19 Breeds All at Money Saving Prices 
Shumway’s Grade AA Chicks 
Those Chicks are from healthy, pure bred flocks that are care- 
full}' culled and mated for high egg production as well as size. 
The heavy breeds have been bred for size and quick maturity. 
The Leghorns arc of the big type and have been developed for 
high egg production. Many customers have won prizes at fairs 
on chicks from this grade. 
Shumway’s Grade AAA Chicks 
AVe cannot say too much for these fine chicks. They are from 
some of the leading strains that have been developed over many 
years of flock improvement. If you are a poultry fancier, you 
will want this grade. They are the kind that pay the grocery 
bill and have some left over to bank. We hope you can all take 
advantage of our Special Offer for early Orders to get these chicks 
at grade AA prices. 
SPECIAL REDUCED PRICES 
MIXED BREEDS 
Every hatch day there are thousands of chicks unsold. 
Most hatcherymen mix these up and sell them as mixed 
chicks. We have a better plan to offer. If you place your 
order for any surplus chicks that we may have, we Avill 
fill your order with chicks all of one breed. You may 
choose the class, either light breeds or heavies. If you 
choose light breeds you may get any of the three Leghorn 
breeds or Minorcas, Anconas or other light breed. If 
you choose the heavy class, we will send any one of the 
heavy breeds that tve have available but no Leghorns or 
light breeds.
