STORIES OF SUCCESS WITH PLYMOUTH ROCK HOMERS 



MANUAL PRACTICAL AND BEST. Your 

 Manual came to hand and can see that it is 

 a book everybody should have who may be 

 interested in pigeons. I have had birds for 

 eight years and read all kinds of books. I 

 think yours is the best which can be had, — 

 H. E. E., Pennsylvania. 



HIGHLY SPOKEN OF IN VIRGINIA. 



Will you kindly send me your price list of 

 books and circulars giving your prices, etc. 

 Being very much interested in this industry 

 and expecting soon to go into business, I 

 wish to get your prices and information, I 

 have heard your company spoken very highly 

 of here in Virginia and wish to get acquainted 

 with you. — J, W, K., Virginia. 



A GUARANTEE WHICH GUARANTEES. 



The two sick birds are improving and are 

 almost as lively as the others. Your offer 

 to make them good in case they did not get 

 better shows that your guarantee means 

 something, A good many persons have seen 

 them and all agree that they are far ahead 

 of the ordinary run of pigeons, and any one 

 who understands anything at all about live- 

 stock of any kind can see it at a glance, — 

 J, G,, Pennsylvania. 



A CUSTOMER IN THE BERMUDA 

 ISLANDS GETS HIS HOMERS IN GOOD 

 ORDER. The pigeons arrived here all safe 

 on Monday, December 5. One of them is a 

 little dull, and we have separated it from the 

 others and hope that it will get all right. — 

 G, S., Bermuda Islands.

 THE CALL IN JERSEY CITY. Enclosed

 press, If these are satisfactory and as nice

 City, I will want more shortly, as I have ac- 

 commodations for about one hundred pairs. 

 — F. E. F., New Jersey. 



BIRDS DID BETTER THAN HE FIG- 

 URED WHEN HE STARTED. Can you 



favor me with the address of some squab 

 buyer in the vicinity of Syracuse, New York? 

 The birds I got of you a year ago are doing 

 finely and surpassed my expectations. Am 

 having to enlarge again. — W. L., New York. 



EXPRESS DELIVERY BEAT THE MAIL.

 send me the names and addresses of some of 

 the firms in New York City and other places 

 which deal in squabs and pigeons, I have 

 now about two hundred pigeons. I got a 

 dozen pigeons from you to start with in June, 

 1903. What is the price of squabs and old 

 pigeons now? — J, G. G., Pennsylvania, 



SQUABS ARE A "TERRIBLE SIZE." 



My flock is increasing rapidly and I must 

 provide for them, I also inform you that 

 my birds are doing finely and breeding 

 steadily right along and are very healthy. 

 Our squabs are of a terrible size. Any one 

 would be astonished to see them at toiur 

 weeks old. — A. B., New York. 



PLYMOUTH ROCK HOMER USED AT 

 THE CHRISTENING OF A FOUR-MASTED 



SCHOONER DOWN IN MAINE. I write to 

 say that the Homer pigeon which you sent 

 to Mr. E. R. Chapman a few days ago, was 

 uesd at the christening of the new four- 

 masted schooner " Augusta W. Snow " which 

 was launched at the yard of Messrs. E. and 

 I. K. Stetson this forenoon, and was released 

 at 11.20 a,m, today, and if she turns up at 

 home I shall be very glad if you will inform 

 me of the time, etc. The following inscrip- 

 tion was attached to her leg, written in in- 

 delible ink on a piece of linen — -" Bangor, 

 Maine, Christening Pigeon from launching 

 of Schooner Augusta W. Snow, May b, 1905," 

 — W. B. S., Maine. 



WELL SATISFIED AFTER A YEAR OF 



BREEDING. It is one year ago last Decem- 

 ber- that 1 received thirty-six pairs of your 

 pigeons. I am weU satisfied with the results. 

 They have demonstrated without doubt they 

 are breeders all right. I have sold a few 

 d jzen squabs, eaten a couple of dozen and in- 

 creased our flock by many dozens. I have 

 as fine lot of pigeons as one would wish and 

 they are producing squabs right along. The 

 pigeons I raised last year are producing birds 

 and are an unusually fine lot of pigeons, — 

 li. P,, New York. 



A GOOD START IN THE FIRST SIX 

 MONTHS. The pigeons I bought of you in 

 July have done finely, I think I got seven 

 pairs and now (February) I have close to 

 twenty-five pairs and the young ones have 

 begun to lay now, I see that they will mul- 

 tiply very fast. — T. E, G., Alabama.
