STORIES OF SUCCESS WITH PLYMOUTH ROCK HOMERS 



Manual is, from every point of view, thatis, 

 as a business book, a model of the rare thing 

 called " good '* English, and almost as a 

 Naturalist's standard work — the best thing 

 I ever saw. This letter does not call for re- 

 ply, but it does no harm to any one to know 

 that a good piece of his work is recognized 

 and appreciated by some one else who believes 

 in and strives to do good work himself. I 

 wish you continued success. — F. G, A., San 

 Francisco. 



HIS NEIGHBOR HAS DONE WELL FOR 

 NINE MONTHS AND WILL NOT SELL ANY. 



The pigeons came two hours ahead of your 

 letter informing me of the shipment. They 

 arrived in fine condition, had plenty of feed 

 and water, and were delivered promptly, 

 and I am pleased with them. They are 

 beauties. My neighbor, Mr. Cole, bought six 

 pairs from you last June and _ now, nine 

 months later, has nearly fifty pigeons, and 

 wiU not sell one of them at any price. I 

 tried all over this city of sixty thousand peo- 

 ple to buy six pairs of pigeons and could find 

 only one pair for sale. I return basket today. 

 Please accept thanks for your prompt de- 

 livery.— R. M. T., Ohio. 



TREATED IN AN HONEST AND GEN- 

 EROUS MANNER. My pigeons arrived 

 yesterday morning in perfect condition and 

 I am delighted with them. They are beau- 

 ties, and I want to say you have kept your 

 word to the letter and treated me in an hon- 

 est and generous manner. Return basket 

 today. — Mrs. A. L., Illinois. 



HE IS PROUD OF HIS FIRST PUR- 

 CHASE. My pigeons arrived safely Satur-

 extra pair. They are a fine lot of birds, and 

 I am proud of them. You will hear from me 

 from time to time. — ^V. M., Virginia. 



CANADIAN CUSTOMERS PLEASED. I 



take pleasure in letting you know we received 

 our stock in very good condition. We re- 

 ceived them one day before we got your let-

 prise we counted fourteen instead of twelve. 

 We return many thanks to you for your 

 kindness and liberality. They are doing 

 nicely .at present. They are lovely birds. —

 of them.— W. A. C, New York. 



" WHAT FINE BIRDS, AND HOW 

 LARGE THEY ARE." I received the pig-

HE HAS NOT LOST A BIRD, YOUNG OR 

 OLD. IN BREEDING FROM PLYMOUTH 

 ROCK STOCK. WiU you please give me 

 address of parties who buy pigeon manure? 

 The birds purchased of you one year a^ 

 next month have done weU. I have not dis- 

 posed of any and have not lost one young or 

 old. It has caused considerable talk here- 

 about, for many parties have pigeons and 

 have lost many of them. Newcomb who 

 bought a few of you on my advice, told me 

 he wished he had bought all of you, but he 

 bought of several other sources and has been 

 dissatisfied. I have about completed my 

 big house and shall soon call on you for more 

 birds. — ^A. P., Massachusetts.

 eons. They are doing fine. I have squabs all 

 ages. I have about thirty-five pairs of old
