back of these classified advertisements with our 
‘‘Square Deal Guarantee,” as we do the display

they are assuming some risk when ordering from 
a distance. For the most part eggs and chicks 
carry safely, but sometimes rough handling by 
the express companies or exposure to heat and 
cold causes (Tamage. 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¬
