"COPPER KING V" 



I Headed by Copper King V, the bird that headed Bird Bros. 

 1. flock No. 1, during 1919. Bird Bros, say of Copper King V: 

 "From the days of the Sensational 'Copper King', we have been improving 

 his progeny from time to time, until today we have reached this great 

 masterpiece 'Copper King V, whom we consider the peer of our produc- 

 tion since the origin of our 'Goldbank' strain, and the guiding star in the 

 Bronze Turkey world today. 



"Beside the long line of winnings 'Copper King V has credited to him, 

 this bird has the additional honor of taking FIRST AND SPECIAL 

 PRIZE AT THE NATIONAL BRONZE TURKEY CLUB SHOW AT 

 MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, JANUARY, 1919. 



"This yearling torn is a good-framed, vigorous 38-pounder in breeding 

 condition, and is superb in shape and plumage. His wing barring and tail 

 penciling are good. He has good white edging everywhere. His entire 

 back, body and coverts are a shining mass of the most brilliant copper 

 bronze. He has not a trace of gray at the base of the tail." 



(Notice in the photograph the penciling, good bands of black, broad 

 bands of bronze on the end of the tail, w T hite on the end of the tail, and 

 ESPECIALLY the spots of bronze on the greater tail coverts these spots 

 put this bird a step ahead of the standard.) 



Since the above was written, this bird has improved in appearance. 

 He was entered by Bird Bros, in the National Bronze Turkey show at 

 Chicago, January, 1920, as a torn, where he again took 1st prize. 



Bird Bros, state that after the National Bronze Turkey Show at Chi- 

 cago and the Madison Square Garden Show, New York, January, 1920, this 

 torn produced the best cockerels and pullets they had ever raised. 



The birds this torn is mated to are all select hens, weighing above 20 

 pounds, and some exceptionally fine pullets, all of which have taken rib- 

 bons at various shows. They are not only good birds themselves but have 

 a long line of ancestors which were prize winners at Chicago, Madison 

 Square Garden, and other well-known poultry shows. 



Eggs, $3-00 each.
