The Jarvis Poultry Farm has
opened their new plant at Frank
ford this week. Fifteen years ago
the Jarvis Poultry Farms started
in the poultry business with five
hens and one rooster, and the in
cubator consisted of one small Cyp-
hers incubator heated by an oil
lamp and this machine held 144
eggs, and from this small start
they have added on new equipment
each year, and now their hatchery
has reached the enormous capacity
of one-half million eggs per setting.
This tremendous growth shows
what can be done by producing high
quality products and square dealing
with the buying public. The main
office and hatchery will still be To-
Gated at Berlin, Md, and under
personal charge of B. Franklin Jar
Wis. The branch in this town is
on Church street, and while not
quite completed, it is well worth
visit.
