I have found much more satisfac-
tory poultry profit from a high-class
private trade which I have succeeded
in developing that when I depended
on hucksters, grocers, and shipping

is absolutely necessary to have the
quality of the highest when selling

ducer of poor -quality produce is no
longer getting anywhere these days,
no matter what.his'tine of business..
.I find that the most profitable cus-
tomers will not hunt for the poultry-
man. They must be rustled for. But
there are well-to-do homes in every
good-sized town and city where a
sampleeof superfine eggs, backed up
with- a "money back" guarantee, will
give you a chance to furnish sorne
trial orders. It then , only requires
fancy quality eggs and.poultry in-

dition to make your customers , per-
manent. There are oleo good pros-
pects` for profitable customers among
summer and winter hotels that cater

tariums, etc. All - of these have fur-
nished me outlets for high-grade
poultry and ''eggs
An attractive printed notice is
placed in the top of each of the paste-
board cartons in whish my eggs are
delivered to my- customers, worded
as follows: •
Sunnyybrook Farm Eggs
These eggs are guaranteed to be
less than thirty-six hours old when
shipped. They are the product of
pure-bred, healthy hens which- are
housed and fed according to strictly
hygienic principles. The eggs are
therefore warranted strictly fresh

Whenever more of our poultry pro-

Of late I have found that the light
metal shipping eases used by squab
breeds in which to ship their squabs
to market are equally satisfactory
for shipment of high-grade broilers,
roasters, capons, and eggs as well, to
my special customers by parcel post.
These -metal cases are matte in two
parts, one telescoping into the other,
thus saving space. -
