appeared to favor yearling hens,
pullets and large caponettes with
but little interest in other classes.

lower price range with slow sales.

Here’s a motor especially designed for farm use by Brown-
Brockmeyer Company. It has these two real advantages
not found in other motors;
Dyna-Line Motors start heavy loads easily, even in
sub-freezing temperatures. And they do it with low
starting current so they don’t rob the power line of
current needed for other installations.
Dyna-Line Motors will operate efficiently on as much
as 25% less current requirements than ordinary
standard motors.
