WHY JOIN THE AMERICAN POULTRY ASSOCIATION. 



(E. C. Brancli, Lees Summit, Mo.) 



Because it is the most influential, largest and strongest poultry 



association on the American con- 

 tinent and the greatest live stock 

 organization in the world. 



Because, as a member, you 

 can compete for valuable silver 

 medals and the $20 gold medals 

 which are offered at each branch 

 show. These are for members 

 only. The winning of one will 

 pay for a life membership. In ad- 

 dition you can compete for the 

 beautifully engraved three-color 

 special diplomas offered at all 

 shows that are members of the 

 A. P. A for A. P. A members only. 

 Because, by becoming a mem- 

 ber your name is announced not 

 only through the bulletin but throughout the poultry press, thus 

 placing your name permanently before hundreds of thousands of 

 poultry breeders. 



Because, through its committees, the association is working 

 for better express services, lower express rates and adjusting ex- 

 press questions. A special committee will help you secure satis- 

 faction from the express companies. 



Because you wish to vote on all questions, the decision of 

 which practically governs the pure-bred poultry industry. 



Because you want to identify yourself with the leading poultry 

 breeders of the United States and Canada, and want to be recog- 

 nized as a wide-awake, successful poultry breeder. 



Because it is only through a strong organization in the Uuited 

 States that this industry will receive its just support from the 

 national and state governments,
