Early Herds
One of _the potable 'early
herds in, the county was that of
Bisset,Bros. at Goderich. This
was- a large herd and many
outstanding individuals were
bred there, including a cow'that
later was Grand Champion at
Michigan State Fair at Detroit.
It is interesting to nete•that the
first 3icnic sponsor -ed by the
clul) was held at Bisset Bros.'
farm in 1940`with J. J. E. Me-
Cague, owner of, the famous

been held the nr.evious Fall

Ontario Minister of
the ,speaker.
Cows classified • "Excellent"

and far between in the Holstein
breed -only about 40 Out of the
30,000 animals classified an-
nually in Canada achieving this -
rating. . These are . the true
"glamour girIV." of the breed.

For years I have' used Chevrolet. trucks for my city and
countrydeliveries. 1 haVe always had really good
'service from them, with very little trbuble'. I
recently traded a 1954, cab -over -engine model which had
cost only $200,00 in repairs sine new': A 1957
truck which I bought new, is still running well' with.
orig 11 parts throughout. From engine to rear axle,
every . -ng is original.
This ki,nd of long service has Convinced me thdt I. buy
the right trucks when I buy Chevrolet. Gas mileage, is
better than on. any other make of truck I have owned,
and my drivers tell me that there's lots of power
there for their heaviest loads.
A multi -stop operation such as mine is hard on all
parts of a truck bit from mrp,reViotis experience. I . •
knew my new Chevrolets will stand up to the job.
