GREETINGS

Ia presenting this, our annual mat
ing list, we wish to thank our old Gus
toners for their liberal patronage
and hope by fair dealings to win
many new ones. Our aim in this cir
cular is TO furnish information and
answer questions which we are re-
ceiving every day in regard to stock
and eggs.
Lombardy Heighths Poultry Farm
is situated one and one-half miles
from Stanford, the county seat of
Lincoln, and contains three hundred
acres of blue grass land, which all
birds have access to, except during
the mating season when they are con-
fined to large grass runs with mod
ern open front houses. We are bet
ter prepared to meet all demands,
both for stock and eggs, than ever
before and have increased both guam
tity and quality of our stock to the
highest standard of any breeder we
know, as our show record will prove.
We have always tried to avoid eX-
hibiting at shows with little or no
competition in order to accumulate
winnings, but instead, select the
strongest competition we can find
where 1st and End really shows our
quality. You do not care what we
or some other breeder did five or six
OF even three years ago, or what our
stock won at that time. But you
are particularly interested in what
we have done during the past year.
You do not wish TO purchase stock
or eggs from a breeder who won i'm
years past, and has permitted his
strain to run down, but from a relia-
BILE breeder, who can show what the
birds in his yards at Lne present sea-
son have done. Many big breeders
today publish handsome catalogs tell
ing of the many ribbons, cups, etc,
their birds have won in the past.
And if the truth was known they
have not a LIST prize bird in their
yards and not one that could make
fair showing at a country fair. We
endeavOr to maintain a reputation
for fairness and trustworthiness to
do clean business satisfactory alike
20 ourselves and customers. We are
proud of the reputation that Lom-
hardy Heights Poultry Farm has
made, also proud of the many old
customers, who come to us year af-
ter year for their stock and eggs.
They know they can depend on us
for good stock, fertile eggs, and an
absolute square deal; yet we are not
satisfied. Each succeeding year you
will find US trying to improve the
already high standard of our stock.
To Purchasers of Birds. We have
always exhibition and stock birds for
sale at reasonable prices and speci-
mems will willingly be sent on appro-
val; but should they not suit the re-
quirements of customers, they must
be returned express paid same day
as received after being fed and wa
tered, when money will be refunded,
or other birds sent on approval if de-
sired.
To Purchasers of Eggs. Give the
eggs "a hours rest after arrival be-
fore setting. They should be exam
ined before signing express receipt
and if not in good condition, at once
send i'm your claim to express COM
pany. All infertile eggs will be re-
placed if returned unbroken not later
than the 18th day and packed in
same case as sent, express prepaid.
Cash or Current Exchange Must
accompany all orders. Orders for
stock or eggs filed in rotation. Or
ders for eggs should be placed as
early as possible to insure prompt
delivery.
