Catalogue of Hereford Cattle To Be Sold at Combination Sale Barn, Paris, Illinois, at Public Auction, Thursday, November 9, 1899, at 1 O’Clock P.M.
Scrap journal of a Hereford Cattle sale in Illinois. Includes lot descriptions pasted on each page. Looks like the winner was recorded and then the page ripped in half, perhaps to record that it had been completed. 49 lots included. Also includes newspaper clippings and hand written note that authorizes someone to bid on cattle.
Newspaper clipping describes the auction as “the greatest sale of pure-bred cattle of any breed, since the boom prices of the Duchess Shorthorns in the early ‘70s was consummated yesterday in the Dexter Park amphitheater”. Satisfaction guaranteed or you can send it back!
