Illinois, Arkansas Discoveries
Read about Two Great Discoveries made by the Voice Editor within the last-IS hours. Letters tell us there is a Riding Club in Benton County, Arkansas, with 275 PAID MEMBER SHIPS and a Farmers Club in Chicago with 600 GENTLEMEN FARM ER MEMBERS.
We intend to MAKE CLOSE CON TACT with these two groups. There must be a lot of Tennessee Walking Horse Lovers in these“ crowds”. 11 they do not already love the Tennessee Walking Horse the members have " potentials.”
Read what Dr. Cal D. Gunter reports from Siloant Springs. He’ s associated in a Medical Center with Dr. James D. Huskins and Dr. Billy ]. Puckett at 304 S. Maxwell, Siloam Springs. That’ s a town of 3,827 pop.( 1950) almost on the Oklahoma line and just 26 miles from the Missouri line. Dr. Gunter tells us:
” 1 have enjoyed the Voice immensely— also the Biography. I would like 3 copies of the Training Book. Enclosed find check for SI. 5.
THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR EXPERIENCE MORE THAN THIRTY YEARS I HAVE PROMOTED, SUPPLIED AND SERVICED THE BEST INSURANCE FOR SHOW HORSES AND REGISTERED LIVESTOCK AVAILABLE REST AT EASE WHEN YOU INSURE THE " RICHARD WAY "
SEE, CALL OR WRITE C. C. RICHARD FU 9-6123 WARTRACE, TENN.
" Interest in the Tennessee Walking I lorse in our area is picking up in the past few years. Our riding club is very active. Has 275 Paid Memberships.
“ Most ride easily gaited horses although not many are registered Walking Horses. They are that stock as I recently read that in 1850 there were 902 families in Benton County, Arkansas, and 595 had come here from Tennessee.
“ Of course they came here riding horses from Tennessee and their easy gaits have been transmitted down through the generations....”
( Editor’ s Note— Fine letter. Doctor, Imagine ihose 595 families paused for a week to drink from your springs en route to Texas- Oklahoma liked the water and stayed put. Nashville, Ark. was also settled. by Tennessee folks from Flat Creek, seven miles from Shelbyville.)
Our oilier discovery comes by letter from a lawyer friend, Robert E. Owens, 1 North La Salle Street, Chicago 2, 111. We published a letter from him in the May issue. It provoked us into starting the Stud Registry that is gaining in popularity. Mr. Owens tells us lie is really on the“ shady side of 60“ with a birthday in September.( Our own is Sept. 5.)
“ I belong to the Chicago Farmers Clubs, 140 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois,” lie writes again.
“ We have a membership in excess of 600 men and women who own and operate farms in various states, but who live in and about Chicago, in other words‘ gentlemen Farmers’. Many I know are interested in and own riding horses.
" If it’ s consistent with your policy, I wish you would mail a copy to the above address and send me the bill for I know that you will receive mention in their monthly publication....”
( Editor’ s Note— Mr. Owens, we sent the Farmers Club Library all three issues of the Voice to date at no expense to anybody but Mary Frances’ stamp account. Such friends as your Farmers are worth“ cultivating” and we intend to do exactly that. We appreciate your clipping of the Chicago American— showing a feature about the Tennessee Walking Horse, Martini,“ nosing” into the Milton Hamilton sitting room where Mrs. Hamilton is drinking coffee. Notice the cutlines ask if Martini is looking for a lump or two of sugar. Of course most Walking Horsefolks know sugar lumps are bad for horses because they give the horse the habh of“ doing naughty things” to get sugar— just like a child will“ be a spoiled brat” just to get candy. Read that Mr. Hamilton prefers golf but with six horses in the stable and two more in training lie; definitely out numbered. BAG.)
