"A LITTLE JOURNEY 



and then, can't you in some way, put these students of the Ancona book 

 into the atmosphere so that they will picture the all important 'Little Journey' 

 the journey from home to poultry house the journey which terminates in 

 finding of large, white eggs or in the failure to find them. 



"If you could make these students realize that the little journey to the 

 Ancona poultry house is always successful even if made in the dead of 

 bitter cold winter in the blustery New England winters of Maine or Canada 

 and if you could carry the students of this book from one Show to another, 

 sweeping before them glances and comments of admiration, capturing worth- 

 while prizes if you could paint a composite picture of the superior results 

 secured from raising Anconas, then I should call this manuscript complete!" 



I have set this down just about as my friend gave it to me, because it seems 

 as though he had the true Ancona breeders' enthusiastic view-point. Accept 

 every word of his discussion as gospel truth which it is. 





Ancona breeders are invited to 

 join the International Ancona Club. 

 Membership and annual dues 31.00 

 per year.
