AMONG ANCONAS"

Another example of this kind: W. A. Cavany, 304 Emerald St., Willard, 

 Ohio, wrote Mr. Sheppard: 



"I bought baby chicks from you last July. The pullets began laying Feb- 

 ruary 6th and have laid at a remarkable clip ever since. From the pullets 

 from the July chicks I have hatched chicks in April which began laying the 

 following August 21st. This surely proves the wonderful vitality of your 

 Famous Anconas, as well as their ability as egg producers." 



EASY TO GET A GOOD START 



Still another "foundation fact" in the upbuilding of the standard-bred 

 poultry industry consists of this: that prize-winning stock readily can be raised 

 from hatching eggs, also from baby chicks. Writing to Mr. Sheppard, Oscar 

 L. Dunlap, Junction City, Oregon (note that this is a long way from Berea, 

 Ohio), said: 



"Thinking it will be of interest to you to hear a good word concerning 

 'Famous Anconas,' I take pleasure in telling you that a cock bird hatched 

 from eggs purchased from you was placed first at the Oregon State Fair this 

 year. I also showed this bird at Eugene, Oregon, Fair, where he was placed 

 first. It pleases me further to announce that at Eugene I won first cock, 

 first and second cockerel, first and second pullet and second and third pens. 

 As soon as your new catalogue is out be sure to send me one. Prof. Hubert
