wanted because they are the best in the 

 market there.) 



USES THE HEALTH GRIT. "Please 

 send me by American express one hundred 

 pounds Health Grit, for which find $2 

 enclosed. My pigeons are doing finely and 

 I now have 75 in addition to my original 

 lot, and the young ones are hatching out 

 squabs." W. L. J., Maine. 



HE IS PLEASED WITH US AND OUR 

 BIRDS. "I am so much pleased with the 

 birds I got from you and the bright pros- 

 pects of the squab industry, that I feel 

 interested in getting some of my friends 

 started in squab raising. The last ship- 

 ment of squab breeders reached me in 

 splendid condition and are very fine birds. 

 I am very much pleased with the selec- 

 tion and your good judgment. All your 

 stock, birds, supplies and dealings with 

 me in the past have been so satisfactory 

 that you may expect more orders from me 

 and my friends in the future. I have 

 raised and sold pigeons and pet stock for 

 years, so of course am capable of judging 

 good stock when I see it, and I consider 

 your squab breeding Homers the best that 

 can be bred for successful market squab 

 breeding. Trusting that you may con- 

 tinue to have much success in this worthy 

 business."- L. E., Virginia. 



THEY EAT OUT OF HER HAND. "I 

 enclose money order for more nappies. I 

 like my pigeons better every day. They 

 are so tame now they will eat out of my 

 hand." Miss L. V. P., New York. 



THREE MONTHS' WORK. "We are 

 going to move this week to California. 

 The six pairs I bought of you in March, 

 three months ago, have all nested and 

 done -fine, and I have raised 24 young birds 

 from them." Mrs. H. B. S., Massachu- 

 setts. 



ALL THE WAY TO VANCOUVER. "I 

 received my birds on June 8 and all of 

 them were in fine condition except one 

 hen, which seems to be a little stupid. 

 My express charges were all right. Thank 

 you for the free birds. Hoping that I will 

 be able to send for a few more soon." 

 G. A. L.. Vancouver. 



HAS SEEN HOW OUR BIRDS WORK 

 IN HIS TOWN. "I am sending you here- 

 with money order for $31.50, for which 

 please sond me 12 pairs of your Extra 

 Plymouth Rock Homers, and two of your 

 drinkers, same as you sent me before. 

 I have seen two different lots of your 

 Home-rs in this city, and although I have 

 some good ones that are rapid breeders 

 and raise large squabs, I am so much 

 impressed with the work that Mr. Bar- 

 rett's Homers (purchased of you) are do- 

 ing, that I have gone to work and fitted 

 up two more breeding pens to accommo- 



date some of your stock." W. H. M., 

 Massachusetts. 



ALL AT WORK IN SIX WEEKS. 

 "Whoever took the pair of pigeons from 

 the basket must have been an expert in 

 determining the sex and mates, as every 

 one of them, that is, twelve females, have 

 eggs and are setting. Don't you think 

 this is strong evidence that two pigeons 

 never were taken from the basket during 

 transit? I will make no claim against 

 the express company. I feel very posi- 

 tive they are not at fault. The shipment 

 reached me six weeks ago." C. S., Ohio. 



INCREASING HIS FLOCK. "The 

 twelve pairs of breeders that I bought 

 from you last fall are beginning to lay 

 very nicely and I am very much pleased 

 with them. Please send me six more 

 pairs, in payment for which you will find 

 money order enclosed." H. W., New 

 York. 



A LARGE SHIPMENT TO CALI- 

 FORNIA. "I received all the birds (312 

 pairs) without one being dead, and the lot 

 seems to be in splendid condition, on the 

 whole, after such a long journey. It 

 seems wonderful to me that none was 

 dead with all the rough handling they 

 must have received on such a long jour- 

 ney. The birds are beauties and attract a 

 great deal of attention." P. W., Cali- 

 fornia. 



QUICK WORK HATCHING. "The 

 Homers I got of you are doing finely; re- 

 ceived May 1, five weeks ago, and I have 

 a dozen or more squabs from the dozen 

 pairs." J. F., New Jersey. 



FINEST HE EVER SAW. "The Extra 

 Homers arrived today in first-class shape, 

 and are the finest I ever saw." L. C. Y., 

 Maryland. 



UNABLE TO FILL ORDERS FOR 

 HOMERS. "The writer has been engaged 

 in selling Homer pigeons for squab breed- 

 ers for the past several months, but my 

 stock is now almost completely exhausted 

 and I am unable to fill my orders. Have 

 just received an order from Hot Springs, 

 Arkansas, but as I make it a rule not to 

 attempt to fill orders for birds which I 

 do not have in my own lofts, have de- 

 clined the order and referred the cus- 

 tomer to your company. He wants fifty 

 pairs, and would suggest that you get 

 into correspondence with him. Trusting 

 that you may be able to get the business." 

 G. C. S., Ohio.
