The PROMISE...
and the
FULFILLMENT!
Here is another SUCCESSFUL, INDEPENDENT,
FAMILY-OWNED, LANCASTER COUNTY FARM
BUSINESS. We are proud to share with Levi H. and
Aaron J. Brubaker, of Buchanan Hills Farm, Lan
caster, Pa., a firm faith in the future of Lancaster
County agriculture!
On February 5, 1964, the Brubaker's started a
6,750 chick flock (Hy-Line and Anthony) on Red
Rose Feeds (The pullets at 7 weeks of age are shown
above). By 10 weeks of age, the MORTALITY WAS
1.1% (78 chicks) THE FEED COST WAS 22c
PER CHICK STARTED. From 19-20 weeks Leghorn
pullets normally consume 10 pounds of feed. At
that rate, the Brubaker pullets will have consumed
a total of about 65c worth of feed by housing time.
The brooder house used at Buchanan Hilfs Farm
is a conventional design using hot water heat, auto
matic feeders and waterers. A few of the windows
in the brooder house are used for baffled air in
takes; the rest remain closed. Ventilation is regulat
ed by thermostatically-controlled fans located in the
rear wall.

Aaron Brubaker, of Buchanan Hills Farm, studies
the golden Hy-Line Award which he won when his
last flock of Red Bose-fed Hy-Line’s produced 255,9
eggs per bird housed.
Mr. Brubaker feels confident- that the promise
shown by this year's "picture-book" pullets will not
only be realized in future awards, but more impor
tant, in future PROFITS.
Will you realize this fulfillment from the pro
mise of your pullets this year? We sincerely hope so.
But, hope alone won't quite do it. We at John W.
Eshelman & Sons feel we hove a few of the answers
that will help you get rhore of those "Golden Eggs"*
from your layers.
The job starts before the chicks arrive, and it
continues until the lost hen lays her last egg and is
sent to market. For YOU the job starts now! WE
START WORKING the minute you pick up your
telephone and call us at Lancaster, or call one of
our Red Rose Distributors and say, "send your Red
Rose Poultry Serviceman."
If you buy started pullets we can also serve you
by making certain that THEIR PROMISE OF PRO
FIT WILL BE THERE FOR YOU.
