Las Vegas Walker Lovers Ask For Ideas On Horse Promotion There
Voice Readers, we need your help! Please help suggest ways Ted Vesley and Nadine Vesley, 1729 E. Charleston, Las Vegas, Nevada, can“ further promote the Tennessee Walking Horse in their part of the country.”
They operate the Ted Vesely Music Co. and Conservatory, sell guitars, pianos, organs, instruments and offer“ finest professional teaching.”
Here’ s what Nadine said in sending an order for the Biography to be given to the local library:
“ We would like to add our congratulations and thanks to you for bringing into being The Voice of
the Tennessee Walking Horse. It is WONDERFUL— and so are you and Mrs. Green.
" We are the proud and loving owners of 2 registered pleasure Walking Horses: a gelding and a beautiful mare who would make a fine broodmare. The problem is that there are no Walking Horse stallions within hundreds of miles. We are doing our best to further interest an appreciation of the breed.
" In February we opened our own business and ever)’ copy of the Voice of the Tennessee Walking Horse is displayed on the coffee table here in the store. We talk Walking Horse every chance we get. One of our big dreams is to be able to attend the National Celebration.
“ One of our local newspapers prints a Sunday column called’ Hoofbeats.’ I called the writer of this column and asked her to do an article about Walking Horses; also told her about the Voice and your book. Just a few minutes ago, since this letter was begun, some people came in the store. Somehow, the conversation got around to Walking Horses!
“ They have a friend back in their home state who has a Walking Horse which she shows, so they took your name and address to send her in case she doesn’ t already know about the magazine.
" Again, thank you so very much, Mr. and Mrs. Green, for all you have done for the marvelous Tennessee Walking Horse and all those who love him. We love you!"
( Editor ' s Note, Nadine, here you are going to get me into trouble again because 1 answer all my love letters with public love letters in return. We love you. I never thought there would come a time that a resident of Las V ega- Ncv., would ask me how to promote anything in that promoting town. So 1 am asking Voice readers to write to you with suggestions. But your letter gives nte an idea. I will prepare a mimeographed news story that will be sent to you— telling in general about the Tennessee Walking Horse and written in newspaper style. You can give this story to the Hoofbeats columnist and she will have helpful material to comment on the Tennessee Walking Horse. This service is available for any Voice reader wishing to submit information to a newspaper. Later on I will send to you some promotional material that will have the June issue Page 5 story about Mary Frances and myself on one side and a page of advertising on the reverse side. You can give that to any callers in your store who are interested. Thus we will have two ways to " biting the folks with the Walking Horse bug." Thanks much for everything. BAG & MFC.)
All Right To Lend?
Irene( Mrs. G. E.) Erickson, Rt. 7, Box 18, Union Gap, Washington, likes her Voice but " loaned it out " and hopes that is all right. Our answer is“ surely, our Lady Friend. The Voice yearns for circulation in every way, and by that we mean the Voice wants to be read either on loan or subscription. We believe we have something to say, and the more listeners the better.” BAG
Vivian And Post Buy Merry Boy Potentate
John R. Vivian of Rt. 4, Dallas, Pa., and Robert E. Post of Wilkes- Barre, Pa., are the brand new owners of Merry Boy Potentate— purchased at the Celebration from Owner-Trainer Charles Crowder of Oak Ridge, Tenn.
