Poultrymen are no easier to please
than other people and when a store
keeper SAYS his trade are satisfied
with the Poultry Food he sells. it is
evident he is selling an article of real
merit. Read the following letter from
Madden & Trumbull. the Grist Mill
Men. of White River Junction, VT:
Pages Perfected Poultry Food sells
the best and gives the best satisfac-
ton of any Poultry Food that we ever
have sold. Parties that bought from
5 to 10 pounds at a time when we first
