LETTERS FROM CUSTOMERS 
1906 
STORIES OF SUCCESS ON THIS PAGE ARE NEW. THEY WERE RECEIVED BY 
THE PLYMOUTH ROCK SQUAB COMPANY OF BOSTON IN NINE MONTHS OF 1906. 
to you in the first place, but he bought about 
60 pairs from a New Jersey dealer. He 
showed him a letter that was supposed to have 
come from a man that bought birds of you, 
saying that he didn’t want any more of them. 
But now he sees the difference when he has 
‘nem side by side. Mr. Webster, my next 
dyor neighbor, is so well pleased with the 
vay mine are doing that he is going to send 
cor a few pairs this fall. I would if I could, 
and had the room. 
_T now have 16 pairs of the Plymouth Rock 
birds. My pen is 2 bea to any one that wants 
to see the birds before they send to you for 
breeders. I thank you for the fine birds you 
sent to Mr. Tevis. It shows that I didn’t 
exaggerate your ability, to send six pairs or 
100 pairs of fine birds —D. C. T., New Jersey. 
FINEST FLOCK HE HAD EVER SEEN. 
A year ago to-day we received eighteen pairs 
of your Homers. Our flock now numbers 
nearly 100 pairs and all are doing fine. We 
have sold a few pairs at $1.25 per pair, and 
have had any amount of inquiries after squabs. 
We have had a number of fanciers up to look 
at the flock, and all seem to think they are 
an exceptionally fine lot of birds. One 
notleman who keeps an excellent lot of 
imported birds said they were the finest flock 
he had. ever seen, which speaks well for your 
birds.—B. B., Michigan. 
BEST BIRDS IN HIS CITY. Find en- 
closed: $16.34 for which to send me a dozen 
of your Homers, a:dozen of nest bowls, and 
two feet of aluminum tubing. ‘Would have 
liked to send an order sooner but had no 
piece to keep them. My birds are doing 
ine. We have moved into a larger place 
where I can let my birds out in a wire cage. 
Your birds are the best I ever saw and the 
-only ones I ever intend to keep. I have sold 
off all my young stock so I have more room 
for the others.—J. B. T., Wisconsin. 
SPLENDID WORK WITH SPLENDID 
BIRDS. I wish to advise you now (August, 
1906) of the splendid luck I have had with 
the six pairs of birds purchased from you last 
May and which were received at my home 
on May 17. 
These birds, within a week after arrival, 
commenced to construct their nests and, out 
of the six pairs, five began hatching within 
two weeks and every egg produced a squab. 
Two squabs weighed at the age of four weeks 
and two days, 16 ounces, after plucking, and 
the remainder weighed from eight to 12 
ounces. The two squabs, weighing 16 ounces, 
were the largest I ever saw and I thought you 
would be interested in knowing the weights. 
On account of not having room for any 
more birds, I am killing the squabs as they 
mature but would have liked to have mated 
the two large squabs, as I believe that their 
offspring would have_averaged 16 ounces 
each — 8. P. N., New Jersey. 
DOUBLED IN THREE MONTHS. En- 
closed find money order for $1.70 for which 
please send leg band outfit. The birds I 
bought of you in April are doing fine. They 
have doubled themselves.—W. A., Missouri. 
DOING WELL _IN CANADA. Saw your 
advertisement in R. P. Journal, “Squab book 
free.” Anything new in it? I have your 
book of 1904 with two dozen your Homers, 
They are doing fine. What would you sell 
me one dozen more?—P. I. B., Quebec. 
ORDERS FOR A FRIEND. I enclose you 
herewith a check for $30. Please ship to 
enclosed address 12 pairs of your Extra 
Plymouth Rock Homers. Be sure to send 
him some nice ones. -. 
Those we bought of you some time back 
are doing nicely and if these show up as well 
I think that I will be able to send you some 
more orders soon.—S. W.

HAS DEALT WITH THE FAKIRS. The 
pigeons that youshipped to us have arrived 
in fine condition and the best of health. We 
are shipping back to you, via American 
Express the wicker basket in which you sent 
our pigeons. Also our many thanks for the 
trouble you took in selecting the different 
colored pairs. . : : 
I wish to say that the pigeons are beauti- 
fully mated, because one pair have started 
in business already, the hen having laid two 
eggs, and all the others have showed promis- 
ing signs of mating. As 
After having dealt with poultry fakirs and 
receiving their treatment, I fully appreciate 
your kind treatment which is so unlike that 
of these fakirs, but your endeavors are not in 
vain, as I soon expect to order some more 
eae Your treatment has encouraged me. 
have provided an excellent house and pen 
forthem. Thank you for your interest shown 
in this matter.—L. J. H., Illinois. 
IN THE BLUE GRASS STATE. Could 
you kindly tell mé where I could get some 
white Homers? The Plymouth Rock Homers 
T., Georgia. 
New laws passed a year ago by the legislatures of Massachusetts and New York forbid the 
sale of quail except in the months of November and December. 
for every quail found in the iands of any marketman or restaurant keeper. 
The penalty is a heavy fine 
Quail are no 
longer found on bills of fare in these two states except around Thanksgiving and Christmas. 
Sauabs are on the bills of fare all the year everywhere. 
Other states, it is said by sportemen, 
will follow Massachusetts and New York with a similar game law.
