Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Survey: A Review of the Past; A Glimpse at the Present; Plans for the Future; 1915-1916
The introduction into this region, in 1876, of imported Hol stein-friesian stock by the late Henry Stevens determined to a large extent the industry of the locality and the farm of Henry Stevens Son now carries 175 head of purebred cattle while nearly every farmer is the owner of some Hol stein - Friesian stock. It is conservatively estimated that the annual sales of pure blood Holsteins from the district amount to or more.
In this connection it may be mentioned that this district is the home of a Holstein advertising bureau, whose special ties - pedigrees, catalogs and public sale management, are contributing to the success of the Holstein industry through out the United States. This unique business, which affords employment for a dozen clerks and typewriter operators, is conducted by E M. Hastings of Lacona, and the large amount of printing to which it gives occasion, is handled by the Corse Press of Sandy Creek.
