This series of advertisements has been run by TEESWATER
FARM and' HATCHERY in an effort to show that in the Chick
business, the old proverb still holds true,
ASK YOUR AGRICULTURAL REPRESENTATIVE
He will tell you to buy your Chicks from the
Smaller Breeder Hatchery Near Home!
WHY?
1. Because, as at TEESWATERVIEW FARM, we are interested
in Better Breeding First, Better Hatching Second.
2. We have a definite program of Flock Improvement aimed at
supplying customers in this district with Better Chicks than they
can buy anywhere else.
3, You don't have to take our word for it—You can call and SEE
WHAT YOUR ARE GETTING.
4. The value of your money is all in the Chicks—No middle man
to pay, no travelling salesman taking a commission out of your
Chicks, no expensive advertising.
K. They are the Cheapest Chicks you can buy because prices can
be kept low in relation to value.
If you have not yet ordered your Chicks for
1947, there are still a few Teeswaterview Chicks
available in late April and in May.
We are planning for still Better Chicks in 1948
It's not too early for you to do the same!
