National Association for the Improvement of the Appearance of Hogs

I suspect the National Association for the Improvement of the Appearance of Hogs had only one member.

Legislators gathering here for the opening of the 19th session Tuesday have received word that a representative of the National Association for the Improvement of the Appearance of Hogs will seek to advise them during the session. In all apparent seriousness the writer urges that the appearance of swine should be uniform and artistic, not only that they might be less offensive to the eye but that the bristles might have a better sale.
