Professional Opinion
( Continued from Page 1 ) From Dr . Kenneth McFarland “ Dear Mr . Green . " I want to commend you on your new magazine . I feel it is indeed an asset to the breed .
“ You will probably be both interested and amused by the enclosed ads in the Sunday Kansas City Star of April 8 , We have said ‘ we should make ourselves easy to buy from .' The people in Lhis ad may be over-doing it with their ‘ 3 dollars down and 3 dollars a week plan .’ Cordially , Kenneth McFarland , McFarland Farms , 4401 West Tenth St ., Topeka , Kan .”
( Note-Many thanks . Dr . McFarland . You have been the inspiration of a major phase in the magazine — our push to put Pleasure Colts in the Suburban Pleasure Horse Market . We plan to keep that up until something gives . You are a “ Great American ” in our eyes . Thanks for the newspaper ads . 1 notice they offer 30 days " free trial " on horses as well as the S3 down rate . Also see Tennessee Walkers not mentioned . BAG )
Beautifully Put Together " Dear Ben : " Please accept my sincere congratulations on the first issue of the Voice of the Tennessee Walking Horse .
" It is beautifully put together , and the articles are very interesting . I hope this will be the first of many , many issues of this magazine on the Walking Horse , and I am delighted that we have the first issue for the

From Bert And Helen
" Mr . Ben A . Green , Publisher-Editor , also Mrs . Ben A . Green , Secretary . Congratulations . It ' s a practical , pleasing and potent breed publication . Enclosed is check for $ 4.00 . Bert and Helen Roush , Hopewell Farms , Rt . I , Manchester , Ohio ."
( Note — Helen is a columnist for the National Horseman magazine . One time she devoted half a magazine page to a letter from me telling how I tried to give away a Palomino Tennessee Walking Horse to the 1959 National Commander of the American Legion at the Miami Beach convention . That trip and that stunt have resulted in two prominent Tennessee Walking Horse breeders buying and moving to fine farms in our home Bedford County . Never can tell what can be done when you rent a horse , take him across a slate for a -1-mile Legion Parade and let your hometown Legion Post commander ride him . BAG .)
From Win Pendleton " Dear Ben : Thanks for sending me a sample copy of your new publication . I just wanted to add my congratulations to the hundreds that I know you are receiving . This is a fine piece of work — professional and high class all the way . Sure wish you a lot of luck in putting it over . Sincerely , WIN . Winston K . Pendleton , 2541 Military Road , Arlington 7 , Virginia ."
( Note : Win Pendleton is a prominent , retired newspaperman , a terrific after-dinner speaker we heard at a Rotary Ladies ' Night supper . He is known in the U . S-A . as a speaker who " lays them in the aisles ” with his witticisms and lifts them up with his challenging patriotism . Few come like him . That ’ s what we said in a newspaper a few hours after hearing him . BAG .)
