We at Producer Pride aren't trying to start any revolutions.
But if you're an independent egg producer~~or if you'd like
to be—we ran help you get the kind of freedom you want
without Jeopardising your income.
Producers Pride is a cooperative. It's owned and controlled
entirely by producers who want a voice in how their eggs
are marketed. We've been in business since 1532. For over 34
years,.Producers Pride members have been getting paid
every -week for their previous week's egg shipments. We have
never, ever missed a week.
When you join Producers Pride, you become part owner
of the business. And since we’re not a giant co-op, your voice
as ah owner is important
You’ll be Joining a small organization—fewer than 200
producers—but we have the volume to service a growing
market. And our markets are growing, thanks to the dedicated
efforts of a small but hard-working and very capable staff.
We are your friends and neighbors in the egg business^
We enjoy being independent; and we enjoy having a
guaranteed market for our eggs.
This is the year for independence, and producers Pride
is looking for a few more good members. If you'd like more
information* put your John Hancock on the coupon below
and mail it.
