And here is Mr. Henry Saglio of Arbor Acres he was runner up but first place among the pure breeds with his White Rocks.

in the 1950s and 1960s both entrepreneurs were supplying about 80% of all of the broilers in the USA, Arbor Acres with their White Rock Female line and Vantress was supplying the Cornish/NH cross Sire lines. At the time people had to purchase parent stock from those two if they wanted superb broilers.

But eventually they would both(Arbor Acres and Vantress) would supply their own Cornish/WR parent stock.
