Montgomery Ward had an equally impressive >catalogue. When I lived in Kentucky, I ordered my chickens from the Sears catalogue. We would order 100 chicks at time and when they were 6 weeks old, kill all of the roosters but two, clean them, pluck them and freeze them.

It was a different world - only 20 years ago.
