SPECIAL NOTICE 
We believe every advertiser in our Poultry 
Department Is honest and reliable. We stand 
back of these classified advertisements with our 
‘•Square Deal Guarantee,” as we do the display 
advertisements. Those purchasing eggs for 
hatching and baby chicks must understand that 
the.v are assuming some risk when ordering from 
a distance. For the most part eggs and chlcka 
carry safely, but sometimes rough handling by 
the express companies or exposure to heat and 
cold causes (raniage. 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 basi.s. To avoid contro¬ 
versy buyer and seller should have a definite un¬ 
derstanding as to the responsllnlity assumed In
