New Companies
formed at Dover
Port Dover, 6 Dec 1921 --
The Regal Poultry Feed Company, Limited, is the latest addition to
the Port's industries and uses the formula for feed which John S.
Martin has found to give the best results in his mammoth poultry
industry.
Mr. Martin began in 1901
with a few s in the backyard of his boarding house in
Port Dover. Today his business requires 150 acres of land and there
are at present 6,000 birds on his farm.
This year he sold a pen of
five birds to Mrs. Bessie V. Carswell of Kansas City, for $3,000.
Some idea of the immensity
of Mr. Martin's operations may be gathered from the facts
that:
during the busy season he employs as many as seven
stenographers;
there are over five tons of paper in the latest edition of his
catalogue;
his advertising accounts amount to about $12,000 per annum.
