We take pleasure in presenting to
the fanciers and Breeders of Standard
Bred Poultry our second annual prem
ium list. Our first exhibition was an
unqualified success, both as to num-
bers and quality and from financial
standpoint
With few exceptions our 1909 Exhi-
bition is to be under the direction of
the same local poultrymen, whose 10y
atty and unt:ring efforts added no little
20 the success attained in our first
venture, anG the experience acquired
last year has fitted them to improve
upon. and correct any shortcomings
which may have occurred in our ini-
lial show
Through the liberality and hearty
support of the merchants and busi-
ness men of Keokuk we are enabled
to not only offer exceptionally liberal
cash premiums, but an unusually large
number of handsome silver cups to
which there are no strings attached.
These cups won once, become the alb
solute property of the winner. 1t is
not necessary to repeat the dose two
or three times before you carry them
off.
We aim to have an exhibition this
year that. will not only go down in
local history as an occasion to be re-
membered, but of national import
ance. We are centrally located in a
section of the country that is rapidly
gaining the reputation of being the
leading poultry raising section of the
United States, and we extend cordial
invitation to fanciers and poultrymen
to exhibit their poultry with us, and
il possible attend in person, when we
insure them hearty welcome, fair
and straightforward treatment in the
competitions. No discrimination will
be permitted, no favors shown. We
also guarantee your birds will receive
proper care and attention.
The services of Judge w G. Ellison
have been secured to place the
awards. which is evidence that they
will be placed where they belong Our
express facilities are excellent, which
insures quick delivery of your birds
at show room and prompt return after
close Of exhibition. The success OF
our show depends to large extent on
the number and quality of the ex-
hibits and we solicit your cooperation
in helping us make our 1909 show a
record breaker.
Do not forget the date. November
1925, make up your mind to be with
us. We guarantee you will have no
reason to regret 1T.
