MANNS' Quality-Bred CHICKS 



FRESH, HEALTHY CHICKS 



Day-old Chicks can not be properly cared for in a show-window 

 or in a busy seed store and for this reason we do not regularly 

 carry them in stock. It is requested therefore, that you anticipate 

 your requirements and order as far in advance as possible. You 

 can in this way, specify a definite delivery date and we can serve 

 you direct from our hatchery with strong chicles full of vitality. 



ORDERS 



It is very important that you let us have your order as early 

 as possible. Just as soon as you have read this page is the very 

 best time. Should there be a decline in the market price of chicks, 

 we will make an adjustment to equal the reduction. 



Customers not having charge accounts with us are requested 

 to send at least one-fourth of the price when placing orders; re- 

 mittance for balance to reach us before shipment is made. No 

 chicks sent C.O.D. No orders accepted for less than 25 chicks 

 of any one variety. 



DELIVERIES 



Chicks are forwarded postpaid and brief instructions are sent 

 with each oraer, suggesting best methods of care and feeding. Be 

 prepared; see that hovers are in good condition, and have a ready 

 supply of grit, charcoal, and Buttermilk Starting Feed. 



Please Note — Inspect chicks immediately upon arrival. If 

 full count live chicks are not received, have postman sign a state- 

 ment showing number dead mail this to us and a satisfactory ad- 

 justment will be made. 



RHODE ISLAND REDS 



One of the best layers of the 

 heavy breeds and an excellent 

 table fowl. Somewhat rangier 

 than Plymouth Rocks but the 

 strongest competitor. A very 

 profitable breed for the farmer. 

 They are universally popular 

 however, with all poultrymen. 



WHITE ROCKS 



Differ from Barred Rocks 

 only in their plumage. Quiet 

 and easily confined. Popular 

 because of their beauty, pro- 

 ductiveness and value for mar- 

 ket purposes; they dress easily 

 having no dark pin feathers. 

 Notable layers of large brown 



Rhode Island Red 



WHITE WYANDOTTES 



One of the oldest and most 

 popular of all American breeds, 

 and ranking among the highest 

 as egg producers. They have 

 broad backs, deep round bodies, 

 arge red rose combs, yellow 

 skin, and heavy close fitting 

 plumage which enables them 

 to withstand cold weather. 

 Very striking in appearance; 

 unsurpassed for table fowl.

A choice table bird — either as broiler or roaster. They develop 

 rapidly, eight week old cockerels often weighing two pounds. 

 They are excellent winter layers, stately in appearance, with 

 long, round deep bodies, full breasts and broad backs. 



JERSEY BLACK GIANTS 



This new breed is becoming more popular every year. The 

 plumage is lustrous greenish black, skin a rich yellow, finest; 

 table fowl, extremely large and heavy; excellent layers of large 

 brown eggs, 



BLACK MINORCAS 



Noted chiefly for their very large white eggs which command 

 highest prices in the New York Market. They are hardy and 

 begin laying when four to five months of age. They have glossy 

 black plumage, large combs, black legs and white skin. 



BARRED PLYMOUTH 

 ROCKS 



First distinctively American 

 breed and still the most pop- 

 ular of the all-purpose breeds. 

 Barred Rocks are hardy and 

 vigorous; excellent winter lay- 

 ers, and also preferred by ex- 

 perienced buyers of table fowl 

 becauseof their abundant breast 

 meat and bright yellow skin. 

 Easy to raise and will thrive 

 anywhere.
