This advertisement of A.E. Blommaert of Yorkton in The Nor’-West Farmer, December 6, 1920 states:
This cut of one of my best mares gives you an idea of what I am aiming at in Belgian Type, Quality, Conformation, and Character. In buying I have only chosen the best, ever keeping in mind this great ideal. From the great Pioneer Stock Farm I secured such famous champions and prize winners as Armilla Queen, a mare with a show ring record unequalled in Canada; Beauty de Comet, a consistent winner of firsts and championship throughout her life; Lily de Comet, another great champion mare, grand champion at Des Moines, Iowa, and Minneapolis as a 4-year old; Farceur Quet by Farceur, a 3-year old stallion, third prize yearling at the International; Master, a beautiful moving quality two year old stallion, reserve champion, Saskatoon Winter Fair, 1920. Visitors always welcome. Correspondence promptly answered. Assistance gladly rendered. (Beauty de Comet in photo) The Nor’-West Farmer was published in Winnipeg 1892 until 1933.
