Excerpt from Dollars and Sense in the Poultry Business

More money can be made from poultry right now and during the next two to five years than ever before in the history of the chicken business.

A student of this school, living in Canada, started raising a few chickens in a made-over chicken shed in his back yard. He invested only $19.00 in poultry to start with. He kept track of every dollar's worth of expense, every dime's worth of feed, etc. He cared for his hens and fed them just as we told him to do in the lesson books of his course.

This student made a clear profit in one year of $9.20 per hen, besides increasing the value of the chickens and houses on hand.

Thousands of our students have recently written us in detail showing they have made from two to twenty times as much cash profit as ever before. Some of these are only raising a few dozen in their back yard; others raise from one to five thousand per year. Some, in fact most of these people, were losing money from poultry one, two or three years ago, but with the knowledge they gained from our books and teachings added to the better money making poultry conditions, these same students are now making big money.

At our Experiment Station we placed together some time ago 160 pullets. In ten months this flock of pullets had earned a clear cash profit of $976.67, which is $3.26 per day. All feed was bought by us at high retail prices. The pullets were housed and cared for in the exact manner described in the books which are sent to every student of this School.

Another lot of 7 5 pullets were placed together at the same time and they made us a clear cash profit of $6.15 per pullet. Many of our students clear $5.00 to $11.00 per hen per year. You can do as well.

Yes, dear friend, in all my twenty-five to thirty years' experience raising poultry on both a large and a small scale, during which time I have traveled and studied poultry raising conditions in every state and Canada, I never knew a time when prospects looked so good for the poultry raiser as right now. It behooves you to "strike while the iron is hot" and "make hay while the sun shines." Don't overlook this opportunity to become more successful than ever with poultry. Start now, if you are not already raising poultry. Put your best foot forward. Give your poultry the best care at your command. Remember the old proverb, "What is worth doing at all, is worth doing well.",

Eggs are certain to bring the highest average prices during the next year that have ever been known; however, at only a 58-cent per dozen average price, we made 160 pullets pay a net cash profit of $976.67 in ten months; 300 pullets fed and cared for in a like manner would have paid a cash profit of $1,830.00, while 500 good pullets would have cleared $3,050.00, and for the future the possibilities are even greater. You cannot afford to longer put off learning the best, most simple and most practical methods of making hens lay more eggs and saving money on feed.

I take a personal interest in every student of this School. I have spent over $100,000.00 in preparing, illustrating and printing the greatest poultry course of its kind in the world. I started this School on $200.00 borrowed money, but my methods and the personal help I have rendered my students have given such universal satisfaction that I am now proud to state that I have over 27,000 prosperous and satisfied students in every state in the Union and in 19 foreign countries. No school in the world has a faculty that is equal to that connected with this School. I give every student personal service. I have made money for thousands of others and I would be pleased to help you with your poultry problems. I wrould appreciate a personal letter from you.
