STORIES OF SUCCESS WITH PLYMOUTH ROCK HOMERS 
THREE HUNDRED PAIRS SHIPPED TO 
THIS CUSTOMER, EVERY BIRD IN THE 
BEST OF CONDITION. Your favor of the 
11th inst. received on my return home Friday 
night, and would have been answered but for 
the fact that I had quite a busy time, partially 
through outside business and partly on ac- 
count of arrival of the birds. I wish to tender 
my. most hearty thanks for the manner in 
which you have carried out your part of the 
transaction. Every one of the 312 pairs of 
birds seems to be perfect in every respect, and 
they have already been admired by every one 
who has seen them. The twelve pairs Extra 
which you so generously presented me for my 
nephew have been forwarded to him, and I 
feel sure will greatly please him. I shall see 
him possibly Monday next week on my next 
trip, and will thorqughly instruct him. Once 
in a great while I get to Boston. Next time I 
am there I shall do myself the honor of calling 
on you to see your plant, so I can enlarge mine 
on the same lines or at least get some ideas of 
that end. Thank you again most heartily — 
G. F., New York. 
GOOD LUCK WITH THEM IN NEBRASKA. 
I bought twelve Homer pigeons, or six pairs, 
of you nearly a year ago, with which I have 
had fairly good luck, and I may order more 
birds of you in the future, as I intend enlarg- 
ing my plant soon. But I want to ask a 
favor of you today. It is this: Will you give 
me, on the enclosed card, the name of the 
tanning company to whom you sell your pig- 
eon manure’?—L. S. M., Nebraska.- 
BIRDS BREEDING WELL. Please find 
enclosed express money order for $5.34, for 
which ship me by Wells-Fargo Express four 
dozen nest-bowls and leg-band outfits. My 
birds are doing very well. 
squabs.—H. H.S., New York. 
SECOND ORDER TO COME BECAUSE OF 
GOOD WORK IN MARYLAND. We enclose 
you herewith check for $11.52. Will you 
kindly send us at your earliest convenience 
twelve dozen nest-bowls? We are glad to 
report that the pigeons received from you a 
few months ago are doing wes and we expect 
to order more shortly.—M. P. F., Maryland. 
THIRD ORDER FROM INDIANA MAN. 
Please-ship me at once twelve pairs. I en- 
close draftf rsame. This is my third order.— 
V.N., Indiana. 
SECOND ORDER FROM ILLINOIS WOM- 
. Please find enclosed express order for 
$30. Send me twelve pairs of Extra Plymouth 
Rock Homers. This is my second order.— 
Mrs. J. W. G.., Illinois. 
A MINISTER ENCOURAGED TO GO 
AHEAD. The pigeons I purchased of you 
I have twelve. 
last August (nine months ago) are doing well, 
but I have so far found it impossible to go into 
the house for tive minutes or_so without all 
the birds leaving the nests. Can you tell me 
how to obviate this? Will you be kind 
enough to inform me about how much money 
it will take to build a house including heating 
eect and flying pens in first-class shape for 
fteen hundred pairs of birds? You will 
greatly oblige me.—Rev. L.C.H.A., New York. 
SECOND ORDER; FIRST SHIPMENT 
WORKING WELL. Enclosed please find 
Adams Express money order for $15.96 to 
pay for six pairs Extra Plymouth Rock Hom- 
ers for squab raising, and one dozen bowls. 
The birds first bought are doing well, and I 
am well pleased with them.—L. D. P., Illinois. 
SECOND ORDER WITHIN ONE MONTH. 
Herewith find draft for $40.75, for which 
please send me two crates of your Homer 
pigeons and one drinking fountain, by Ameri- 
can Express, to my address. This is my 
second order within one month. I am weil 
pleased with the first shipment.—L. D., Iowa. 
GOOD SHOWING MADE BY OUR BIRDS 
IN ONE MONTH AFTER ARRIVAL. I am 
having such good luck I thought I would 
write you about it. Just one month ago to- 
day the 9th of May, I received my thirteen 
pairs of birds from you. I now have eight 
squabs from four pairs, and six more pairs 
setting. The two hens that were in bad shape 
upon arrival are getting better, but have not 
nested yet, and the thirteenth hen I think is 
going ight from too hard driving by the cock. 
He drove her all the time and pulled out half 
her feathers, but he has mated with another 
hen now and doesn't bother any. What do. 
you think of this for so short atime? Ihave 
as fine a home for them as can be built—built, 
just as you say with a fly ten by ten by twenty 
feet, with a big load of lake sand for the floor, 
and keep the squab house cleaner than lots of 
kitchens I know of.—C. G. A., Iowa. 
EXCELLENT BIRDS AND EXCELLENT 
CARE FROM MELROSE TO NEW MEXICO. 
The pigeons arrived safely last Saturday even- 
ing; each and every one of them was in perfect 
trim and must have had excellent care on the 
way, as not one seemed in the least discom- 
posed by the six days’ journey. Your kind- 
ness in sending us the extra pair I do assure 
you is most highly appreciated. We are 
delighted with the bids and as soon as I return 
from my summer and fall trip, will send you a 
large order.— Mrs. T. H., New Mexico. 
IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. You 
will find stamps to the amount of $2 for which 
kindly mail me one hundred aluminum. V-. 
shaped leg bands for pigeons. I am glad to. 
tell you that the pigeons are doing nicely. —
