Teachers, doctors, preachers, secretaries, tugboat captains, factory workers raise chickens. Some are young, some old, some active, . some retired. There is no typical Perdue broiler grower. But they all have something in common. They're making additional income with a guarantee. And thi average grower payment now is about 51950 every ten weeks. John Paul Roberson of Williamston is a full time telephone employee. Alice is a full time wife and mother. The Roberson broiler house is a joint - operation. Paul's two brothers are his partners in the farm. When Paul started raising chickens, he stopped raising row crops. The additional income from broilers helps offset today's higher cost of living. And it's a sure thing with a written guarantee. Isn't it time you talked chicken with Perdue? For more information call 919-332-8111 . collect.. " ' rr. ST ulz- - zsrr-cr ; '. , ' .
