60 young ones by the first of November. — 

 R. W. H., Iowa. 



BLOOD AND HIGH BREEDING COUNT. 



Enclosed find draft for which you will send 

 by Pacific express, Extra Homers, as per 

 memorandum. Several weeks ago I ordered 



15 pairs of . When the birds came I did not 



think they were much more than common 

 birds. A friend in our town wanted some 

 breeders and I got him to try your birds. 

 They came last night. There is a big differ- 

 ence between the birds. My first birds do 

 not show any white on bill to amount to any- 

 thing and they are most all white or very 

 light color. Yours show their high breeding. 

 Blood tells, when you put them together. I 

 sold mine at half price to-day to get shut of 

 them. What I want is blooded stock or 

 nothing. Please send me a good collection 

 of assorted colors, blues, reds and checkers. 

 I ordered one of your squab books some time 

 ago and I think it the best I ever read on 

 pigeons. — J. A., Missouri. 



TRIFLING DEATH LOSSES. In January 

 of this year I piarchased 12 £)airs of your 

 Extras. They are now (April) in fine condi- 

 tion and have hatched out 24 young ones, 22 

 of which are living and doing fine. — ^W. J., 

 Massachusetts. 



SEVEN PAIRS WORTH $25, THIS 

 ARKANSAS CUSTOMER THINKS. Writing 

 you a few lines to let you know that I got the 

 pigeons all O.K. They were all well. I got 

 them two weeks to-day and out of the seven 

 pairs, four pairs of them have built and are 

 setting on eg^ already. I would have 

 written you sooner but wanted to see what 

 they were going to do. I would not take 

 $25 for the seven pairs. Sending the basket 

 back, this evening with the letter. You can 

 put this letter on your list. I think it is the 

 only one from Arkansas. — C. W., Arkansas. 



GOOD SHOWING AFTER THEIR 3000- 

 MILE TOURNEY. ■ Enclosed' please find Wells 

 Fargo Express money order for $1 .70 for which 

 please send me by mail post paid, one leg 

 band outfit at your very earliest convenience. 

 My birds received from you March 17 are 

 doing fine. They got right to work and one 

 month from the day I received them I had 

 three pairs of squabs hatch. Since then one 

 more pair has hatched and two more :5airs are 

 Slitting and two pairs building. I tlunk that 

 is a pretty good showing in six weeks for 10 

 pairs after travelling 3000 miles. I lost one 

 hen. She got sick and I could not find what 

 was the trouble. She did not have diarrhoea, 

 but ^ust seemed to droop and die. The 

 remainder of them are as fine as could be. 



Will you please, quote me prices on nine pair 

 Extra Homers to be delivered in Jime or July. 

 Cannot tell 3ret just when I will be ready for 

 them, but either June or July sure. Best 

 wishes for your continued success. — E. M.. 

 California. 



ARKANSAS CUSTOMER IS PLEASED 

 WITH SQUARENESS. I received your Man- 

 ual a day after I wrote that letter, and I 

 received another one. I have sold both of 

 them, and find enclosed $1.00 to pay for your 

 extra one and another one for myself. You 

 people treated me so well I won't buy any 

 Homers from anybody else. I was surprised 

 at your squareness and have told every one 

 about it and got them all a-going in the right 

 direction . I was very, very much pleased 

 with your Manual. — G. R., Arkansas. 



HIS MONEY TALKS FOR HIM. Last 



August I purchased 124 pairs of your Extras 

 and am now in the market for about 375 pairs 

 more. I am also in need of some extra hens 

 of the same quality. Can you supply same? 

 Also let me know if you can furnish these birds 

 in pairs in the following colore: blues, blue 

 checkers and red checkers in any number I 

 may desire. Please state yoiu- very lowest 

 price on above number of pairs. Let me hear 

 from you by return mail, as I am in a great 

 rush for t^e birds. — S. T., Indiana. 



CANNOT SAY TOO MUCH IN PRAISE OF 

 OUR HEALTH GRIT. Enclosed find $2.00 

 for 100 potinds of health grit. I find this grit 

 the best on the market for pigeons. I cannot 

 say too much for it as it keeps the pigeons in 

 fine health. Although the price is high I 

 would never be witiiout it. I have quite a 

 few people that want to get this grit from me. 

 Can you let me have it cheaper, so that I can 

 make something out of it? Answer and let 

 me know. — R. O., New Jersey, 



BIG SQUAB FARM WHOSE OWNER 

 BOUGHT HIS BREEDERS OF US. I visited 

 a squab farm last Sunday and before I left 

 found that the owner bought his breeders of 

 yoiu" company, five hundred pairs. He has 

 1100 pairs at present and is making a fortune. 

 After seeing this farm I was more than con- 

 vinced that the Plymouth Rock Squab Co, 

 is 0. K. If I get as good a lot of birds as 

 he has I certainly will be pleased. 



I am sorry that I did not figure on handling 

 more birds than I did. Have built house to 

 accommodate 100 birds. Enclosed find stamps 

 for which please send plans and specifications 

 for squab houses. No doubt you will receive 

 a larger order from me in a short time. Will 

 notify you in a few days when to ship birds. 



Beware of anybody who tries to make a sale to ^ou by running down the Plymouth Rock 

 Squab Co. Insist that he show you letters like these in proof of his claims.
