Plain & Fancy Contributes To AEB Promotion Fund
Plain and Fancy Egg
Ranch, Elizabethtown, has
contributed $5OOO to the
current nationwide fund
drive by the American Egg
Board (AEB). The AEB is
trying to raise a million
dollars to promote eggs to
American consumers, and
reverse the decline in per
capita egg consumption.
Plain and Fancy’s con
tribution represents a cent a
bird on chickens owned by
the firm, and another cent on
birds in flocks under con
tract.
Last Friday, John Snader,
treasurer of Plain and
Fancy, gave the firm’s check
to Charles A. O’Reilly,
secretary of the Northeast
Egg Marketing Association
of Durham, New Hampshire.
That organization has been
serving jointly with Neppco
in co-ordinating the AEB
drive in New England and
the Mid-Atlantic states.
Paul Hess, president of
Plain and Fancy said, “We
have wanted to see a con
certed national program to
really answer many of the
unfair attacks made against
eggs. We see American Egg
Board as the proper vehicle
to get the job done. It is not
putting it too strongly to say

If you did what everybody does
at Christmas time, here’s a
little help from us toun-do it.
Everybody does it.
That is, everybody overspends a little
at Christmas. Then some ot us find that
contending with the overspending be
comes difficult.
If you know what we mean—from re
cent experience—here’s help; A post

Visit the bank soon, and talk with a
loan officer. (There’s one at both our lo
cations.] He’ll ask a few questions. After
which he’ll do his best to lend you what
you need at our low, installment lates.
Meaning that you’ll be paying off those
Yuletide obligations faslei, with greater
ease and less worry.
Shouldn’t yon, and eveiybody, do it ?
