“MASTER-MATED” CHICKS 
INVEST FOR A BIGGER RETURN . . . MORE 
CASH INCOME FROM POULTRY AND EGGS 
Since the cost of a chick represents only 10% of your In¬ 
vestment in housing, feed, equipment, etc., it pays to 
invest in dependable stock with a proven record of pro¬ 
duction, and be assured of bigger cash return from the 
other 90% of your investment. 
REGULAR STANDARD GRADE—Hatched from 2 oz. eggs 
from select flock matings that measure up to our rigid 
requirements for health, vigor, egg-production and ex¬ 
hibition qualities. 
Grand Championship at the Iowa Chick Show (6 consec¬ 
utive years). Outstanding winnings at other leading 
chick and egg shows. Likewise the breeding stock has 
a notable record at Egg-Laying Contests throughout the 
country. 
All matings are Pullorum Tested—and unusual sanitation 
combined with scientific hatching produces chicks that 
are healthier—more vigorous—easier to raise. 
SILVER CERTIFICATE GRADE—Special Production 
Matings. Sires heading these flocks are from dams 
having laid 150 eggs in their pullet year (heavy variety 
and 200 or more eggs in White Leghorn varieties). 
GOLD CERTIFICATE GRADE—Top-notch egg-production 
grade. Sires heading these matings in White Rocks, 
White Wyandottes and S. C. Reds are from hens that 
laid 175 or more eggs in their pullet year. In White 
Leghorns—from dams over 225 eggs in pullet year— 
many over 250 eggs. The other varieties are mated for 
exhibition and heavy egg-production qualities. 
SECRET IS IN THE BREEDING 
For years we have consistently developed the production 
quality of our strains by the introduction of pedigreed 
males at a high cost—from the nation’s leading specialty 
breeders. This intensified breeding and special mating is 
producing high flock averages—more profits for raisers 
of our Standard Grade, Silver Certificate and Gold Cer¬ 
tificate Grade Chicks.
