Ohio My 25 Sheppard's Anconas gave me more eggs than other farmers 

 who have from 100 to 150 hens. M.T. 



Point 2 Early Layers 



Pullets begin laying at an early age. The average seems to be between 

 four and five months. This is one of the factors that helps to make a flock 

 of Anconas unusually profitable and profit is one of the big things in the 

 poultry business. 



New York Exactly four months from the date of their birth, my Anconas 

 started laying. N.Y. 



Ohio Pullets began laying when four months and nine days old. They 

 are certainly egg machines. F.A.B. 



Point 3 Winter Layers 



Anconas are A-No. 1 winter layers just at the time when eggs are com- 

 manding highest prices. They require no concentrated or expensive foods. 



Massachusetts The middle of February found my pullets laying 76% and 

 we are having our coldest winter in 33 years. J.W.B. 



Illinois December 1st I got my first eggs, and the Anconas haven't missed 

 a day since, even last week when it was 10 below zero. 



Point 4 Small Eaters 



Anconas eat less than any other bird. This is a big point to consider, 

 especially when all feed must be purchased,"as is the case with the suburbanite, 

 and when prices are high. 



Wisconsin Are getting splendid results, 40 to 48 eggs a day from 55 hens 

 and on a minimum of feed! G.A.P. 



Ohio I want to get rid of my other chickens, for they eat about twice 

 as much as my Anconas and lay fewer'eggs. L.M.C. 



Point 5 Beauty 



Anconas are beautiful birds. A flock of them lends a sparkle to any land- 

 scape andfcatches the eye of all lovers of feathered beauty. The brilliant 

 red combs stand out beautiful against the black and white background, with 

 its lustrous greenish sheen. 



Louisiana The two pens of Anconas arrived in good condition. They 

 are beautiful, alert, and happy. D.W.R. 



Alabama Your Anconas now mine are not only beautiful, but profit- 

 able as well. As I am an artist, it is a great pleasure to have my eye pleased.
