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.

this money? 
PRAISE AMERICAN CHICKS 
One year we received an order for baby chicks from Yukon, Pa. The chicks were so fine and did so well that before the season 
was over, we filled six separate orders from that one Post Office. The quality of our chicks is outstanding and is our best advertise¬ 
ment. 
“The chicks we received from you last spring are very satisfactory. They are just beginning to lay.” 
—Lillian Hutter, Ohio. 
Mrs. John Motyka, Wisconsin, saw the baby chicks ordered by her neighbor and immediately sent in her order as she was well 
pleased with the quality. 
“I want to tell you my chicks are doing wonderful. I haven’t lost any and they are such nice big ones and we have a lot of pullets 
from the 200 we bought from you.” —Mrs. James Post, New York. 
“I ordered White Minorca chicks from you May 10. They are growing fine; have only lost one chick so far.” 
—Mrs. Karl Stohr, Mich.

I2J 
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.
