The ad encourages readers to buy Conkey's Roup Remedy to cure chicken roup so they may save their chickens in an easy and effective way. This copy says the Roup Remedy can be purchased from the Seattle Seed Company. The Fly Knocker ad is a small leaflet or brochure that folds in half vertically and is printed on all panels. This ad paints the inconvenient picture of trying to shoe a horse with flies everywhere while a hired hand tries to shoo the flies away. The ad claims Conkey's Fly Knocker is better than hiring a professional fly-swatter and thus not only gets rid of flies but also saves money. Conkey's Perfect Sprayer to apply the Fly Knocker is also advertised on the back panel. The Conkey's Stock Book certificates are printed in orange and have identical text on front and back.
