a = Som DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA ® For Stamp Collectors ® By EARL P. L. APFELBAUM Philadelphia stamp collectors are indeed fortunate in that the world’s only privately maintained Philatelic Museum is in their city. Sweden, Netherlands, Switzerland and a few other countries have government Postal Museums, but our National Philatelic Museum at the southeast corner of Broad and Diamond Streets is unique. In the spring of 1848 a group of Philadelphia collectors gathered at the Art Alliance in the central city with the purpose of starting the Museum. Bernard Davis, a prom- inent textile manufacturer whose N countries is internationally known, contributed the former bank build- ing which houses the Museum. He has also generously contributed to- wards its maintenance since that time. The founding committee included George Caldwell of the Bell Tele- phone Company, a collector of Swiss stamps; Harry Buten of the Buten Paint Company, who is a great authority on Wedgewood; Arthur Nichol of the Philco Com- pany, representatives of Temple University and the professional life of Philadelphia, The stamp dealers’ trade was represented by Earl P. L. Apfelbaum. The greatest stamp collecting af- fair in Philadelphia history was the grand opening exhibition at the museum late in 1948. Almost 1500 collection of original covers of all formally dressed collectors and their SELF-SERVICE STAMP. IN OPERATION $ 1000 volumes to choose from! Over 1,000,000 stamps!

The response in the past has been tremendous, but this year’s Chick Day should be the biggest yet! (non-sexed) heavy-breed chicks to one (1) member of each fam- ily absolutely free for as long as the supply lasts. In addition to the chicks we have designated to be given away, ‘we will have a supply available for sale at 16c each for those who would like more than the allotted 10. There is, how- * § ever, no obligation to purchase extra chicks when you come for those that are free. Please bring your own con- tainers and I suggest you come early to be sure of receiving your chicks. The fun will begin at 8:00 A.M.—See you there! Purina Growena Helps Build Egg-laying Organs The Purina “Men in White” have done it again! Yes, those research scientists at Purina’s laboratories have again improved Purina’s Poultry Chows. i Now you may get 100 pullets in the nest on 250 pounds less feed . . . feeding the Purina Way \, . . than the estimated average. Good “poultry raisers every- where place a lot of importance on the second five-week period of a chick’s life. For, during this time, young birds really start de- veloping their egg-laying organs. And, Purina’s Growena helps build the big frames and sturdy bodies that pullets need to lay lots of big, tasty eggs. Tent Caterpillars If you haven’t already noticed, the tent caterpillars are on the march. Get ahead of them this year! We've got a spray here at \ the store designed to knock ’em dead. Get some this weekend. HUSTON’S FEED SERVICE, Fernbrook We will give 10 straight run We're glad to hear that, Mrs. Faster Than Ever MRS. JOHN ANDERSON, De- munds Road, Dallas, told me this week that her batch of Silver. Cross Cockerels are growing fast- er this year than ever before. She notices a definite improvement in performance on this year’s Super Chick Startena. Anderson. Purina says that the early gains are the most econo- mical gains. He Likes Purina Pigeon Chow MR. BEN COBLEIGH, Dallas RD 3, a well known pigeon grow- er in this area stopped in to show us ga crate of White King Pigeons he was shipping out west. He had sold 10 pairs for breeding pur- poses and they really did look like top quality stock. He told me that these were ideal squab birds and command a good price. Ben said “I haven't had any trouble since I switched to Purina Pigeon Chow four years ago.” No canker, not even lice trouble him, he said. “And they're smooth white, big bodied birds too. That's important with squab birds.” Thanks Ben. You pigeon fan- ciers might do well to try our Pigeon Chow. It’s tops in quality. Grinding and Mixing MR. HELBERT BROWN of Car- verton was among those who brought in grain for us to grind and mix with concentrate this week. While we stood by the mixer, I asked Helbert how his cows were doing on his home grains. He said ‘they eat this feed like they really enjoy it. I used to grind my oats and corn and just feed that,” he said, “but they didn’t eat it so good.” You're right, Helbert. There's quite a difference between feed- ing just ground oats and corn and “feeding a well-balanced mixture of your grain and concentrate, molasses, minerals and salt. Not only do you provide the cows with an appetizing feed, but you give them the additional import- ant milk making ingredients, vit- amins and minerals they need. How about it folks, may we see YOU at the mixer soon? } - Produces Variety Winners of the recent art contest among Junior High School students were: Judy Joos, Carole Mashinski and Barbara Bigus, with honorable mention for Brian Joos and Grace Bachman, in the Dallas-Franklin- Monroe Township entries.

There has been a .continual monthly change of exhibitions since the opening. Usually an entire country is featured, but on occa- sion individual issues or special sub- jects have been the motif of shows. Every national stamp collectors’ society has held one or more of its conventions at this great museum. Probably close to 200,000 visitors have learned more about America’s leading hobby by visits here. There are galleries devoted to the chang- ing stamp exhibitors. On the third floor is one of the largest philatelic libraries in the world. Rooms are available for meetings, study and lectures. A series of books on special stamp collecting topics have been pub- lished. They are beautifully pro- cessed and well illustrated. They range in price from $1.00 to $5.00 and are useful reference works for stamp collectors. The Museum is open daily from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. except Bun- day. Harry M. Buten is president, Bernard Davis, director, and Gus- tave VonGross, curator. Tours of the Museum by classes of school children are welcomed. Arrangements should be made in advance. Adults are invited to visit, and, if interested, may become members of the Museum Company with several valuable benefits, in- cluding free admission to all exhi- bitions, all museum publications, use of the library and study halls, free attendance to lectures, and other useful activities. The mem- bership fee is $10.00 a year.
