Ships ’Em in and Out Again.

B. 8. Fendlg, the poultry dealer, will this year undertake on a larger scale a feature of the poultry business that has proven itself to be practical by experiments during last year. And the practice will be of considerable benefit to Rensselaer for the reason that it will keep several men employed during the fall and winter months. The business is to ship turkeys here from Chicago, to pick, dress and pack them there and then to ship them to New York. The first shipment of the Chicago birds was received here Tuesday evening, and the poultry pickers were put to work on them at once. If. operates satisfactorily and Mr. Fendig is able to make some money out of the business he will doubtless engage in it quite extensively, and it would be a great boon to our city.
