ANOTHER BABCOCK HATCHERY
Dear Poultrymen and women
I would like to announce that Babcock Poultry Farm, Inc., of
Ithaca is opening a Babcock Branch Hatchery at Lititz, Pennsyl
vania, in Lancaster County. The grand opening will be on
October 23, 24, 25 and 26.
My son, Bruce, who was born and raised in the poultry busi
ness, just as I was, is the proprietor of this new hatchery. He is
a graduate of Cornell, where he specialized in Poultry Husbandry
and with fatherly pride I am pleased to say he had a fine scholastic
record- Bruce is married and the father of twin boys.
This undertaking was Bruce’s idea and it is up to him to make
good—he’s eager, a hard worker and dedicated to serving the
poultry industry.
He is fortunate to have Ernie Blow as foreman in charge of
production working with him. Ernie is one of our oldest em
ployees from the point of service. He was foreman in charge of
incubators here at Babcock Poultry Farm at Ithaca for 16 years.
Ernie taught all of our present employees how to run incubators
and I consider him a real professional. I also guarantee you that
he will do an excellent job of sorting the chicks and when you get
them they will be right.
Your Babcock field representatives are Russ Mease and Bob
Decker who have both had long experience in poultry work and
are at your beck and call. There addresses and phone numbers
are listed below.
I certainly hope that you will come to the opening as I would
like to have the opportunity of visiting with you. I’ll be on hand
at the new hatchery from October 23 - 26 and I hope to see you.
