The Breeders Sales Company executives anticipate another outstanding auction which undoubtedly will parallel that of 1947. Several improvements have been completed for the 1948 sale, including the construction of two new barns and added communication facilities, several additional long distance telephones have been installed near the salesring. Chartered planes will handle a part of the transportation problem for New York and Chicago sectors. George B.
