     EGG CIRCLE 
     
    
   
   
    
     The egg circle had its beginning in Charlottetown in 1913. 
     
     It was organized in the eastern area in 1915 or 1916. The manager 
     
     was George Leightizer, Charlottetown, followed by his son, James. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The last manager was Leonard MacDonald who wound up the business. 
     
     John Hogan was candler. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Case Plan 
     
    
   
   
    
     The circle number was marked in the centre of the case plan 
     
     and the patron's number would be marked according to the number 
     
     of eggs shipped. They were hauled by horses and express wagons. 
     
     The first wagons were covered by a canvas in order to keep the 
     
    
   
   
    
     sun from beating down on the eggs. Tenders were called for the 
     
     haulers and the lowest tender was usually accepted. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The eggs were packed in cases and shipped to Charlottetown. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Each case would hold 30 dozen eggs and at that time nearly every 
     
     farmer had some to sell. 
     
    
   
   
    
     After the closing of the circle, some eggs were shipped to 
     
     New Brunswick and some were sold at the Co—Op store in Souris. 
     
    
   
   
    
     At the present time, very few people keep hens. Their 
     
     eggs are sold in most cases, to regular customers.
