Bred for egg 
production 
To prove how good Lively Chicks 
are, pens of our breeders were 
entered and won high place in 
the 1923 International Laying 
Contests. 
“Bred for egg production ” is the 
story of Kerr Chicks in four 
words. Our culled laying flocks 
of pure-bred, farm-raised hens 
are headed by cockerels whose 
dams made high trap-nest 
records. 
For exceptionally heavy layers 
try out Hollywood White Leg¬ 
horns, Norfolk Spec. Farms 
Barred and Fishel White Rocks, 
Martin White Wyandottes and 
* Sked Bros. Rhode Island Reds, 
the outstanding laying strains 
of these respective breeds. 
100 per cent safe delivery by 
mail, alive and vigorous, is 
fully guaranteed. 
Send to-day for your Kerr Chick 
Book. It includes our records 
in the 1923 International Lay¬ 
ing Contests.

Write a * a Y er a nd moat profitable breed on earth, 
me today. A. E. Hampton, Box A. Pittatown, N. J. 
urged his new acquaintance to follow 
suit. 
That $600 was never borrowed. The 
bank officer told his depositor something 
about the company. He not only saved 
that young man his money but through 
him saved several others. 
“But the trouble is,” commented the 
banker in telling of it, “they don’t 
usually come to us for information till 
after they’ve spent their money and start 
worrying about its safety. 
“These salesmen do everything in 
their power to turn the ‘prospects’ 
against the banks. They say that a bank 
will oppose such investment in principle 
because it lowers the deposit. They scoff 
at the ‘safe and sane’ rate of bank inter¬ 
est and suggest cleverly that bank officials 
are paying ‘niggardly’ interest on the 
one hand and using the depositors’ money 
to make large profits for themselves on 
the other. The more distrust of conserv¬ 
ative and legal methods of saving money 
they can engender in the minds of their 
victims, the better the chance of getting 
their life savings. Consequently, the 
advice of the local banker, the farmer’s 
best friend in investment matters, is 
rarely sought until after the money is 
gone.” 
Warnings to Investors 
Among the “eleven warnings for in¬ 
vestors” listed by Secretary Mellon, the 
following have especial interest to pro¬ 
spective stockholders in such concerns 
as the Farmer's Standard Carbide Com¬ 
pany. 
“ ‘New manufacturing methods’ 
should always be personally checked and 
investigated. If you lack experience in 
making this examination, get an expert’s 
views. 
“ ‘Invest quick, or it may be too late,’ 
is the favorite urge of the wildcat stock 
salesman. That should make you sus¬ 
picious. The swindler fears investigation. 
His fakes sell best when he rushes you 
off your feet. Many have lost because 
they did not ‘sleep over it.’ 
”Look with suspicion on offers with 
special inducements in cash discounts 
or stock bonuses. Such an offer may be 
a trap, and many have been lured to 
misfortune by it.”
