S EE if this isn’t the finest proposition 
ever put to you in your life! Using five 
minutes of your spare time a day, you 
can easily make $400 to $700 net profit in 
a few months. All the equipment you 
need is a Wishbone Mammoth! 
Five minutes a day—as long as It takes to 
wind a clock—five minutes doing an easy, 
pleasant job. The Wishbone is so simple to 
operate, a woman can make this extra money 
in five minutes a day without interfering with 
her housework. Looks good, doesn’t it? Well 
it is goodl Here’s the story: 
Eggs cost from 2c to 4c apiece. Chicks sell for 
20c to 30c apiece. Hatch chicks! The Wishbone 
Single Section starts you in this profitable 
business. And the Wishbone Single Section 
makes it a mighty simple, eafe business. 
A Genuine Mammoth — 800-Egg Size 
The Wishbone Mammoth, famous all over the 
world for the fine chicks it hatches, is the only 
Mammoth that has completely eliminated hand 
labor and hatches chicks by natural safe 
methods. This is exactly the same machine 
that, in sizes up to 48,000 is paying big profits 
to the great commercial hatcheries all over the 
continent. It is not to be confused with lamp 
incubators. It is a genuine Mammoth—with all 
Mammoth features—built by the man who in¬ 
vented the first Mammoth. 
Automatic Egg Turner! 
With a Wishbone you don’t have to do a bit 
of hand labor from the time you put the eggs 
in until you take the chicks out twenty-one days 
later. Heat and ventilation in each compart¬ 
ment are automatically regulated. A turn of 
the crank rolls the eggs gently over. That’s all. 
These are exclusive Wishbone features.

as a louse destroyer, working a few

may smear a bit of blue ointment, also to 
be obtained from the druggist, over the 
skin beneath the vent and under the

a pea in each place. These are effectual
