JAZZ POULTRY FEED
 MAKES GOOD STRIDE
Popular Brands To Be Seen At
 Birmingham Show

The Jazz poultry feed and Jazz dairy feed exhibits at the Home Products show will attract attention to Bir- mingham industry that has kept pace with the rapid growth of the poultry and livestock industries in the southern states.
 Manufactured by the W. M. Cosby Flour and Grain company, these feeds have gained tremendous popularity in Alabama and the neighboring states of Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Mis- sissippi and Louisiana, where poultry and livestock raising have been on the increase during the past several years. The feeds manufactured by the Cosby company have more than competed sue cessfully with the 'imported'' kind from northern states. Special atten- tion has been given by the experts em- ployed by the Cosby company to the special problems of climate encountered in the feeding of poultry and livestock in the south.
 The merits of Jazz poultry feed was officially recognized recently when 1t was adopted as the feed to be used at the national egg-laying contest which will be held at Auburn Polytechnic in- stitute, Auburn, for one year, commenc- ing Novemer l.
 At the Cosby booth in the Home Products show, free booklets on poultry and livestock culture in the south will be distributed, and other special lnfor- nation will be available to those ln- terested in these subjects.
 I've are naturally proud of our sue cess in manufacturing in Birmingham product that is recognized as meritorious throughout the south,' said J. Chapline Hodges, president of the Cosby Flour and Grain company. Some of our home products are better known outside of Birmingham than in the city, but if that is true of Jazz poultry and dairy feed, it is only because of the rural character of the poultry and the dairying industries.
 "Every sack of Jazz feed that goes out, of course, bears the name of Bir- mingham on it, and our widespread distribution throughout the south helps in establishing the reputation of Bir- mingham as a city of diversified indus. tries.' And we do not hesitate to claim either, that Birmingham produces the best poultry and dairy feed, as well as the best iron and steel products"
