The New York Poultry Exchange 



Is incorporated under the laws of the State of New York, and has a capital stock of 

 • $10,000, divided into 1,000 shares of $10.00 each. 



The object of the Exchange is the association of breeders, poultry raisers, and all 

 interested in fine fowls, pigeons, etc., together into a Stock Company for the following 

 purposes : — 



1. Holding an Annual Competitite Exhibition of Thoroughbred Fowls and Poultry 

 Appurtenances in one of the exhibition buildings of New York City. 



2. Conducting Auction Sales of fancy fowls at the Exhibition, and at such other times as 

 the Board of Trustees may direct. 



3. Leasing and occupying a suitable store as the headquarters of the Exchange, and 

 . keeping on sale Fowls, Incubators, Poultry Supplies, and apparatus of all kinds pertaining to 



the poultry business. 



4. Advancing the Poultry Interests of America, disseminating Poultry Literature, improv- 

 ing shipping facilities, protecting buyers of fowls and eggs against imposition, and assisting 

 the members of the Exchange in the sale and purchase of stock. 



Everyone having the true interest of the poultry industry at heart should join the Exchange, 

 lend his support and increase the effectiveness of the organization. The privileges that mem- 

 bers secure is worth much more than the cost of joining. At Exhibitions members save 

 twenty-five per cent., of the entrance fees on birds entered for competition. In the Sales 

 Department they save the ten per cent, commission charged on all sales, whether private or at 

 auction. Members have, at all times, the privilege of placing fowls on private sale at the store, 

 the Exchange receiving commission on all sales to cover the expense of feeding, furnishing 

 coops, etc. 



The Exhibitions will be conducted so as to be not only popular succssses, but financial 

 ones as well. The Exchange is co-operative in its nature. From the profits that accrue from 

 the exhibitions and from the general business, dividends will be declared that will exceed 

 legal interest to as great an extent as possible. 



These inducements are offered in order to obtain a membership covering every State and 

 Territory in the Union. XJiat the shares be held over as large an extent of country as possi- 

 ble, for the benefit of poultry breeders wherever located, the association prefers to sell not to 

 exceed five or ten shares to any one person. Orders for one share $10, or one to ten at the 

 same rate wilT^e received. Not a share of stock will be sold for less than the par value, ten 

 dollars.
