LETTERS FROM CUSTOMERS 
1906 
THEY WERE RECEIVED BY 
THE PLYMOUTH ROCK SQUAB COMPANY OF BOSTON iN NINE MONTHS OF 1906. 
done exceedingly well, and we have got a 
pretty good start in pigeons now, but what 
{ write you to-day for is this. This morning 
at 9 o’clock one of the birds we got of you got 
out of the flying pen. She flew into the air and 
started for Boston. This was a brown bird, 
and we thought she might arrive at her 
destination, so I wish you to keep a lookout 
for her and see if you can tell if she gets there. 
If she does arrive, would you mind letting me 
know? I am anxious to know if she gets 
there. This was a female bird and she left 
a veut bird about a week old in the nest.—

Answer. No Homer would fly that dis- 
tance. We receive many letters like the 
above. Customers should watch the doors 
of squab-house and pens and not let their 
birds get away. 
LARGE, HEAVY AND FULL-BREASTED. 
Enclosed find money_order_ for one more 
dozen pairs of your Extra Plymouth Rock 
Homers. - 
I did not rush a letter down to you the 
same afternoon I received the other birds for 
the reason that I wanted to try them out 
first. The dozen pair of Plymouth Rocks, 
on their arrival weighed exactly 22 pounds, 
while a few days later I received another 
dozen pair from another company and they 
weighed only 17 pounds. ‘hey were not 
full-breasted like your birds. 
I received first shipment on the 2nd of 
March. They are now working like good 
fellows. Have three nests with eggs in. 
You will hear from me occasionally with 
further orders,—A. P. S., Michigan. 
WANTS TO BUY SOME GOOD ONES. 
Kindly send your catalogue and any other 
printed matter you have about pigeons. An 
seas wants to buy some good birds 
and he is going to look at my Iot that I 
received last Thursday. I feel sure I can 
land him as a customer for you.—H. D. C., 
Pennsylvania. 
GOING SLOWLY. Please send free book, 
“How to Make Money with Squabs.” The 
birds bought of you are doing well now and 
some of their young are hatching. Have 
enough now to ship a dozen a month now.—

JUST THE BIRDS. I thought I would 
Jet you know how my birds are getting along. 
They arrived on Tuesday, May Ist, as I wrote 
you. Thursday of the same week one pair 
had commenced to build. At this writing 
four pairs have eggs. The others are build- 
ing. That is what I call going right to work. 
I am very much pleased with them. There 
was a oe here this morning looking at 
them. e talks of putting in one hundred 
pair, and says they are just the birds that he 
wants. He is coming up to see your plant. 
Of course I showed him my birds and told 
him just what they were doing and where 
they came from_so I think he will be a cus- 
tomerfor you. I shall advertise the Plymouth 
Rock birds wherever I havea chance. Thank 
you for your kindness —J. C., New Jersey. 
SQUABS WEIGHING ONE POUND APIECE 
WHEN ONE MONTH OLD. I received my 
pigeons from you April 20, 1905. I have one 
pair that has hatched eleven (11) times up to 
the 22nd day of April, 1906, so you can see 
that they have had fairly good care. I now 
have 110 birds and am getting them fast now 
and will commence shipping when I get 70 
or 80 pairs. I have weighed a number of 
birds four weeks old that weighed _16 ounces 
and I think that is very good.—L. F., Iowa. 
QUICKLY AT WORK. Please pardon my 
delay in acknowledging the receipt (right 
side up) of the Pigeons you shipped to me at 
Harpers Ferry, W. Va., which place I left 
before the shipment arrived. My wife 
informed me that they were all in good shape 
and the finest specimens she ever saw. Also 
thought they had returned the baskets to you. 
As soon as I go home, which will be in a few 
days, will send you another order. My wife’s 
third letter tells me that 16 pairs out of the 18 
have gone to setting. Don’t think you can 
beat that at home. We have everything good 
to feed them, peas, kaffir corn, wheat and 
millet, and we _intend_to make a success of 
the business—W. S., Virginia. 
SQUABS HAVE AVERAGED ONE POUND 
APIECE. Enclosed please find certified 
check for $173.98 for which kindly send me 
birds and supplies as enclosed. Kindly send 
the shipment of birds as soon as possible as 
I would like to receive them before Tuesday. 
All my birds are doing nicely. My squabs, 
under your system of feeding, have averaged 
a pound apiece and I expect from the present 
outlook of things to make them average a 
good deal more.—E. H. M., Pennsylvania. 
THIS WOMAN IN BRITISH COLUMBIA 
KNOWS WHAT A FINE HOMER IS. A
