Healthy Chicks Make
Great Layers ~. And
MORE PROFIT For You M CBb t
Momoe C. Babcock
It will cost you about $1 30 to raise a pullet to 16 weeks
this year. This covers everything but the chick cost. If you
have a very efficient operation and good chick livability you
may be able to cut this cost down to about $llO to $1.20 per
pullet reared to 16 weeks.
With Babcock Bessies you get top chick livability.
Many Babcock Bessie customers house as layers more chicks
than they pay for, because we pack 104 chicks per box
. . . and you pay only for 100. Therefore, with this bonus
you cut chick and rearing cost per pullet housed.
In addition to a fine healthy start, Babcock Bessies will
assure you of a top profit producer for the next 12 ta 15
months.
We are so sure you will like Babcock Bessies, we
make you this guarantee ...
We Guarantee that Babcock chicks will give you
satisfaction. If, for any reason, you are not satisfied,
please write us or stop and see us . . . giving the facts
and figures and we will adjust your loss to your sat
isfaction immediately in chicks or in cash, whichever
you prefer. All of our breeders are US. pullorum
