HISTORY OF ANCONAS 
GREAT WESTERN ANCONAS 
The Satisfying Kind 
The value of a show winning can only be determined by the 
strength of the competition, regardless of the size of the city in which 
the show is held, or its past history. The National meet of the United 
Ancona Club at Omaha, Nebraska, was the strongest Ancona show of 
1922 season. 256 of the Nation’s best Anconas were in competition, 
the very cream of the East and West. In this great show, the highest 
honors were captured by the Great Western Poultry Farm, winning Five 
Times as Many Firsts and Seconds as the nearest competitor, as fol¬ 
lows: First and second cockerels in a class of 42, first pullet, class of 
53, second hen in a class of 18, and second young pen in a class of 12.
