SELECTION 
FROM THESE 
THREE GRADES: 
MAY-WAY SELECT MATINGS 
All good strong, healthy chicks bred from top ranking 
flocks of poultry raisers throughout the Central West. Many 
of these flocks carry high bloodlines because of their own- 
ers’ natural pride in having outstanding birds. U.S. Ap- 
proved-U.S. Pullorum Passed. We consider these chicks 
as far superior to ordinary standard grade. Their low price 
is no indication of low quality—quite the contrary in fact. 
MAY-WAY EXTRA SELECT MATINGS 
Only one step behind the Best Grade. The male birds head- 
ing these flocks rate high in quality and egg producing 
background, All flocks rigidly culled and blood tested in 
order to conform to U.S. Approved-U.S. Pullorum Passed 
requirements. Chicks from this mating will give you more 
than your money’s worth in honest, high quality, egg pro- 
ducing value..

U. S. PULLORUM PASSED 
Because we firmly believe that the thriftiest, most 
economical baby chicks, in the long run, are those 
from carefully checked, healthiest flocks, we are 
continuing our co-operation with the National 
Poultry Improvement Plan. Under this plan, every 
May-Way Baby Chick comes from a flock that 
qualifies as U.S. Pullorum Passed (NO REAC- 
TORS at the final test), under the strict rules of 
the Plan, as supervised by their Official State 
Agency. 
Only 1c per chick down payment will 
book your order regardless of how many 
chicks you want. You can pay the balance 
any time up to 10 days before the ship- 
ping date, or I will ship C.O.D. for the 
balance due, whichever you prefer. This 
will give you positive protection against 
any advance in price. Should there be any 
decline in price you will receive extra 
chicks for any difference. BEST IDEA: 
Have your chicks delivered to your near- 
est Earl May Store ... pick them up 
there!
