The title places this poster at the Inter-State Live Stock and Horse Show in South St. Joseph, Missouri, a river town whose stockyards made it a center of the regional livestock trade. Chicago's Heitmann Litho. Co. printed the sheet in 1908, and it is signed by Frank Whitney. The date and attributions come from an old caption card and have not been independently verified. Posters like this one drew farmers and horse buyers to regional shows, where they compared stock and watched the competitions that were a major part of Midwestern rural life in the early 1900s.
