Not, perhaps, in the breed that's your first choice, Not, perhaps, in the Xtra-Profit grade. But Bray Chicks of the usual , high Bray quality . . , Mind you, that's not saying that the breed and grade you want aren't available. Very probably they are, But demand is uneven. In some breeds it is so heavy that the Bray Hatcheries are booked ahead—in tho'se breeds—for weeks. In others even last-minute orders can be 4illed, for both day-old and started chicks. NAME YOUR SECOND CHOICE So when you order your Bray Chicks, name your second choke ... even your third choice; if possiible . . . on breed, grade, and date of shipment. It may prevent delay and disappointment. All Bray breeds have the same backing of skill and care behind them, so you will probably be pleased with the re- sults you get, even if the breed isn't the one you ordinarily order. A.
