Healthy Chicks Make Great Layers!
Here’s How To Make
Even More Money
With Babcock Bessies
—Just By Planning Ahead
We feel Babcock Bessies are about the best money-maker you
can get in a laying hen But you can make even more money on
these birds by planning ahead, and taking advantage of our early
order discount.
Here’s the way it works;
For each full month you order your chicks in advance of the
day they are to hatch, deduct 150 per 100 chicks or $l5O per
1,000 chicks from our current prices. If you order as much as
12 months in advance, you will save $lB on 1,000 chicks. That’s
the same as getting 4% interest without paying apy money. We
also allow a liberal discount for cash in advance of the hatch date.
You’ll like Babcock Bessics if you haven't tried them
before because they’ll pioduce 235 - 270 eggs per year per
bird housed, and they’ll stay m good production for 14-15 months.
If you can plan now for your chick needs of coming months, you
can add to your profits Your early order helps us plan better
so we can provide you with chicks exactly when you want them.
