adequate for a fair call.

Programmed feeding:
a key to your profit picture*
Your profit picture depends largely
on how efficiently your birds convert
feed to eggs Can you afford less than
the best and most efficient feeding
system available 7 Can you afford costly
feed waste through spillage, over
feeding and uneven feed distribution
that you get with cart feeding 7 Can
you afford losses inherent in feeders
that encourage feed waste through
accumulation of picked over, stale, less
appetizing feed 7
Wouldn't you rather have a system
that reduces labor to the push-button
level and distributes feed evenly with
out spilling an ounce 7 One that brings
you the advantages of programmed
feeding 7 A system that automatically
dispenses fresh, unpicked-over feed
to every cage at pre-set intervals
allowing birds time to clean up feed
between feeding cycles, thereby en
hancing your chances for better feed
conversion and more profits Well, Made to work,
the Chore-Time Cage Feeding System Built to last.
