In 1901, Dr. W. C. Bailey secured four of the best Angoras obtainable in
Asia Minor, by personal selection, and added them to the Bailey flocks.
This was the first importation made in America from Asia Minor for
twenty-five years.
During all these years, since 1865, Mr. Bailey had been constantly at
work with his Angora flocks. There were many hardships to overcome, and
most of the original Angora breeders gave up the struggle. We honestly
believe that if it had not been for his perseverance the Angora industry
would not be in its present prosperous condition.
Register.
We have been keeping a register of our stock, and this register is the
oldest in the United States, or the world. Animals registered in the
Bailey Angora Goat Record have a universal standing.
Manufacturers of Gloves, Robes and Trimmings.
The Angora Robe and Glove Company was established in 1875, with C. P.
Bailey as president. Later Mr. Bailey secured sole control of this
company. We have been using goat skins and mohair in large quantities
for the last thirty years, and to-day
WE PAY THE HIGHEST CASH PRICES FOR GOAT SKINS AND MOHAIR.
Buck Selections.
From the above history it will be seen that we have several different
strains of bucks to offer, and the fact that we have taken the Grand
Prizes and highest awards at the New Orleans World's Fair, 1885, Chicago
World's Fair, 1893, St. Louis World's Fair, 1904, and sweep stakes at
State Fairs and National Meetings for the last thirty years, should put
these bucks on the top. We have sold thousands in United States, and
they have given almost universal satisfaction.
Does.
Our thoroughbred does trace their ancestry to the best stock obtainable.
We always have a good many grade Angora does on the range, and we are
prepared to quote prices on carloads, or small lots. We gladly furnish
information.

[Illustration: PERSIAN FAT TAIL SHEEP
In 1892, we received the first importation of Persian Fat-Tailed Sheep.
They are very hardy, rapid growers (the lambs often gaining a pound a
day for the first one hundred days,) good rangers almost free from
disease, and to cross onto fine wooled sheep for mutton and wool, we
consider them of much value.]
