Aberdeen-Angus steer, Advance, 72 miles to Chicago, to the first International Live Stock Exposition. Advance won the title of Grand Champion Steer. As this year's gaily bedecked, heavily disinfected show opened last week in the brick-&-cement International Amphitheatre at Chicago's Union Stock Yards, Farmer Pierce was again on hand.
