Local and state egg men got
together this week on an issue
of mutual intei est —piomotion
of the sale of eggs

tive director of the Pennsyl
vania Poultry Federation, and
J Harold Esbenshade, chan
man of the publicity committee
of the Lancastei County Poul
tiy Association, pose with two
of the various designs of place
mats being distributed by the
thousands in local lestamants
The place mats show eggs
and promote their sale—at the
stiategic time when a peison
is ready to eat
One lestaurant owner, an
Association member said, le
poited that while using the top
place mat in the photo “people
came in m the middle ot the
afternoon and asked foi bacon
and eggs ” The coloi ed mat
shows two eggs and two slices
of bacon being seived to a boy
The bottom mat is designed
primarily for tourist oriented
establishments. It features a
picture of an egg m its shell

Spanglei said the Dutchman
bleeding faim is located about
foui miles fiom Oxfoid and can
be leached by coming noith on
Pine Street fiom Oxtmd Pine
Stieet becomes 801 l Road, which
runs dnectly past the Lim The
faim is east of Route 472
and piomotes “Pennsylvania
Eggs” in laige letters The mat
also is bordeied with “hex
signs” and explains their an
cient origin The nututional
value ot the egg is also dis
cussed
At Thursday night’s Associa
tion meeting, Bicksler bi ought
10.000 of these lattei place mats
for distribution by one restau
rant owner with a lai ge volume
ol business who wants to re
place his existing mats with
the atti active foui -color egg
piomotion mats
The icstauiant owner agreed
to pay the same pi ice foi the
egg mats that he now pays foi
his own mats, it was repotted
Association members and
Bickslei discussed how to make
up the small difference between
what the restauiant opeiatoi
is willing to pay and what the
mats cost
Discussion was also held on
how to lower the cost of the
egg mats It was indicated that
by ordering printing ot about
200.000 of the mats at a time

The othei highlight ot the af
fau was the judging competi

In the men’s division, Ellis

the price probably could be
lowered to the point that there
would be little or no difference
between the cost and the re
turn
The possibility of getting
other restamants to use the
mats in ordei to justify suck
laige 01 dei s was discussed.
Bickslei also indicated that the
progi am could become state
wide, enabling other counties to
contribute to the volume dis
tubution
While the one lestaurant has
gone full-time with the mats,
many lestauiants have been
taking the mats on a one-neelc
tual basis Some Association
membeis indicated this would
piovide expeuence for a pos
sibly expanded piomotion pro
gi am early next year.
Bicksler teimed the local ef
fort ‘wondeiful You’re to be
congratulated ”
He also said that the poultry
industiy has become highly
efficient in pioduction, but the
product must be sold before
the industry can be successful.
