MARKET-MAKER
That’s the new Hfeatpaeker Cross . . .

bird at the Lancaster Poultry Exchange.
Wider breast—heavier legs—bigger size—
put the Meatpacker Cross on top! White
feathering makes cleaning and dressing
easier! Big meaty body keeps dressing
weight loss down, gets premium price
from poultry buyers!
COST-SAVER
That’s the new Meatpacker Cross .
A bird that practically grows while

Disease resistance makes the Meatpacker
