PIGEON FEEDS AND BIRD SEEDS 



A feed-buyer wants feed which consists of only good, sound grain thoroughly recleaned. It must not contain dirt or worth- 

 less matter. "He wants a mixture which is well-balanced so it will produce the proper results. He wants uniformity — the mix- 

 ture must run the same at all times. He wants service. You will find these requirements well taken care of in Beckert's Feeds. 

 Give us a chance to prove this claim.
