send some literature to address of gentleman 
enclosed, descriptive of the squab business, 
and give him prices on same. thave been 
talking with him in regard to the business and 
as he has a couple of farms over in Michigan, 
T have no doubt but what he will make an

spring are doing very nicely. Our_pen is 
attracting considerable attention. We have 
about 75 in it now and we are about to build 
larger accommodations.—T. T., Illinois.

dozen Extras. I now have about 350 pair of

two baskets containing 36 birds on Thursday. 
Pardon delay in not answering sooner, as I 
was out of town, I am perfectly satisfied 
with all the birds I bought of you and hope to 
be able in the future to secure more. Am 
shipping the two baskets this morning by 
National express, homeward bound.—J. W., 
New York. 
GOOD REPORT. Please find enclosed a 
money order for which please ship me 12 pair 
pigeons as I saw some birds which you shipped: 
to Mr. Walter of this town. I received a 
booklet from your firm some time ago but did 
not order birds until I saw Mr. Walter report

you can send me mixed colors. Ship via 
Adams express. Wishing you success.—L. D.,

THIS LETTER WAS WRITTEN BY ONE 
OF OUR CUSTOMERS TO HIS FRIEND IN 
A NEIGHBORING TOWN. I am pleased 
to know that you are getting along so nicely 
with your squab house. Wish you could see 
the last consignee of birds I received from 
the Plymouth Rock Squab Co. of Boston. 
They are beauties, and they commenced 
building their nests the second day after they 
arrived. I have no idea where you are going 
to purchase your birds but I certainly think 
you will make no mistake if you get them 
from Mr. Rice, for the ones he sent me are 
the finest I ever saw. 
I am confident if you buy your birds of Mr. 
Rice he will use you right for he has done the 
right thing by me.—F. B., New York. 
WANTS 500 PAIRS IN THE SPRING. My 
pigeons are doing very well but they are 
shedding a great many feathers. I want to 
make arrangements early in the spring for 
500 pairs of your best stock, but before build- 
ing my houses I want to take a trip to Melrose 
and look your plant over, in order to get all 
the ideas about construction, maintenance, 
etc. I enclose separate slip with a few 
questions that I would like to have you answer 
if it is not too much trouble.—J. W., North 
Carolina. 
LOST ONLY ONE BIRD, AND THAT BY 
ACCIDENT. I recently bought a few pairs 
of birds that you sold to a gentleman in this 
city about March Ist. He was moving to St. 
Louis and had to dispose of the birds. With 
what I got from you and the seven pairs I 
Have 
never lost but one bird and that was my own 
fault for I was experimenting on it and accident- 
ally killed it, Ihave a market in St. Louis for 
all I can ship at $4.00 per dozen. If not ask- 
ing too much would you kindly give me the 
address of a couple of Chicago and New York 
commission men that handle squabs.—W. E. 
T., Missouri. 
STARTED WELL. I write you in regard 
to the pigeons you will remember we bought 
of you (24 pairs) about two years ago this 
month, Our Homers have done very nicely. 
I have about 200 pairs. We sold 40 pairs 
last year. We have quite a nice little plant 
started—A. C., Wisconsin.

send me a plan for your multiple unit house. 
My pigeons are doing finé.—D. B., Illinois.

Somebody handling the small, stunted Homers may tell you that eight pounds to the 
dozen is good weight for squabs and that squabs are not bred to weigh more from Homers. 
That is true, from his Homers.
