A FRIEND'S FLOCK DOING WELL. 



Enclosed tind express money order, I am 

 sure you will send the best birds. I find 

 the Manual very instructive. Mr. Connelley's 

 flock which he obtained of you is doing fine. 

 — C. L., South Carolina. 



STOCK THE FINEST HE HAS SEEN. 

 My home is in Buffalo, N. Y. I am stopping 

 in this city (Atlanta, Ga.), temporarily. It 

 is my intention to establish a squab plant in 

 the vicinity of Buffalo. I have been to 



look over Mr. s plant, which is very fine, 



and the stock is the finest I have seen. He 

 informed me that you furnished the stock 

 (five hundred pairs) , an entire equipment. 

 My present intention is to start with not 

 less than 300 pairs. — P. H., Georgia. 



IN FIRST-CLASS CONDITION. The birds 

 arrived yesterday in first-class condition, all 

 alive. Thanks for the extras. — R. W. B., 

 State of Washington. 



A NOVA SCOTIA CUSTOMER. The 



Homers arrived safely today, and I am very 

 much pleased with them. They are a fine lot 

 of birds. — J. H., Nova Scotia. 



KIND AND CORDIAL METHODS. Many 

 thanks for your kind and cordial methods of 

 doing business, and if I find that the conditions 

 here are suitable to squab raising, I shall be 

 wanting some more stock before long. So far 

 I am very well pleased, and the birds you sent 

 are certainly well worth the prices you quote. — 

 D.T. S., Kentucky. 



CHICKEN INDUSTRY NEEDS A MAN- 

 UAL LIKE OURS. The Manual sent me is the 

 most complete and concise work on the sub- 

 ject of squab raising I have ever read. I 

 doubt whether there is a book written on any 

 subject of its kind so complete in all its detail. 

 I would be willing to give most anything for a 

 like account of how to succeed with chickens. 

 If you know of any such work I would _ con- 

 sider it a personal favor if you would kindly 

 send me the title and where to get it. I am 

 glad to have in my possession such a book as 

 the Manual, it is a pleasure to read it. Of 

 couu-se it's business, but I think it wonderful 

 that you should give such valuable informa- 

 tion to the public. — J. H. J., Pennsylvania. 



SAME AS YOU SENT BEFORE. Enclosed 



you will find S15 for six pairs of your best 

 breeding Homers that breed white squabs, 

 the same as you sent before. — F. P., Virginia. 



FROM FIFTY DOLLARS TO FIFTY CENTS. 

 Please send to us as soon as possible 48 nap- 

 pies. We shall want 48 of your Extra Homers 

 as soon as these nappies reach us, and if con- 

 ditions prove favorable, hope to buy a thou- 

 sand birds. I think there must be money m 

 this business. I wrote a squab raiser in Iowa, 

 asking if he would show me through his farm. 



and he replied that he would for fifty dollars. 

 I enclose fifty cents for a National Standard 

 Squab Book, which kindly send me. — A. D., 

 Minnesota. 



MAKING MORE MONEY WITH SQUABS. 



The nappies have not yet come. I have quit 

 the railroad and gone into the squab business. 

 We are going to send for some of your Homers 

 soon and let what we have breed with a few 

 additions occasionally until the Homer trade 

 gets rooted. I am now making more with 

 pigeons than while working for the company, 

 or rather, I am making a good living and put- 

 ting in a large stock of pigeons. — S. D., Texas. 



OUR CLAIMS PROVEN TO HIS SATIS- 

 FACTION. Last February, 1903, I bought 

 a small lot of adult Homers from your com- 

 pany and am satisfied they are all you claim 

 for them. Being desirous of getting along 

 faster in the business, I have advertised for 

 additional capital in a New York City paper, 

 and have had nearly two dozen inquiries about 

 the industry. — A. D., New Jersey. 



A HUSBAND WAITS FOR THIS YOUNG 

 WOMAN. November, 1902, I bought twelve 

 pairs of your Homers; now I'm sorry to say 

 I must give up the idea of the squab business, 

 and wish to know if you care to buy them and 

 what you will pay. I have ninety birds, and 

 sold some last summer. I think your birds 

 have done very well. I would not have any- 

 thing but your Plymouth Rock Homers. — Miss 

 E. J. D., New York. 



A TEXAS WOMAN FINDS THEM EASY 

 TO RAISE. I have now (January 7, 1904), 

 raised one hundred from those I bought of you 

 (six pairs Extra sold December 11, 1902.) — 

 Mrs. R. M. H., Texas. 



ONE HUNDRED PAIRS IN MONTANA'S 

 COLD WEATHER. The squab breeders 

 arrived here all safe and well in spite of the 

 cold snap Monday noon. We are much 

 pleased with the flock. Nimiber is correct, 

 208 birds (only two casualties). They cer- 

 tainly are having a fine initiation to Montana 

 weather. The merciiry stood thirty-two 

 degrees below zero last night and has been 

 below since their arrival. — W. H., Montana. 



DEALERS ADVISE HIM TO BUY OF US. 



About a year ago I bought yotir Manual and 

 plans for a squab house. I have been study- 

 ing the book thoroughly and find it very 

 complete in every detail and "out of sight" as 

 compared with others I have seen. I am 

 compelled to move to Southern California and 

 will try squab raising. What discount do 

 you give on 300 pairs of your best birds? I 

 nave been somewhat used to stock raising, 

 including poultry. I am advised by dealers in 

 Los Angeles to get my stock from Boston, even 

 at the expense necessary. While no names 

 were mentioned, I presume they referred to
