FIELD’S CHICKS 
Save and Make 
YOU MORE MONEY 
Special Early Order 
Discounts Good 
Until March 10th 
If you order early we can plan our produc¬ 
tion ahead and save money. This saving is 
passed right on to you in the way of liberal 
discounts as shown below. We book all orders 
in rotation as received so it is decidedly to your 
advantage to order early and get your choice of 
shipping dates. Remember how scarce chicks 
were in 1936 and how those who waited late to 
order had to wait and wait? Get your chicks on 
the date you want them this year by ordering 
NOW as chicks will be scarce again like they 
were two years ago. 
When you buy chicks from Field’s you are 
getting the largest selling brand of chicks in 
the world. MORE of these chicks are sold, and 
have been every year for the last six years, 
THAN ANY OTHER BRAND IN THE WORLD! 
What further proof is needed that Henry Field 
has just the quality you want at right prices? 
Henry’s Colonial Bred chicks are bred to give 
you good results. We have always believed that 
the real profits in the chicken business come 
from the sale of eggs with the meat an impor¬ 
tant, but secondary consideration. Lots of 
eggs means a good weekly income and cash in 
the pocket. So several years ago, before choos¬ 
ing the type of poultry that would best fill your 
needs, we talked with poultry raisers and 
hatchery owners all over the country before 
choosing this brand of Henry Field Colonial 
Bred chicks. As a result of this careful selec¬ 
tion, we have built up a huge list of regular 
customers which is growing every day. 
The hatchery—right across the street from the 
seed house—is hatching four grades of chicks. 
The STANDARD GRADE which is better than 
many others offer in their higher grades. The 
SPECIAL LAYING GRADE which are still bettei. 
The BEST EGG grade which we challenge any¬ 
one to excel. The R. O. P. SIRED GRADE which 
is Best Egg grade quality hens mated to indi¬ 
vidually pedigreed R. O. P. males from hens lay¬ 
ing 200 to over 300 eggs in one year. Beautiful 
breeding certificate furnished with this grade.

NOW IOWA’S LARGEST HATCHERY 
Here I am again. This time inspecting the 
big modern sanitary incubators, which hatch 
Field’s chicks. Our chick department has 
grown so rapidly that we now have Iowa’s 
largest hatchery. This mammoth plant is lo¬ 
cated right across the street from the main 
seed house and visitors are always welcome. 
I want to thank you friends for the mighty 
fine help you have given us. Every day, dur¬ 
ing the hatching season, we get orders from 
folks who say they have seen some of our 
chickens on their neighbor’s farm and they 
want some just like them. Now, that is really 
being good neighbors and I say again that such 
help is appreciated. 
Now that you have boosted Field’s chicks to 
such an extent that we have Iowa’s largest we 
are able to produce chicks for less money. Mass 
production means lower costs so we are able 
to use this saving to build up our flocks to still 
higher standards, to still higher production. 
I guarantee that you won’t find better chicks 
any place in America for 'the price we ask. We 
refuse to be undersold on'^baby chicks. Send 
us your orders and I will £ee that you get the 
most possible for your money and any time 
there is any price concession you will get the 
full benefit. 
BIG HATCHES DAILY 
BETTER SERVICE 
More and bigger 
eggs from our 
Big Leghorns 
This is a Leghorn year. Eggs are, and have 
been high enough to make a good profit over 
feed costs. There is no breed that is so uni¬ 
versally used by the big commercial farms as 
the White Leghorn. Our White Leghorn 
flocks have some of the same blood line as the 
357-Egg World Champion pictured on this 
page. Descendants of this hen were used in 
our Key breeding pens. If you like BIG LEG¬ 
HORNS that will lay lots of good-sized eggs, 
you want Henry’s Colonial-Bred Leghorns.
