Ask along prac­ tically any sideroad in Eastern Canada, and you’ll find several poultry raisers who will tell you the same sort of thing, from their own experience. In fact, you’ll find many people have been so well satisfied with Bray Chicks and Bray service that they have been raising Bray Chicks for 10 or 12 years “straight”. Yes . . . The Bray Chick does the Trick! This year, it looks more and more as if Bray Chicks, started right away, would prove a profitable investment. Everything points to good egg prices and wide size spread next summer and fall—and Bray pullets are noted for early maturity and good egg size. Wide choice of breeds and crosses, all backed by 29 years of experience and many generations of skilled selection. Better talk it over, think it over'—but don’t take too long!
