STORIES OF SUCCESS WITH PLYMOUTH ROCK HOMERS 
certainly have a good word for you when an 
occasion offers.—R. H. §., Kentucky. 
STARTED WITH EIGHTY PAIRS EX- 
TRA, BRED THEM TO FIVE HUNDRED 
PAIRS, What will you give me for my en- 
tire stock of Homer pigeons? I have from 
one thousand to twelve hundred birds, all 
strong and healthy, and from your best stock 
of birds, I am compelled to sell for the 
Teason that I have taken this hotel and it 
takes all my time to look after it. Hope to 
hear from you_by return mail.—H. C. 
F., Missouri. ee customer started with 
eighty pairs of our Extra Plymouth Rock 
Homers) 
HAS 150 PAIRS OF THE FINEST HOM- 
ERS IN THE STATE OF COLORADO. About 
a year and one-half ago I bought fifty pairs 
of your Homer pigeons. I have now one 
hundred and fifty pairs of the finest Homers 
in Colorado. Fifty pairs are the original 
ones that I got from you; the rest I have 
saved from my young ones,—D., L., Colorado. 
BOTHERED BY MICE, I wrote you that 
my birds were not doing well. Since writ- 
ing the same two hens are setting, and from 
the amount of driving going on I hope to 
have them all at work in a few weeks. Since 
my last letter to you I have been setting 
traps and have caught seven or eight mice. 
I suppose that is what has been bothering 
them.—F. H. M., Tennessee. 
DEATH OF AN OLD AND VALUED 
CUSTOMER. My brother-in-law having died 
very suddenly in New York, three weeks 
ago, where he had gone a few days on busi- 
ness, his: squabbery is left without any one to 
carry it on. The Homers he got of you two 
summers ago, in-1903, two dozen pairs, have 
done very well indeed, owing to the excellent 
care he gave them. They were for his own 
pleasure, so he has not sold any squabs, but 
used them for the table and to send to friends. 
I should think there are nearly two hundred 
birds in the two pens at present. What 
prices should I ask for them? I have writ- 
ten to you knowing what confidence my 
brother-in-law had in your judgment, and 
that under the‘ circumstances you could help 
me dispose ofthe pigeons advantageously.— 
Miss G..M., Maine. 
TREATED FINELY— SQUARE DEAL- 
ING. In reply to my inquiry I received your 
answer which was very satisfactory, and 
have shown it to some of my friends who 
thought that I had been fooled in buying of 
you. They now think that I have been 
treated finely by you. I will say that I ap- 
preciate your square dealing and will speak 
a- good. word for you, as there are quite a 
number here that are going into the busi- 
ness, who have been watching the results of 
mine.—W. W., Rhode Island. 
STARTED WITH FIVE HUNDRED 
COMMON PIGEONS AND MADE A FAIL- 
URE. A short time ago we put up a build- 
ing after the plans which I purchased of you, 
and put in five hundred and twenty common 
pigeons. Since then we have discovered 
that we made a mistake. The flock is q 
failure in more ways than one, We got one 
hundred and sixty-two pairs of birds from a 
party we did not know, and the birds were 
sick when we got them. We received them 
on a Saturday afternoon, and on Monday 
they were dying. After losing “quite a few, 
the cause of which we were not able to ascer- 
tain, we have finally decided to start over 
again. We are going to put in Homers and 
start on a more cautious scale. We are go- 
ing to get rid of all these birds, clean out the 
building and start anew. We have tried 
the common pigeons and have been convinced 
that they are not the right stock. As we 
are new in the business we have a great deal 
to learn, and will have to get our informa- 
tion from those who we are sure do know. 
Remember, we are willing to pay for the in- 
formation. If there is any charge please 
name the price and we will remit. e are 
beginners and would like to make a success 
of the business, and do not expect to get for 
nothing information that has probably cost 
some one both time and money.—J. D. C., 
Pennsylvania. 
Answer: We do not think you read our 
Manual before buying your common pigeons, 
or if you did, what we say about common 
pigeons there must have escaped your atten- 
tion. Common pigeons are useless in com- 
parison with Plymouth Rock Homers, and it 
is unwise to experiment with them. 
GEORGIA PREACHER FINDS THEM 
SPLENDID. Enclosed I send you post- 
office money order, for which please send me 
one leg band outfit. The birds you sent me 
are doing splendid.—Rev. L. H. H., Georgia. 
SECOND SHIPMENT—FIRST LOT IS 
HARD AT WORK. Enclosed find express 
money order for $20. Please express to my 
address twelve pairs Homer pigeons. The 
first lot you expressed to me is_hard ‘at 
work and making fine headway.—G. F. T., 
Alabama. : 
INCREASED FROM TWELVE PAIRS 
TO TWO HUNDRED PAIRS IN TWENTY 
MONTHS. I have somewhat about four 
hundred pigeons that are most all bred from 
your best stock. They are a nice lot of-birds:

Plymouth Rock Homers twenty months ago.
