Excerpt from American Poultry World, Vol. 6: May, 1915 No one would claim that symmetrical, standard-bred shape in a fowl, plus purity and uniformity of color and attractiveness of feather-pattern can justify this big difference, provided the standard-bred specimens are simply to be eaten as human food. But as a matter of fact, other elements of value enter into the problem, not the least being mankind's appreciation of what is attractive, beautiful, artistic. Expressed in every-day terms, we want our homes and the surroundings to be attractive as well as comfortable. To have merely a place to stay that is dry and warm is not enough.
