Efficiency in Poultry 
THE KELLS FARMS-S.C.W. LEGHORNS 
T he modern trend of all business is toward increased efficiency. What does this mean 
to the poultry breeder? It means breeding birds for a purpose and to a standard. It 
means perfecting a strain that will reproduce its kind. It means, for the utility breeder, 
birds that return the maximum of profit. - ... 
That is the motto of the Kells Farms. That is the ideal of the Kells Standard. We 
are breeders of utility birds bred for the purpose of returning us commercial profits the year 
round. Tosecure this, birds must have vitality, productivity and conform to true Leghorn type 
as well. On this platform we will seek to handle our customers needs as we handle our own.

SPECIAL NOTICE 
We believe every advertiser in our Poultry 
Department is honest and reliable. We stand 
back of these classified advertisements with our 
“Sifuare Deal Guarantee,” as we do the display 
advertisements. Those purchasing eggs for 
hatching and baby chicks must understand that 
they are assuming some risk when ordering from 
a distance. For the most part eggs and chicks 
carry safely, but sometimes rough handling b.y 
the express companies or exposure to heat and 
cold causes damage. That eggs fail to hatch or 
chicks die is not conclusive evidence of bad 
faith on the part of the seller, and we shall not 
consider claims on that basis. To avoid contro¬ 
versy buyer and seller should have a definite un¬ 
derstanding as to the responsibility assumed in 
case of dissatisfaction.
