CALVES 27 carloads of calves were shipped from Glen Miller during 1919. Total 2,731
These Records Will Be Surpassed This Year To market the 417 carloads of live stock shipped in 1919 we paid out $37,530. This covered freight, feeding in transit and at destination, and commissions. In addition to above cost, the ''shrink" was an important item. Estimating the shrink on 21,663 hogs at 6 pounds per head, and
our average cost at 15 cents per pound last year, we find that this item totals $19,470. Grand total, $57,000.

Above statement proves that we had to sell at an advance of $57,000 above our cost at our yard before we could break even, and this not include shrink on cattle, calves and sheep. You can do your business with us with both pleasure and profit.
You can get a square deal, liberal grading, the top of the day's market, and spot-cash at Glen Miller Stock Yards. Why take risks? Our customers have proven that they can do better at home.
Rome Shurley and Clem Gaar Proprietors of the Glen Miller Stock Yards invite every farmer who attends the Centerville Hog Show to inspect these yards at any time and to learn all about our service and advantages. We heartily congratulate all the boys and girls who showed such splendid interest in the boys' and girls' pig club.
