Tired of
"chicken-feed" profits?
Let
push-buttons "tend"
your poultry
automatically.
Electric automation
on your poultry
farm can cut down
labor costs, in-
crease production and pay you much bigger profits.
For example, electrically-operated equipment
can handle three times the eggs in half the time
... assure birds plenty of clean, fresh feed and
water automatically . . . control healthy hen or
brooder house temperatures ... and even keep
hens from roosting on egg nests after dark,
It all takes less man-power, makes larger poultry
operations possible, and low-cost electricity makes
push-button operation economical.
Call your TP&L Rural Service Advisor today and
let him show you how electricity can hefp you in
your farming operation.
