UNITED ANCONA CLUB if 



I v 



T HE FIRST Ancona club in the United States was organized March 1, 

 ' 1905, and was called the "American Ancona Club." It was a small 

 affair as there were few Ancona breeders in America at that time. This 

 club was the opening wedge that started Aucouas on the road to promi- 

 nence in America, and much credit is due those pioneers who even then 

 realized the necessity for co-operation if success would be theirs in breed- 

 ing Anconas for profit. 



Later this club was changed to the "Ancona Club of America," and 

 so continued until January 1915, when it was officially consolidated with 

 "The Ancona Club" (an Ancona organization created in 1912.) The 

 consolidated organization chose the name "United Ancona Club," and it 

 is a most fitting term as the Ancona fraternity is united in a large and 

 strong association that is doing a great work in advancing Ancona inter- 

 ests. Special prizes are given Ancona breeders on winnings at any poul- 

 try' show, which encourages exhibition. Ancona boosting literature is 

 published and « idely distributed, which creates new Ancona breeders and 

 increases the demand for stock and eggs. Advertisements are also carried 

 in several leading poultry magazines, extolling the merits of Ancona fowls. 



The list of members is published, special concessions are secured from 

 representative poultry shows, and an annual Year Book on Anconas sent 

 out. Every Club member receives each month the "Ancona World" 

 magazine, which is the official organ of the Club. 



And all of this is done for the small membership fee of $1 per year! 

 Every Ancona breeder in America should have their name listed in the 

 Year Book of the United Ancona Club. It is worth while.
