A Good Living from 
The High Cost of Living can be Reduced by the PHILO SYSTEM 
1600 Eggs, or 160 lbs. of Broilers can be produced in 
a corner of a garden, 5x6 feet square 
If we were to tell you that a family of six people could make a good living from six hens you would hardly be- 
lieve 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 market- 
ing 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 year. 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 YOU 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 fully 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. 
360 000 PERSONS have already purchased copies of former editions of the 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 orignator 
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. 14, 1911, 
it had a sworn to, paid-in-advance, guaranteed circulation of 110,000 copies 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.
