you.—W. W. D., Minnesota. (Correct. We 
have shipped to California within the past few 
years thousands of pairs of Homers and at all 
places in California where squabs are sold and 
eaten, the product of our Homers is wanted 
because they are the best in the market there.)

HE IS PLEASED WITH US AND OUR 
BIRDS. Iam so much pleased with the birds 
I got from you and the bright prospects of the

The last shipment of squab breeders reached 
me in splendid condition and are very fine 
birds. am very much pleased with the selec- 
tion and your good judgment, All your stock, 
birds, supplies and dealings with me in the past 
have been so satisfactory that you may expect 
more orders from me and my friends in the 
future. I have raised and sold pigeons and 
pet stack for years, so of course am capable of 
judging good stock when _I see it, and I con- 
sider your squab-breedivg Homers the best that 
can be bred for successful market squab breed-

much success in this worthy business.—L. E.

I like 
my pigeons better every day. They. are so. 
tame now they will eat out of my hand.—Miss 
V.P., New York. 
THREE MONTHS’ WORK. We are going 
to. move this week to California. The six 
pairs I bought of you in March, three months 
ago, have all nested and done fine, and I have 
raised 24 young birds from them.—Mrs. H. B. 
S., Massachusetts. 
ALL THE WAY TO: VANCOUVER. I 
received my birds on June 8, and all of them 
were in fine condition except one hen, which 
seems to be a little stupid. My express 
charges were all right. Thank you for the 
free birds. Hoping that I will be able to send 
for a few more soon.—G., A. L., Vancouver. 
HAS SEEN HOW OUR BIRDS WORK IN 
HIS TOWN. I am sending you herewith 
money order for $31.50, for which please send 
me 12 pairs-of your Extra Plymouth Rock 
Homers, and two of your drinkers, same as you 
sent me before. I have seen two different lots 
of your Homers in this city, and although I 
have some good ones that are rapid breeders 
and raise large squabs, I am so much im- 
ressed with the work that Mr. Barrett’s Homers 
purchased of you) are doing, that I have gone 
NATIONAL STANDARD SQUAB BOOK 
to work and fitted up two more breeding pens 
to accommodate some of your stock.—W. H. 
M., Massachusetts. 
ALL AT WORK IN SIX WEEKS. Who- 
ever took the pair of pigeons from the basket 
must have been an expert in determining the 
sex and mates, as every one of them, that is, 
twelve females, have eggs and are setting, 
Don't you think this is se evidence that 
two pigeons never were taken from. the basket 
during transit? I will make no claim against 
the express company. I feel very positive 
they are not at fault. The shipment reached 
me six weeks ago.—C. S., Ohio. 
INCREASING HIS FLOCK. The twelve 
ce of breeders that I bought from you last 
all are beginning to lav very nicely and I am 
very much pleased with them. Please send 
me six more pairs, in payment for which you 
auld pad money order enclosed.—H. W., New 
ork, 
A LARGE SHIPMENT TO CALIFORNIA. 
I received all the birds (312 pairs) without one 
being dead, and the lot seems to be in splendid 
condition, on the whole, after such a long 
journey. It seems wonderful to me that none 
were dead with all-the rough handling they 
must have received on such.a long journey, 
The birds are beauties and attract a great deal 
of attention.—P. W.. California. 
QUICK WORK HATCHING. The Homers 
I got of you are doing finely; received May 1, 
five weeks ago, and I have a dozen or more 
squabs from the dozen pairs.—j. F., New 
Jersey, : 
FINEST HE EVER SAW. The Extra 
Homers arrived today in first-class shape, and 
are the finest I ever saw.—L. C. Y., Maryland. 
UNABLE TO FILL ORDERS FOR HOM- 
ERS. The writer has been engaged in selling 
Homer pigeons for squab breeders for the past 
several months, but my stock is now almost 
completely exhausted and I am unable to fill 
my orders. Have just received an.order from 
Hot Springs, Arkansas, but as I make it a rule 
not to attempt to fill orders for birds which I 
do not have in my own lofts, have declined 
the order and referred the customer to your 
company. He wants fifty pairs, and would 
suggest that you get into correspondence with 
him. Trusting that you may be able to get 
the business.—G. C. S., Ohio.
