B. L. & A. Bellinger, Weyauweg*, Wis.: We like Anconat better every year; they are 

 the best all 'round layers we ever had, and we get more eggs in the winter than any of our 

 neighbors that have other breeds. 



G. G. Schueller, Walla Walla, Washington: I tried six other breeds before I settled on 

 Anconas. Anconas are the money makers. From February I to June I, I cleared $5,65 on 

 each Ancona I had in my four breeding pens. 



J. W. Frost, Portville, N. Y.: I have bred Anconas for ten years, and discarded sev- 

 eral other breeds for them, as no other equal them for eggs. 



Chas. W. Craig, Pocahontas, Illinois: I have bred Langsbans, Rocks, Leghorns and 

 Reds, but Anconas beat them all. No other fowls equal Anconas. 



C. S. Cole, Sullivan, O.: I think Anconas are wonders. Both last year and this I had 

 pullets laying at sixteen weeks old. Anconas are the greatest egg machines I ever saw. 



H. U. King, Urbana, Ohio: Anconas are the best fowls bred in America. 



Howard R. Conover, Titusville, Pa.: It doesn't take an Ancona pullet long to pay for 

 herself. I have had all kinds of chickens but never any that can compare with Anconas. 

 For eggs and beauty Anconas have other breeds stopped. 



Mrs. J. F. Mc Murray, Van Buren, Ohio: Anconas are the greatest layers I ever 

 owned; and I have had White and Barred Rocks, Reds and Houdans. My April hatched 

 pullets weighed four pounds in November, and were laying at four and one-half months 

 old, with no beef scrap nor forcing. 



John J. Nostrand, Farmingdale, N. Y.: I have bred a great many varieties of fowls, 

 and Anconas excell all others. 



Samuel Void, Cressman, Pa.: I have bred Anconas since 1907, and find them to be my 

 ideal breed. In March I had a pen of nine pullets lay 201 eggs, which is going some for a 

 winter month. 



Frank W. Laird, Hewitt, N. J.: I am so well pleased with Anconas that I am raising 

 no others, though I have been interested in White Leghorns for years. Anccnas will lay 

 more eggs, eat less feed, are hardier, stand confinement better, and raise a larger per cent, 

 of chicks than any other breed. 



A. F. Rhode!, Kansas City, Kan.; In ten years I tried seven varieties, and Anconas 

 laid the best of all. Anconas lay the most eggs when prices are high. 



W.W. Carson, Tazewell, Va.: I have tried most of the important breeds and find 

 Anconas by far the most satisfactory. They eat less feed and lay more eggs than other 

 breeds, and are the healthiest fowls I have ever seen. They are unsurpassed as a table 

 fowL My Anconas are very tame. 



Mrs. Jay E. Miller, Tuscaloosa, Ala.: We never before saw such layers as the Anconas. 

 They are truly egg machines, and have no superiors. 



Mrs. Adaline R. Gosler, Matfield Green, Kan.: During December, January and Feb- 

 ruary I got more eggs from eighteen Ancona pullets than from fifty Plymouth Rocks, so I 

 am quite naturally in favor of Anconas. 



H. L. Finch, South Norwalk, Conn.: I have found that Anconas excel other breeds 



for eggs, beauty and hardiness. 



C. A. Burdick, Albany, Ind.: I recognize the fact that Anconas are the best egg pro- 

 dncers in existence, and the most profitable poultry to breed. 



A. C. Ilten, Cedar Rapids, Iowa: The Ancona stands above all others as the "egg 

 breed," and also as a winter layer. 



Mrs. W.J. Welborn, Flour Bluff, Texas: I have some Ancona pullets laying that are 

 less than four months old. I am highly pleased with the breed.
