RUNNYMEDE COLONY IDEALS 



Colonies are as old as history. England established colonies all 

 over the world. The United States started from thirteen colonies. 

 Religious organizations have established colonies, as the Puritans, 

 Quakers, Shakers, Mennonites, Mormons, etc. 



Authors, writers, men of letters, artists, musicians, etc., have each 

 attempted colonies, as in example, Brookside Farm. 



Colonies of "Little Landers" have been attempted by theorists, 

 dreamers, impractical men, in poor soil, without irrigation. Each 

 generation has its Utopian dreams. 



Runnymede is a living, breathing, palpitating, organized co-opera- 

 tive community of intellectual American people, earning an honest 

 living by intensive production on small acreage. 



Runnymede is pointing the way to a higher independence for all 

 people by intensive production in a practical, common-sense way. It 

 does not promise great wealth in money but it does give more than 

 money can buy in health of body, peace of mind, social environment, 

 independence. 



The world is invited to visit Runnymede, the Charles Weeks 

 Poultry Colony, and see what wonderful results have been accom- 

 plished along the lines of intensive production in poultry, rabbits, 

 gardening and co-operation, and a personal invitation is extended to 

 all interested in intensive production on small acreage to visit Weeks' 

 Poultry Ranch, the most intensive poultry farm today, and see w r hat 

 fifteen years' experience have accomplished along the lines of an 

 abundant living on very little land, and to have a personal talk with 

 Charles Weeks, the promoter and organizer of RUNNYMEDE 

 POULTRY FARMS, INCORPORATED.
