egg prices going up! Purina prices low!
This is the time to make <jood egg profits...
Good news is here at last—egg
prices are on the way up.
And more good news —the fore
cast is for one of the lowest
Purina Chow prices in 10 yeare.
This is a ready-made opportunity
for you to make some mighty
good egg money—-especially if
you believe in feeding your hens
good feed for top egg production.
Save on Food Cost, Too
Still more good news—records
from 10,000 Purina customers
show that most poultrymen can
cut feed cost per dozen by feeding
Purina.
These folks who kept track and
reported their results took only
414 pounds of Purina to produce
each dozen eggs. That’s a full
1 pound less than the U.S. aver
age as reported by the United
States Department of Agricul
ture. And that amounted to a
saving on Purina of 5 to 7 cents a
dozen.

lay more of those good-priced
eggs. If you’re not already feeding
Purina, start them on Purina
Layena right away. Morejpoultry
men—by far—feed it than any
other ration, because'it does help
hens lay their best. And at very
low cost per dozen.
No matter-what size flock you
have or what your grain situation
may be talk over your feeding
needs with us. Let us help you
start yout pullets on Purina
Laying Chows for lots of eggs at
about 5 to If per dozen less feed cost
than average.
Poultry Health Hint—Pullets need
worming before "going to the lay
ing house. Wormed birds are
healthier, need less feed. And
Purina Research has developed
low-cost Purina Liquid Poultry
Wormer for you. Just put it in
the drinking water. The cost—
only to per bird! Come
in and see us soon.
