MORE STORIES OF SUCCESS 



1908 



KNOWS BY EXPERIENCE THERE IS 

 MONEY IN PIGEONS. MANUAL " AWFUL 



GOOD." I trust you will pardon my tardi- 

 ness in answering your letter with reference 

 to the naw National Standard Squab Book. 

 Of course I want this book. I do not send 

 for these books through any idle curiosity. 

 I have kept pigeons and I know there is money 

 in them if fliey are properly looked after. I 

 want to get back in the pigeon business after 

 the first of the year, and intend to do $o, and 

 I want to start with the best birds I can get. 

 I think the National Standard Squab Book 

 very fine. It is *' awful good." More 

 pleasure and satisfaction than I can express. 

 Don't know of any improvements you could 

 make, unless you went ahead and said the 

 same thing over again. I enclose 20 cents in 

 stamps for your new 1907-1908 Manual. 

 I also send by this mail, under separate 

 cover, the old Manual. 



I intended to purchase some of your birds 

 when I sent for your book, but conditions 

 have been such that it has been impossible. 

 Can't say exactly when, but will buy some of 

 your birds soon. 



The main reason I haven't bought some of 

 your birds is because I haven't had any 

 place to keep them.. I have kept pigeons all 

 my life, know a great deal about their habits, 

 and above all, I am very fond of them. How- 

 ever, I had to dispose of all the birds I had 

 about 18 months ago, and since that time 

 I haven't had the room to keep them.^ I 

 had to dispose of them on accotint of having 

 to leave Atlanta. My lease on my present 

 home runs out about January 10, 1908, at 

 which time I expect to buy me a place with 

 large premises, where I can keep pigeons,^ as 

 I made a good deal of money on then during 

 my school days, and believe I can do so now 

 as a side line if nothing more, — M, R. L., 

 Georgia. 



PLEASED WITH YOUR BUSINESS 

 METHODS AND BUYING STEADILY. I 

 have never seen a more likely lot of pigeons, 



and as I have room enough for another 10 

 pairs, I enclose P. O. order and I hope that 

 before the next batch arrives I shall be ready 

 for fifty more pairs. I am very much 

 pleased with the manner in which the Ply- 

 mouth Rock Squab Co. does bxisiness. — 

 R. W, J.. Virginia. 



MAKING THEM PAY AS HE GOES ALONG. 



I now have seventy. One year ago last 

 March I bought six pairs from you. I want 

 a better start before I sell very many, but I 

 make them pay for their feed. Your Manual 

 is "the goods." — D. E., Illinois. 



HIS HOMERS LOOK LIKE PYGMIES 

 ALONGSIDE PLYMOUTH ROCK EXTRAS. 

 I have 60 Homers, but they look Uke pygmies 

 alongside of your birds. — F. W. D. 



OUR HOMERS MORE THAN WE CLAIM 

 FOR THEM. Your Homers are more than 

 you claim for them. At least mine are. 



They are models of beauty and are very large. 

 I was skeptical at first, but I am thoroughly 

 convinced that the Homer is the only bird. 

 Some of my Homers are as large as the white 

 Italian birds that I purchased from you. 

 The squabs are fine large fellows and I am 

 sure that a nice flock of Homers beats a drove 

 of chickens for meat, either for home or 

 market use. I shall take pleasure in recom- 

 mending your birds to my friends and 

 prospective buyers. Please fmd enclosed 50 

 cents for another Maniial. — M. A., Kansas. 



HOMER HEN SITTING ON EGGS. 



PIGEONS CRAVE GREEN FOOD. I 



bought of you June 20, 1906, 24 pairs of your 

 Homers. I have lost three birds, all of my 

 raising, and now have 100 pairs (April, 1907). 

 They all seem to crave something green to 

 eat. What would you advise? Shall I feed 

 them any green foods? I am giving them 

 kaf!ir com. a few peas, wheat and cracked 

 corn. — F. M. P., Georgia. 



Answer. Yes, throw some lettuce or any 

 green leaves on to the squab-house floor 

 occasionally, say twice a week, and let them 

 peck away at them to suit themselves. 



WISHES TO GET PIGEONS OF SUPERIOR 

 QUALITY. You may hear from a gentleman, 

 Mr John Fyle. Send him some of yorr 

 literatiure, as 1 will always recommend your 

 stock to all who expect to go into the squab 

 ':)usiness. This Mr. Fyle has fiigeons, but of 

 an inferior quality, and having been told 

 about mine, wants some like I have. — R. S., 

 Maryland.
