CYPHERS INCUBATOR COMPANY 
The First in the World 
to build Incubators and Brooders that meet the requirements of the associated fire insurance interests, 
and is the first company in the history of the poultry business to be granted labels by the fire underwriters, 
covering inspected and approved incubators and brooders that have satisfactorily stood the test and 
MET THE REQUIREMENTS of their expert engineers. THIS MEANS THAT EVERY INCUBA- 
TOR AND EVERY BROODER THAT BEARS THE FIRE UNDERWRITERS’ OFFICIAL LABEL 
MUST BE ONE THAT HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND APPROVED BY REPRESENTATIVES 
OF THE UNDERWRITERS’ LABORATORIES (Inc.). 
Cyphers Incubators, since first introduced, have borne an unequaled reputation so far as the 
fire risk is concerned, as established by the affidavits of agents and salesmen and as confirmed by the 
records of the insurance companies; therefore, the standard type of incubator manufactured by this 
Company fared well at the hands of the Mechanical and Consulting Engineers, as may be seen by reference 
to the Rules and Requirements recommended by them. Nevertheless, they wished to make doubly sure 
of safety in the use of even the Standard Cyphers, hence saw fit to require several minor changes in the 
location and insulation of the heater, and to require the adoption of a method of fire-proofing the heater 
end of the Standard Cyphers in such manner as would accomplish the following important results: 
No. 1. So that fire from the oil flame (or lamp) ‘‘cannot communicate to the incubator case.” 
No. 2. ‘‘So that oil cannot drip from the lamp, nor fire communicate therefrom to the floor of the room 
in which the incubator is operated.”’ 
No. 3. So that the lamp ‘‘cannot be filled without removal from the incubator’’ or lamp support. 
No. 4. So that the lamp ‘‘cannot be accidentally jarred or dislodged”’ from the support. 
No. 5. ae that the lamp ‘‘will at all times be held in proper position and alignment’’ with the heat flue 
to heater. 
No. 6. So that the lamp can be ‘‘readily removed and replaced by the operator without spilling of oil.” 

You can purchase the famous Standard Cyphers Incubators and Brooders in Philadelphia
