Philadelphia Eggs
Thursday, March 29
Report supplied by USDA
MARKET COMMENT: Prices
unchanged to higher. Cartoned egg
movement is fairly good overall.
Orders to regular accounts are
fair, but where promotions are in
progress, orders are generally
good. A good buying interest still
exists for gradable nest runs, but
there is some reluctance to pay
current asking prices. Offerings
are limited and help with much
confidence.
Prices to retailers: sales to
volume buyers, consumer grades

The undertone is weak as further
processors continue to bid lower
for finished product. Offerings of

anticipated.

The customer who received that first delivery of Moyer's Chicks
in January 1947 was, no doubt, unimpressed with the delivery
vehicle. Six boxes of baby chicks in the back seat of a 1941
Oldsmobile Sedan was indeed a humble beginning!
More impressive was Moyer's determination to make the
delivery on time and with a minimum of stress. The first challenge
was digging through the snowdrifts in front of the hatchery!
Today Moyer's is no less determined to meet the industry's
challenges of large volumes of chicks hatched and delivered with
minimal stress. Now Moyer's hatches more in one day than the
sum total of 68,000 for the first whole year in 1947.
Deliveries of up to 50,000 chicks per load are made com
fortably year round in Moyer’s climate-controlled vans.
Yes, we've come a long way, and our sights are set on the
bright new challenging horizon of the future.
