Up for sale is a rare, original vintage 1937 advertising and promotional multi-fold brochure issued by Wirthmore Feeds (Chas. M. Cox Co., Boston, Mass.).
Titled \"New England Breeders Believe in Quality,\" this unique piece serves as a commercial celebration of the 1937 Eastern States Exposition livestock champions. The inner gatefold opens up to reveal a wonderful historical photo gallery featuring 11 champion dairy and dual-purpose cows and bulls from across New England that were conditioned on Wirthmore 14% Fitting Ration.
The detailed text captions identify specific prizewinning animals and their prominent breeding estates, including Natick Farm (RI), Judd\'s Bridge Farms (CT), Argilla Farm (MA), Clovercrest Farm (ME), Baker Farm (NH), Talisman Farms (CT), and Wachusett Meadow Farm (MA).
The reverse panels display full feed specifications, a comprehensive list of period ingredients (including wheat bran, fish meal, corn distillers\' grains, and hominy), and a directory of wholesale New England grain company distributors.
Rarity Notes: This is a highly scarce, localized piece of agricultural history. It crosses over perfectly between collectors of vintage dairy farming memorabilia, New England livestock breeding history, early Big E/Eastern States Exposition ephemera, and antique Wirthmore grain company advertising.
Condition: Multi-fold brochure format. Remains in very clean, sturdy vintage condition with bright colors, sharp photographic prints, and minimal edge wear or structural toning appropriate for its age. Please evaluate the high-resolution scans for an exact look at condition details. Sold as-is.
