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 .)
