BACKED BY A 10-YEAR MASTER-MATING PROGRAM 
There’s no need to risk your money or 
take chances on chicks of common breed¬ 
ing when you can invest in proven stock at a rea¬ 
sonable price and be safe. 
Ramseyer “Master-Mated” Chicks—the choice of 
thousands of successful poultry raisers, come to you 
with a breeding heritage that assures you vigorous, 
fast growing stock—uniform development—early 
maturity—high flock average production of large 
eggs. 
“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 
investment in housing, feed, equipment, etc., it pays 
to invest in dependable stock, with a proven record 
of production, 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 exhibition qualities. 
Ramseyer “Master-Mated” Chicks have consistently 
won Grand Championship at the Iowa Chick Show 
(6 consecutive 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 U. S. Approved—Pullorum Tested— 
and unusual sanitation combined with scientific hatch¬ 
ing produces chicks that are healthier—more vigor¬ 
ous—easier to raise. 
SECRET IS IN THE BREEDING 
For years we have consistently developed the produc¬ 
tion quality of our strains by the introduction of pedi¬ 
greed 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 Cer¬ 
tificate and Gold Certificate Grade Chicks. 
SILVER CERTIFICATE GRADE —Special Production 
Matings. Sires heading these flocks are from dams 
having laid 150 eggs in their pullet year (heavy vari¬ 
ety and 200 or more eggs in White Leghorn varieties). 
GOLD CERTIFICATE GRADE —Top-notch egg-pro¬ 
duction grade. Sires heading these matings in White 
Rocks, S. C. Reds, and Barred Rocks, all come from 
dams that laid 175 or more eggs (many over 225 
eggs) under the trapnest in their pullet year. White 
Leghorns over 225 eggs, and many over 250 eggs. 
The other varieties are not headed by trapnested 
stock, but are outstanding matings in each breed, 
selected for their egg production and exhibition qual¬ 
ities.
