TO THE
Horse Owners
"You know, here at Robenolt's
Shop, we always fit the shoe be
fore we nail it to the foot.
'l)ld you know or ever think
of the fact that there is really nn
essential difference between a
blacksinith and a horseshoer?
"The blacksmith works on iron,
an iiiamlnttte object, and while
the horseshoer is preparing the
shoe, he, too, is 'blucksmi thing.'
"Hut the shoer also works on
the hoof, which is a living, feel
ing organism. Now, if the black
smith mukes a mistake lie has
simply spoiled a piece of Iron,
but, if a slioer pare a hoof too
thin, if he fits a shoe lmprnerly
or drives a nail too close, he has
either inconvenienced, or lamed,
or perhaps, ruined a horse.
"Now what do you pay for?
Is it blacksmlthlng or horse
shoeing? "If it's horseshoeing spend
your money at
