U, S. PULLORUM 
CONTROLLED! 
This is our big, modern hatchery at Yankton 
where Gurney chicks are hatched for you. It 
has all up-to-date equipment and with new 
scientific devices which make it possible for 
us to produce hundreds of thousands of chicks 
each year, at a cost far less than if you were 
to try to hatch your own.. Inside, everything 
is spick and span.with hospital-like sanita- 
tion, guaranteeing fine, healthy chicks. There 
is no finer hatchery in the whole Northwest. 
WHITE PLYMOUTH ROCKS: Our ‘Giant Type” 
have beautiful snow-white plumage. They ma- 
ture fast and feather rapidly. They will dress 
ut at almost any age, yellow colored and free 
of pin feathers. This makes them excellent for 
broiler purposes. White Rocks are one of the 
most popular all-purpose breeds, combining 
good egg production with fine quality meat.

High egg production is bred right into every 
Gurney chick! Because most of our flock own- 
ers have been with us for years we have been 
able to introduce and breed into their flocks 
some of the outstanding blood lines of America. 
This means that chicks you buy from Gurney’s 
have high egg production backgrounds. This 
means Gurney chicks are real ‘“‘money makers”! 
is from flocks under our 
These flocks have been 
banded by experienced, licensed Selectors and 
Blood-Testers, with years of experience. Our 
trained hAatcherymen supervise all of the flock 
housing, feeding and care. They insist upon the 
highest standards of sanitation. 
Under the U. S. Improvement Plan, all hatch- 
ing eggs are heavy, 23 ounce or more per dozen 
eggs. Here in the hatchery, skilled personnel, 
advanced scientific equipment and modern meth- 
ods combine to assure you the best possible 
chicks for your money. Every egg is carefully 
selected as to size, shape, and shell texture be- 
fore it goes into the incubator. Incubators are 
fumigated before each hatch to protect eggs and 
chicks from possible disease contamination. All 
this adds up to a supreme effort to hatch better 
chicks, healthier chicks, faster growing chicks, 
more egg production—higeger profits for you! 
Every egg we set

WHITE WYANDOTTES: These deep- 
breasted birds are among the first to 
go to market. They make excellent 
broilers. Will reach 2-to 3 pounds Bees

Good breeding—high livability are directly re- 
sponsible. That’s why you can be doubly sure i 
when you buy Gurney chicks. We are now operat- 
ing under the National Poultry Improvement Plan, 
sponsored by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. 
This means we have met all the requirements of 
the “U. S. Approved” status under the plan. It 
means our advertising, flock culling, testing and 
hatchery management are under the direct super- 
vision of the National Poultry Improvement Plan. 
In other words, our chicks have to be exactly what 
we say they are. 
In addition, we are participating in the “U. S. 
per 100

ment Plan. Reactors have been removed com- 
pletely from the premises to eliminate danger of 
contamination. 
These are the extra “plus” you get with Gurney 
chicks! And remember, all-Gurney chicks come 
from sturdy stock with fine blood lines. The kind 
of chicks that will give you more eggs per pound 
of feed. Make you more profits, and quicker prof- 
its. This year, as last, we sincerely predict that 
“dollar for dollar, chicks will make you more 
money on the farm than any other livestock you 
can raise’! 
A deposit of $1.06 per hundred chicks ordered wilj 
hold your chicks for the delivery date wanted with 
the balance due to be received ten days before 
ashipment. Or take advantage of the discount offer 
of $1.00 per hundred by sending your payment in 
full before March 15th. 
You can feed high-producing chicks as cheaply as you 
ean feed ‘scrubs,’ but your high-producing chicks will 
make you big profits. The “‘scrubs’’ will probably lose 
you money. Why throw feed away? Be sure! Be thrifty! 
Order chicks you can depend on... Gurney’s! Remem- 
ber, all Gurney chicks are U. S. Approved and U. S. Pul- 
lorum Controlled. It’s Gurney chicks for high egg produc- 
tion—low feed cost per dozen eggs, big profits! 
All Gurney chicks come from farm bred flocks which are 
carefully supervised by Gurney hatcherymen. Farm bred 
chicks from eggs produced right on the farm are better be- 
cause they give you hardier, healthier chicks. Because farm 
chicks have learned to rustle and to thrive under more ad- 
verse conditions. It naturally follows that the chicks must 
be better adapted to get along on your farm. Don’t waste 
time and feed on chicks of doubtful origin. It’s not worth it. 
Insist this year on Gurney’s U. S. Approved and U. S. Pul- 
lorum Controlled high-producing strains for extra profits. 
NEW HAMP-LEGS: By crossing the 
dual purpose New Hamp with our best 
White Leghorn pullets, we offer you a 
combination of the best of both 
breeds. This. cross gives you lots of 
eggs plus a fast feathering, fast de-

Again this year we suggest ordering straight run 
chicks early. We believe you will make more money 
than ever if you get these chicks in your brooder 
house early in the spring. Thé reason we say this 
is because this plan gives you some early Cockerels 
for the early market, as well as early laying Pullets 
which will be giving you good egg production in 
time for the favorable fall market. 
Every year many folks decide to order their 
chicks when it is too late. They find they cannot 
get the breed they want, the grades they want, or 
the delivery dates they want! Do not take a chance 
on being late. Get your order in early. Our fair 
prices will save you money.
