From the Hickory Daily Record, Feb. 22, 1919
Poland China Hogs
Arrived Here Today
The carload of Poland China hogs which will be sold at
auction at the fair grounds on Wednesday arrived in the city during the night
and were taken to the grounds today to be given careful attention pending the
great auction next week. They were accompanied by tenders and nothing will be
left undone to care for them. All the animals have been treated with serum and
they are in robust health.
The sale is under the auspices of the American Poland China
Record Association and is approved by the North Carolina Experiment Station.
The idea is not to make profit but to place the big hogs in this section. It is
interesting to observe that Hickory is one of the three southern points
selected for the sale.
In addition to the Poland China sale next Wednesday, there
will be a sale of five thoroughbred Jersey cows from the herd of Mr. L.M.
Bollinger.
Full details of the Poland China sale will appear in
Monday’s Record.
