There is no doubt that the fame and good name of Chester Whites has suffered 
considerably by the shipments of certain unprincipled dealers; men, such as will be 
found in every business, who would buy up worthless mongrels, whose only pretense 
to the genuine was their white color and perhaps looped ears, and palm them off for 
the ‘* Genuine Chester Whites.’”’ There are as poor hogs in Chester County as any- 
where in America, and we have sol the pure stock of Chester Whites in this very 
county at FANCY PRICES. We have shipped our pigs to almost every State in the 
Union, and everywhere they prove the very best sort of an advertisement, procuring 
for our firm numbers of new customers. We have no superior, if any equal, in our 
shipments of this profitable breed.
