SUPPLEMENT 
BEAUTIFUL BIRDS GOT TO HIM QUICK. 
Birds received yesterday noon, all in fine con- 
dition. Put them in their house last night. 
All took a good bath this morning. I thank 
vou for your promptness and for sending me 
such beautiful birds. I had not expected 
birds so soon, but was ready.—P. M. R., 
Kansas. 
SQUABS SUPERIOR TO POULTRY. I 
am an old pigeon and squab and poultry 
man. I have made money with squabs, and 
I think they are superior to poultry.—H. S., 
Massachusetts. 
FLORIDA PURCHASER DELIGHTED. 
Pigeons arrived O. Saturday night. 
I am delighted with them, and as I have fol- 
lowed your instructions as to building house, 
pen and other articles, the birds seem to be 
at home.—M. F. B., Florida. 
THEY ARE BEAUTIES. Received pig- 
eons all O. K. They are beauties and have 
begun to nest.—F. M., Ohio. 
A TEXAS CUSTOMER’S APPRECIA- 
TION. Your second shipment of Homer 
igeons was received yesterday and, like the 
Brot, in excellent condition, and I am more 
than pleased with them. Although my deal- 
ings with you, when compared to some of 
your large customers, are rather insignifi- 
cant, I can’t allow this opportunity to pass 
without expressing to you my thanks and 
appreciation for your filling of my orders. 
For square dealings, conducted solely along 
sound business lines, you are without a peer 
in the pigeon world today. I most heartily 
recommend you to all—S, A. F., Texas. 
(The writer of this letter is a well-known 
Texas business man, connected with one of 
the largest corporations in that State.) 
WON SUCCESS ALSO BY DOING AS WE 
DO; NEVER HAD A SICK BIRD. Some 
time ago I bought a dozen pairs of Homer 
igeons from you and paid $20 for them, and 
want to get about four or five dozen more 
pair, and would like to know the price you 
ask for them at present, so I can send the 
money at once. I find your book on the 
pigeon industry covers the pigeon business 
in good shape. I have always found when 
you start to make a new pie or cake, follow 
the directions of the people that have made 
a success. Consequently, I have not had a 
sick pigeon since I received them some eight 
months ago. The only difference I made 
was in the house, and in that the only dif- 
ference was not to make it quite as tight as 
they are made in your locality. Hoping to 
hear from you soon.—J. W. C., California. 
ANOTHER WOMAN PLEASED. The 
birds came on the afternoon_of the 6th. 
They are all very handsome. Some of them 
are beautiful, You will be surprised to learn 
131 
that in less than 24 hours two pairs were 
nesting. They have been very busy all day. 
—Mrs. R. L, U., New York. 
INCREASING FAST. Enclosed find $1.70 
for leg band outfit. I am receiving excel- 
lent results from the birds and they are in- 
creasing so fast that I find it necessary to 
band them.—H. C. K., Maryland. 
OUR HOMERS ADVERTISE THEM- 
SELVES. For the enclosed $15 ship by 
National Express six pairs Homers, equally 
as fine birds as you sent on August 3 last 
year, ten months ago, to Ben Barber of this 
place.—J. B. H., New York. 
MANUAL WORTH FIVE DOLLARS. I 
am in_receipt of your National Standard 
Squab Book and am very much interested in 
the work. I find that every time I pick it 
up something new seems to appear. In fact, 
the whole subject is covered, so far as I am 
able to judge, and I consider the work well 
worth five dollars instead of your dinky price 
of only fifty cents. There is a squab plant 
between here and San Francisco, four thou- 
sand birds. Their output of squabs, twent 
dozen_per week, all go to the Palace Hotel, 
San Francisco. I think prices for squabs 
are lower here than in the East, still I be- 
lieve there is money in it.—J. L. S., California. 
ONE YEAR’S SELECTION. The number 
of breeders has increased to about fifty 
pairs from those I purchased from you about 
a year ago (fifteen pairs) and all are good 
breeders, as [ have been particular to raise 
those from the best breeders only.—H. W. 
C., Michigan. 
BREEDING THROUGH THE WINTER. 
Several months ago I purchased from you a 
number of your best Homers, They have 
been doing fine, breeding right along through 
this severe weather; in fact, my flock has more. 
than doubled.—L. Z., Ohio. 
OUR MANUAL OF GREAT HELP TO 
M. Some little time ago I sent for your 
National Standard Squab Book and after- 
wards for six dozen of your wood nappies. 
Since then I have been keeping my pizeans 
according to your instructions and with 
great success. I had some fine, pure-bred 
Homers and have been getting squabs at 
four weeks averaging twelve ounces. I have 
had them up to 134 ounces. You strongly 
urge the adoption of all methods that will 
reduce the time necessary to look after the 
birds, and I heartily agree with you.—C. C. 
C., California. 
FROM A NEW JERSEY CUSTOMER. 
Anything new in the pigeon line? If so, 
send it to me. I am raising lots of squabs.— 
F. L. B., New Jersey.
