A GOOD LIVING FROM POULTRY 



The High Cost of Living can be Reduced by the Philo System 



1 600 Eggs, or 1 60 lbs. of Broilers can be produced in a corner 

 of a garden, 5x6 ft. square, or on a flat roof 



If we were to tell you that a family of six people could make a good living from six hens you would 

 hardly believe it. Results that have been accomplished by the PHILO SYSTEM in the past would .-justify 

 this statement. Such results could not be obtained from common poultry or common methods. But the 

 best birds of a NEW BREED, the NEW METHOD of the PHILO SYSTEM in caring for the fowls and the 

 new way of marketing make it possible to get even better results. 



This is not theory or guess-work; it is just what six hens have done in the past, and will do again when 

 handled according to the latest methods and discoveries made by the originator of the PHILO SYSTEM. 



At his poultry plant in Elmira, a net profit of $25,000.00 from a HALF ACRE OF POULTRY has been 

 made in twelve months where fertile eggs are produced and hatched every day in the vear. From 80 to 120 

 pounds of the very best broilers and roasters have been raised every three months in PHILO SYSTEM coops 

 only 3 to 6 feet in size. 



Come to Elmira and we will SHOW YOTJ how such, results are accomplished. Let us tell you 



HOW YOU CAN MAKE 



$1,000, $2,000 OR $5,000, OR MORE 



PER YEAR keeping poultry by the PHILO SYSTEM. This can be accomplished because there is no longer 

 any guess-work about raising, keeping or selling poultry. Everything in connection with the work has 

 been reduced to a science and any one who will follow our system can succeed. 



Others are succeeding in every state and their experience and success are fullv explained in our NEW 

 BOOK entitled "MAKING POULTRY PAY." It contains ninety-six pages of carefully written and selected 

 matter of immediate and permanent value to every poultry raiser, as well as numerous illustrations. We 

 will mail you this book for ten cents, in money or in stamps to cover postage, just to show you some facts 

 about the poultry business that you have probably never dreamed of. 



We also have a NEW PHILO SYSTEM text book three times the size of any former edition. 

 340 000 PERSONS nave already purchased copies of former editions of this text book and have 



- — - ' paid $1.00 each for every copy. The new text book tells all about how to do 



the work to secure such wonderful results. This book with descriptions of appliances, and a right to make 

 and use them, will be mailed to you postage paid for $1.00. If ordered at once we will mail the two books, 

 "MAKING POULTRY PAY" and the New Edition of the PHILO SYSTEM for only $1.00. 



THE POULTRY REVIEW This is a monthly publication edited by the originator of the PHILO 



SYSTEM and an able staff of writers made up of expert and practical 

 poultrymen. This magazine is devoted exclusively to the idea of being immediately helpful to its readers. 

 Every article is prepared and edited with this idea as a prevailing one, On Sept. 1, 1911, it had 105,251 paid- 

 in-advance subscribers and is considered more valuable to the Poultryman than all other poultry papers 

 combined. The price is only $1.00 for one year's subscription.
