-Romanthus NJ. Stocker, lawyer,
editor, historian, churchman and
poultryman, declares in response to
inquiries that he did not positively
agree to print gratuitously the prize
ribbons for the poultry show at the
~ 90 II o.
ported by some of his brother hen
fanciers that he offered to do this
job without money and without
price to help a deserving cause
along, but Mr.. Stocker is emphatic
in his statement that he only said
he might do it when the matter was
broached at a poultry meeting more
than three weeks ago in Hawley.
In course of time, he says, there
showed up a man willing to print
them for a couple of cents apiece
and do an artistic job, and it is to
pay for this, Mr.. Stocker says, that
the hat has been passed around
among the Honesdale, White Mills,
Hawley and Bethany poultrymen.
