POULTRYMEN
LET’S LOOK AT THE (FACTS)
DON’T FOUL UP YOUR FOWL MARKETS
Why pay $2 50 per 1,000 or $25 00 per 10,000 Membership?
Why pay 4% commission or $l2O 00 per 10,000?
Why tie yourself to a contract for a year ?
Why pay an out of state organization to sell your fowl to your local buyers and
dressers?
Why have another field coordinator to check your flock record and histoiy 7
DO NOT
WE
• Charge a membership
• Charge a Commission
• Demand a contract
• Need to know your records
WE
BELIEVE 1N...
• Honest competition
• A fair market price
• Giving the poultryman everything he deserves with
out paying for another middleman.

Refrigerator Cycle
Why do new lefngeratois cycle
so much more than older
models’
The answer has nothing to do
with new versus old but is rela
tive to size and vastly impioved
storage tempei atures With more
space and cooler temperatures,
they need more power and cycle
more often.
