From the Lawrence Daily World for Nov. 5, 1907: “J.T. Schwalm returned last week from Missouri with an outstanding Percheron stallion and mare and these will be added to the fine stock already on his farm south of the city. Douglas County is becoming the home of large numbers of blooded horses, hogs, cattle, sheep and goats, besides jacks, poultry and dogs. : When Byron Jones opens his doors for business at 830 Mass. next Saturday, Lawrence will have perhaps the finest meat market in the state.”
