This book was published in 1920. I feel very fortunate to have found it. The book is written for exhibitors. In the chapter titled Cultivation of the Coat tells how to put the dog in grease. It also gives instructions on how to make a snood. A snood it a knit tube like a footless sock that goes over the dogs head and protects top knot and facial furnishings. I always used one with my Afghan Hound and have made one for each of my Yorkies. I never understood why Yorkie exhibitors didn't use them. Another thing I found interesting is Value Points when judging the Yorkshire Terrier.
