HOW WE SHIP PIGEONS. 



Care and skill exercised In shipping live pigeons are large factors in satisfying 

 customers. It is not a pleasant expenence to send money away for pigeons and 

 have them reach you in a home-made box, generally of enormous weight,' and bearing 

 enormous express charges. 



We originated the above style of shipping and have two thousand shipping 

 baskets in use. They are expensive but by their use we are able to guarantee safe 

 arrival. The customer receives his shipment in faultless condition. 



The small bag of grain on top of the basket, tied to it, is for the use of the express- 

 man in feeding the birds en route. The tin water dish is at the end of the basket, 

 outside, where it ought to be, not inside. 



These shipping baskets remain our projierty and are returned to us empty at our 

 expense after the customer has released his birds.
