BEAUTIPUL BIRDS GOT TO HIM QUICK. 



Birds received yesterday noon, all in fine con- 

 dition. Put them in their house last night. 

 All took a good bath this morning. I thank 

 vou for your promptness and for sending me 

 iiuch beautiful birds. I had not expected 

 birds so soon, but was ready. — P. M. R., 

 Kansas. 



SQUABS SUPERIOR TO POULTRY. I 



am an old pigeon and squab and poultry 

 man. I have made money with squabs, and 

 I think they are superior to poultry. — H. S., 

 Massachusetts. 



FLORIDA PURCHASER DELIGHTED. 



Pigeons arrived O . K. Saturday night. 

 I am delighted with them, and as I have fol- 

 lowed your instructions as to building house, 

 pen and other articles, the birds seem to be 

 at home. — M. F. B., Florida. 



THEY ARE BEAUTIES. Received pig- 

 eons all O. K. They are beauties and ha^e 

 begun to nest. — F. M., Ohio. 



A TEXAS CUSTOMER'S APPRECIA- 

 TION. Your second shipment of Homer 

 pigeons was received yesterday and, like the 

 first, in excellent condition, and I am more 

 than pleased with them. Although my deal- 

 ings with yoii, when compared to some of 

 yotu: large customers, are rather insignifi- 

 cant, I can't allow this opportunity to pass 

 without expressing to you my thanks and 

 appreciation for your filling of my orders. 

 For square dealings, conducted solely along 

 sound business lines, you are without a peer 

 in the pigeon world today. I most heartily 

 recommend you to all. — S. A. F., Texas. 

 (The writer of this letter is a well-known 

 Texas business man, connected with one of 

 the largest corporations in that State.) 



WON SUCCESS ALSO BY DOING AS WE 

 DO; NEVER HAD A SICK BIRD. Some 

 time ago I bought a dozen pairs of Homer 

 pigeons from you and paid $20 for them, and 

 I want to get about four or five dozen more 

 pair, and would like to know the price you 

 ask for them at present, so I can send the 

 money at once. I find your book op_ the 

 pigeon industry covers the pigeon business 

 in good shape. I have always found when 

 you start to make a new pie or cake, follow 

 the directions of the people that have made 

 a success. Consequently, I have not had a 

 sick pigeon since I received them some eight 

 months ago. The only difference I made 

 was in the house, and in that the only dif- 

 ference was not to make it quite as tight as 

 they are made in your locality. Hopmg to 

 hear from you soon. — ^J. W. C, California. 



ANOTHER WOMAN PLEASED. The 

 birds came on the afternoon of the 6th. 

 They are all very handsome. Some of them 

 are beautiful. You will be surprised to learn 



that in less than 24 hours two pairs were 

 nesting. They have been very busy all day. 

 —Mrs. R. L. U., New York. 



INCREASING FAST. Enclosed find $1.70 

 for leg band outfit. I am receiving excel- 

 lent results from the birds and they are in- 

 creasing so fast that I find it necessary to 

 band them. — H. C. K., Maryland. 



OUR HOMERS ADVERTISE THEM- 

 SELVES. For the enclosed $15 ship by 

 National Express six pairs Homers, equally 

 as fine birds as you sent on August 3 last 

 year, ten months ago, to Ben Barber of this 

 place. — J. B. H., New York. 



MANUAL WORTH FIVE DOLLARS. I 



am in receipt of your National Standard 

 Squab Book and am very much interested in 

 the work. I find that every time I pick it 

 up something new seems to appear. In fact, 

 the whole subject is covered, so far as I am 

 able to judge, and I consider the work well 

 worth five dollars instead of your dinky price 

 of only fifty cents. There is a squab plant 

 between here and San Francisco, four thou- 

 sand birds. Their output of squabs, twenty 

 dozen per week, all go to the Palace Hotel-, 

 San Francisco. I think prices for squabs 

 are lower here than in the East, still I be- 

 lieve there is money in it. — ^J. L. S., California. 



ONE YEAR'S SELECTION. The number 

 of _ breeders has increased to about fifty 

 pairs from those I purchased from you about 

 a year ago (fifteen pairs) and all are good 

 breeders, as I have been particular to raise 

 those from the best breeders only. — H. W, 

 C, Michigan. 



BREEDING THROUGH THE WINTER. 



Several months ago I purchased from you a 

 number of yoiur best Homers. They have 

 been doing fine, breeding right along through 

 this severe weather; in fact, my flock has more 

 than doubled. — L. Z., Ohio. 



OUR MANUAL OF GREAT HELP TO 



HIM. Some little time ago I sent for your 

 National Standard Squab Book and after- 

 wards for six dozen of your wood nappies. 

 Since then I have been keeping my pigeons 

 according to your instructions and with 

 great success. I had Some fine, pure-bred 

 Homers and have been getting squabs at 

 four weeks averaging twelve ounces. I have 

 had them up to IZfz ounces. You strongly 

 iu"ge the adoption of all methods that will 

 reduce the tim^e necessary to look after the 

 birds, and I heartily agree with you. — C. C. 

 C, California. 



FROM A NEW JERSEY CUSTOMER 



Anything new in the pigeon line ? If so 

 send it to me. I am raising lots of squabs. — 

 F. L. B., New Jersey.
