TOMPKINS' R. I. REDS WIN SILVER 

 CUP FOR BEST DISPLAY OF HIGHEST 

 UNIFORMITY IN TYPE AND COLOR 



1 



iiiiiiiiiiiiiii 



IF YOU are looking for the best possible strain 

 of Rhode IslandReds, either forutilitypurposes, 

 or for prize winning prospects, this award made 

 to us at the recent Madison Square Show at New 

 York, ought go a long way toward making you 

 decide to buy my Reds. 



It's easy enough to produce an occasional high 

 class prize winning bird, but to continue year 

 after year to keep up the high standard and for 

 io years carry off leading winnings — that is the 

 real test of a strain's superiority and actual reli- 



ability. That's Tompkins' record. Besides the 

 Silver Cup, we won Special Display for best 

 string of R. I. Reds in all that big show, not to 

 mention ist, 2nd and 3rd prize on Cocks. 



Utility stock of such a strain make a flock that 

 can't be beaten for vigor, laying qualities and 

 marketableness. 



It's a generally understood fact that R. I. Reds 

 are to-day the best all around bird. Quick grow- 

 ers, continuous layers, light boned and heavy 

 meated.
