American 
Quality Baby Chicks 
We have a connection with one 
of the outstanding hatcheries of 
the Middle West with whom we 
have dealt for many years and we 
know that every statement in re¬ 
gard to culling and testing is 
carried out to the letter. A special 
inspector surveys every flock, 
handles every bird, examining 
them for egg production according 
to the approved system and B. W. 
D. Antigen blood test each and 
every one. These inspectors re¬ 
move and take away with them, 
every fowl not standing this examination or passing the 
blood test so there is no danger of them again getting 
back into the flocks. Years of this sort of flock culling 
and careful breeding has built up and made possible 
the wonderful quality of our chicks. 
QUALITY PAYS 
It is not what we say nor the 
price that you pay but the eggs 
your hens lay next fall and winter 
that determines whether they pay. 
AMERICAN CHICKS DO PAY. 
The secret of extra profit lies 
mostly in having birds that will 
lay large eggs and plenty of them 
in the fall and winter when egg 
prices are high. It is only after 
years of careful culling, and building up of the flocks 
that our hatchery is in a position to assure big, fluffy 
chicks with real quality bred into them. Our own 
experience teaches us there is no substitute for quality. 
ONE GRADE ONLY 
And That the Best 
The quality of our chicks is the 
result of years of experience in 
culling and testing the flocks from 
which the eggs are secured. Every 
chick comes from flocks that repre¬ 
sent the very best our people have 
learned after years of actual culling 
and building up of these flocks.

As extra health protection 
with AMERICAN CHICKS, 
every bird in breeding flocks has 
been blood tested by the Stained 
Antigen Method for B.W.D. 
(Pullorum Disease). Any bird 
showing reaction to this test is 
immediately removed. Here 
you see how blood testing work 
is carried out. They first punc¬ 
ture the vein that is easily 
seen under the wing. 
A drop of blood from this 
vein is then transferred to a 
testing cabinet where any trace 
of B.W.D. is at once apparent.
