"A LITTLE JOURNEY 



SHEPPflRDS 'm ANCONRS 



Business is Business 



There are times when I hate to crate up a snappy pen of Anconas and part 

 with them. But Business is Business! and when my cusomers pay for the 

 best, I give it to them! 



Point 12 Unusual Prize Opportunities 



There are two thoroughly organized Ancona clubs to stimulate the ex- 

 hibition interests of Ancona breeders. This gives zest to the game and 

 there are always plenty of opportunities to win ribbons, medals, cash and 

 trophies at county, state and special fairs and exhibits. 



Sheppard's "Famous" Anconas have the champion show record by win- 

 ning three times as many first prizes as all my competitors together at the 

 world's greatest shows, including London, England, and Madison Square 

 Garden, for the past thirteen years. They have the greatest egg record 

 256 average for a flock, and world's individual record of 331. 



Ontario Pullet arrived O. K. and we trimmed the party we were after 

 in fine shape! H.L.S. 



Illinois Took first, second, and third prizes on hens at our local show.
