STORIES OF SUCCESS WITH PLYMOUTH ROCK HOMERS 



ones. I have put up a large house for them. 

 The other one was not large enough, so when I 

 get them in a large place, I think I will have a 

 fine plant. — Mrs. M. K., Connecticut. 



ANOTHER WOMAN HAS INCREASED 

 HER FLOCK FROM 25 PAIRS TO 275 BIRD S 

 IN A YEAR. You will recall that I purchased 

 twenty-five pairs of breeding stock from you 

 about one year ago. They are all doing 

 nicely now and I have about two hundred and 

 seventy-five birds, all in fine condition. — Mrs, 

 J. F., Connecticut. 



GOING TO BRANCH OUT. My birds 

 bought of you are doing fine and I am going to 

 branch out into the business, I will move 

 from New Hampshire to Bridgewater, Mass., 

 in the spring and build a large house and put 

 in all your birds. — H. G., New Hampshire. 



LARGE FLOCK RAISED FROM A START 

 WITH SIX PAIRS EXTRA. I would like one 

 hundred bands from you, as I need them now 

 for young birds. The six pairs Extra I 

 bought of you March 23, 1903, have done fine, 

 and I have a large flock raised from them. — 

 L. B. R. B., Massachusetts. 



BREEDING ALL THE TIME IN MAINE. I 

 have got about one hundred birds now, all 

 raised from those I bought from you last 

 spring. They are all right, healthy and breed- 

 ing all the time.- — J. W. S., Maine. 



GONE TO WORK IN A NEW HOME IN 

 DEAD EARNEST. The nappies arrived all 

 right, and we are well pleased with them,- 

 Our birds have gone to work in their new 

 forty-foot house in dead earnest. Enclosed 

 please find Pacific Express money order, for 

 which please ship us by express No. 1 Ply- 

 mouth Rock Homers and Extra Plymouth 

 Rock Homers as specified. Kindly rush this 

 order. — J. A. P., Missouri. 



WORKING RIGHT ALONG IN ALABAJVIA. 



Enclosed you will find a post-office order 

 amounting to $15 for which please send me 

 six pairs of Extra Homers. This is my second 

 order and I will expect some extra fine birds. 

 The birds purchased of you last February are 

 worMng right along. — B. W., Alabama. 



THIS MAN HAD SOME FINE HOMERS, 

 BUT WHEN HE SAW THE PLYMOUTH 

 ROCKS HE HAD TO WILT. Our birds are 

 doing fine and breeding rapidly. There is a 

 man about one and a half miles from our place 

 who thought he could not be beat with his 

 crowd of pigeons, but I invited him to my 

 place and showed him my birds. He gave in 

 rijght away; he was not in it alongside of my 

 birds. TTie size of my squabs at three or fotir 

 weeks set him a-guessing. He wanted to buy 



of me right away, but no, I told him he should 

 purchase from Boston, for I did not have 

 enough myself yet. I have a pair I do not 

 think four months old yet, and they set and 

 have a pair of splendid squabs out just burst- 

 ing with flesh. A person would be surprised 

 to see the flock that I have out of the small 

 number of birds that I bought last fall in 

 September. — J. B., New York. 



FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS AND THE 

 BIRDS WERE QUICKLY NEST BUILDING. 



Please pardon my delay in not announcing the 

 safe arrival of the thirteen pairs of fine Homer 

 pigeons, I followed your directions as near 

 as I could, and I am glad to say the birds are 

 already laying and building nests. I returned 

 the basket today.* I understand that my 

 brother ordered twelve pairs of birds for me, 

 but thirteen came. Please accept thanks for 

 the extra pair. — Mrs, D. W, S., Georgia. 



STARTED IN 1902 WITH OUR BIRDS AND 

 HAS A FINE FLOCK NOW. In October, 

 1902, you sent me at Oak Park, Illinois, forty- 

 eight pairs. I camiC to this place two years 

 ago and now have my lofts fiUed and am ready 

 to sell, I have three hundred pairs mated and 

 at work. They are as nice birds as you sent 

 me. — H. W, C, Michigan. 



BIRDS PROVING THEMSELVES VERY 

 SUCCESSFUL. Being pleased with the 

 Homers you sent us and finding we have room 

 in our building for another dozen birds, we 

 forward you an express money order for 

 $16.92, for which forward six pairs of Extra 

 Plymouth Rock Homers and two dozen nest- 

 bowls. The birds are proving themselves 

 very successful. Already we have five pairs 

 on nests. — I. D., New York. 



INSTRUCTIONS CLEAR— AND PEOPLE 

 WHO FOLLOW THEM ARE SUCCESSFIH., 



I have your instruction book, the National 

 Standard Squab Book. It is the clearest 

 thing in the way of a guide book that I have 

 ever seen. — C. F. W., Oregon. 



STARTED WITH EIGHT PAIRS EXTRA 

 AND NOW HAS FORTY-FOUR, Enclosed 

 find fifty cents for which please send me at 

 once that much leg-banding material. I need 

 the leg-banding material badly. My birds are 

 just simply doing fine. I have eighty-eight 

 fine birds now. I think that is doing finely 

 for the time I have had them, and had such a 

 few to start on. I started with eight pairs. 

 — Miss S. S. G., Louisiana. 



THE VERY FINEST. The pigeons arrived 

 on time and in good shape. We had some 

 very fine birds but no better than these. 

 Thank you for your prompt attention. — A. E. 

 B., Pennsylvania.
