A CITY SQUAB HOUSE. 



TWO YOUNG WOMEN TOO BUSY MAKING MONEY WITH SQUABS AND CHICKENS TO 

 WRITE A LONG LETTER. Please excuse our delay in writing i'ou as we are busy most every 

 minute of the day raising chickens f^r our winter layers, and they cause more work than the 

 pigeons, but we thought the two were a good combination, as we can sell everything we can 

 raise. There is a great demand here for squabs, and ours are fine, if I do say it myself. 



We are very much pleased with the last lot you sent. They are beauties. All our birds are 

 good workers. 



Sometime in the near future we will write and give you a little of our experience since we 

 have started in the squab business. This time of \'ear is a busy one for us, getting everything 

 going for the winter when prices are the highest. We are having much better success this year 

 than last. Excuse this delay and we will write later. — Miss H. L, A. and Miss E. E. S, 



FOUR DOLLARS AND EIGHTY CENTS A DOZEN FOR SQUABS IN SPOKANE. INSIST- 

 ENT DEMAND. The market for squabs here (Spokane") is good , and I am getting 40 cents apiece 

 for squabs. The demand is more than the squab raisers can furnish. I thought I would take a 

 sample of your birds, and they surely have proven good. — M. M., State of Washington. 



CANNOT SUPPLY THE DEMANDS FOR SQUABS IN THIS ALABAMA TOWN. i^Iy pigeons 

 are getting along fine. I cannot very well supply the demands here for squabs and may have to 

 order more Plymouth Rock Homers soon. Please write me at once as I would like to order as 

 soon as possible. — C, N., Alabama.
