Time We Start to Ship 
We start to ship as soon as the weath¬ 
er permits. If the season is early, we 
have our first chicks out in February. 
If it remains cold, it is too risky to ship 
until a little later. 
We book orders at any time for future 
delivery. 
Early chicks are the strongest. 
March, April and May are the best 
months to ship chicks successfully. 
What to Do When Your 
Chicks Arrive 
In some cases chicks arrive at their 
destination the same day shipment is 
made. Do not allow the chicks to lie 
in the Express or Post Office twenty- 
four hours. This may cause many 
deaths. We do not stand good for losses 
that occur in this way. Examine all 
chicks immediately and open your box 
in a warm room. (Do not open in the 
cold.) Count the number of live chicks 
you receive. Please remember that any 
claim for loss or shortage in your ship¬ 
ment must be certified by one witness 
and mailed to us the same day the ship¬ 
ment is received. 
We Pay Transportation 
Charges on Baby Chicks 
We Ship Via Parcel Post 
and Express to Every Part of 
the Country—OUR TERMS 
It is always best to send the full 
amount with your order, as payment 
must be made in full before chicks can 
be shipped. Please do not ask us to ship 
C. O. D. If we cannot fill your order, we 
will return your money at once, with 
reasons. If it is not convenient to send 
the full amount, we will book your order 
upon payment of 25 per cent. The re¬ 
mainder must be paid before date of 
shipment. No orders booked without 
one-fourth payment.

Gurney’s Mortgage Lifter 
Strain S. C. White Leghorns 
Will Supply You Best 
After all is said and done, egg produc¬ 
tion is the true foundation of Poultr}' 
Profits. Realizing this, more and more 
poultry raisers each year choose the 
proven egg laying strains to provide 
money making flocks. With this in 
mind, we have spared neither time nor 
money in building up our Mortgage 
Lifter Strain of White Leghorns. We 
have 1500 extra fine early hatched 
White Leghorn Pullets right here on our 
farm at Yankton. All of these pullets 
were hatched from 24 oz. eggs and these 
eggs were laid by hens with high egg 
records. The sires of these pullets were 
males from hens with Official egg rec¬ 
ords of from 225 to 302 eggs. We have 
mated these pullets good strong husky 
early hatched cockerels from hens with 
trap nested records of from 225 to over 
300 eggs per year. These birds are 
housed in modern poultry houses and 
every care is taken to produce lots of 
large fine eggs and from these eggs you 
get our Mortgage Lifter Strain of S. C. 
White Leghorns. Visitors are welcome 
at our poultry farm at all times. Tune
