The list of previous purchasers follows The success of the Fishelton Farms development is largely due to the practicability of the plan under which we are operating a plan which virtually guarantees to unit purchasers more than DOUBLE the profits obtainable under any other method of poultry raising.

These extra profits are made possible from the fact that we are stocking all units, not with light birds, but with U. R. Fishel White Plymouth Rocks, a strain famous for both its high egg production and its MEAT VALUE. These birds mature very rapidly, cockerels at three months of age weighing an average of three pounds and selling on the market at well over $1 .00. They also are noted for their superior flavor.

The resident poultryman is thus assured big profits from the sale of his eggs PLUS very profitable earnings from the rapid turnover of his meat fowls. Thus, Fishelton Farms is due to become one of the great agencies 5n the prosperous development of San Jennie T. Benham. Cal. Oscar T.
