MORE STORIES OF SUCCESS 



1908 



. SHOWING CONSTRUCTION IN FLORIDA. 

 This building, part of the plant of a Florida customer, is built of onlj; one thickness of lumber. Only the roof 

 is shingled. No glass windows are needed. The climate of the South is exceptionally good for squab breeding. 



SUCCESSFUL FLORIDA SQUAB FARMER SAYS THE CLIMATE OF HIS STATE CANNOT 

 BE BEAT. LIKES THE CARNEAUX. The Carneaux arrived here yesterday. I am much 



f leased with them. They show more v/hite than the birds which my mother sent me from 

 'ranee and are larger. The more I see of the Carneaux^ the more I like them, and wish I had 

 nothing but them in my squab farm. I believe there is going to be a tremendous run on them 

 as breeders. 



My Homers are mated and all hard at work. I was fool enough last spring of 1906 to band 

 the mated birds of that season with colored bands, blue for cocks, red for hens. The bands 



I bought from , who guari'^teed that they would last a lifetime. I note at least one- 



thirdhave broken and come off. I snail have to reband 300 pairs over again. No more colored 

 bands for me. 



Enclosed find check, for which send as specified. You will be glad to hear that I am making 

 a success of the squab business* and now have 700 mated pairs. As soon as the fall commences 

 and the price of eight to nine pound squabs advances from its present low standing here, I am 

 thinking of starting to ship to the New York markets. In this Southern climate our birds 

 work better and faster, produce far better grade of squabs in the winter and spring months 

 than in the summer; while I understand with you the summer is yotir best time. I believe 

 otrr Florida climate cannot be beat for squab farming. 



If I like and find out that the Carneau is all it is cracked up to be, 50 per cent of my Homers 

 will be replaced gradually by them. — W. B. W., Florida. 



HEALTHY. RUGGED BIRDS. Enclosed 

 please find draft for $11.52 for one gross of 

 your nappies. The birds I got of you last 

 spring are all right. I have not lost a one 

 with sickness or any other cau'^e. — A. M. J., 

 Iowa. 



HIS FATHER IN IOWA LIKES THEM. 



My father at Des Moines, Iowa, is breeding 

 your birds and likes them very much. Please 

 send me present price on 10 and 20 pairs 

 Homers. I want the best that I can get 

 regardless of cost. — C. H. D,, Illinois.
