Zionsville Woman Making Big Money Selling Eggs, 1919

“Big Money In Eggs” from the Feb. 6, 1919, issue of The Watauga Democrat

During December and January just past, from a flock of 48 laying hens, Mrs. T.P. Adams of Zionsville, N.C., sold eggs to the amount of $76 besides what was used at home, which would carry the amount to near $80. Several hens laid around a dollar’s worth of eggs per month. Her hens are Rose Comb Brown Leghorns.


Last year, from a flock averaging 70 hens, Mrs. Adams sold eggs and chickens to the amount of nearly $300. This may not be unusual, but we know of no one else who has made so good a record.
