6 National Standard Squab Book, 



methods for years uillioiit their great 'itility beiug made idaiu. When we 

 hr&t learned "alxp at s(iuabs, we were struek by the impressive tact that 

 here was something whieh grew to market size in the ineredible time of 

 fonr weeks and then was marketed readily at a good profit. The spread 

 of that knowledge will make money for you. Show your neighbors the 

 birds you buy of ns. and tell them the facts, and perhaps give them a 

 squab to eat. then you v^iU find a quick call for all the live breeders you 

 can supply. 



The procedure which we advise in this National Standard Squab Book 

 is safe and sound, demonstrated to be successful by hundreds of our cus- 

 tomers, many of whom starteil with no knowledge except what we were 

 able to give them by letter or word of mouth. We have abandoned all 

 in.struction which does not stand the tost of time and locality and give 

 only facts of proven value, of real, practical experience.

 proof of tliese squali teachings is shown in tlie successes made liy otir 

 tliousands of customers witli no otliei- kn(n\'ledg*.' of sqii.-ilis than tliis as 

 a guide. Our correspondence, now liaving extended over a long period, 

 sliows conclusively that beginners tiiiil all questions answereil in tliis book, 

 and go for\\nrd cinitidenfly and surely lo success.
