1906 
STORIES OF SUCCESS ON THIS PAGE ARE NEW. 
LETTERS FROM CUSTOMERS 
1906 
THEY WERE RECEIVED BY 
THE PLYMOUTH ROCK SQUAB CGMPANY OF BOSTON IN NINE MONTHS OF 1906. 
I want to have everything complete before I 
have them shipped.—I. S., New York. 
HAS TRIED THEM AND KNOWS. I am 
at present debating with myself and with 
some of my relations in regard to starting in 
the pigeon business. My folks are trying to 
persuade me that it is going to cost too much 
to start, and that I will not realize any great 
prohts very soon. As I see, and at the best 
can figure it out, it will take about $100 to 
start in with fifty pairs of breeders and builda 
home to accommodate them, getting the price 
of building down as low as possible with lum- 
ber at its present price. What I want to 
know is, do you think it would pay me to start 
and about how long do you think it would 
take to get back the amount paid out if I 
relied entirely on the birds? 
I think I could get it back in four months 
at the most, because I have three pairs I pur- 
chased of you in January, besides the young 
ones I have raised. I have watched and studied 
their ways and know something about them. 
I know how fast they breed, etc. Now am I 
right in my estimation as to the time it would 
take to regain my money and would you 
advise me to start if possible? My birds 1 
have now are doing fine.—S. A., Massachusetts, 
MANURE FOR SALE. Will you please 
give me the address of some firm to which I 
can sell my pigeon manure? My pigeons are 
doing well this spring.—T. O., New York. 
RHODE ISLAND SUCCESS. I am enclos- 
ing money order for which kindly send me 
enclosed supplies. If this money order does 
not cover cost do not delay the grain but 
send me bill for extra. My birds are all doing 
finely —B. O., Rhode Island. 
THIS IS THE KIND OF PLAIN TALK ONE 
LIKES TO HEAR. I am finding out for my- 
self if there was money in squabs and I have 
found it to be true by other squab breeders. 
I was to a man’s place this afternoon ang he 
said he had no trouble in selling his squabs 
for a good price. I guess the only trouble 
is people are sleeping half the time. That’s 
why they don’t know much about squab 
breeding. If a fellow doesn’t believe in squab 
breeding, all he has to do is to open his eyes 
and look around. I’ve been to a couple of 
bird shows and have seen nothing to go ahead 
of your birds yet. My friend was saying what 
nice birds they had at the show, and I thought 
I would go down with him. We had to pay 
25 cents to get in. After we looked at the 
birds, he said that mine would get the first 
rize if I would take them down. Then I 
Found out that I have some of the biggest birds 
in town. I would like to get some pictures 
taken and show you some of the birds I got “ 
from yours. I found your book to be a book 
anybody can read and knows what he is read- 
ing about. Everything is so plain—what a 
beginner wants to know about breeding birds. 
I was thinking of sending you my third order, 
If I do, it will be next week. Hoping you are 
doing a good business. My birds are doin, 
fine. Your birds are the best breeders and 
won't take any others.—S, C. H., Wisconsin, 
NEST BOWLS ALL RIGHT. Please find 
a money order for one dozen more of your nest 
bowls. They are O. K. Put them in the 
house one evening and on going in the next 
found that a pair had already taken posses- 
sion and started anest. Have 11 var setting 
on eggs and they are doing fine. intend to 
purchase more from you later as I am going 
to build a unit to start this spring and enclose 
money for your plans for squab houses, 
Wishing you every success.—W. A., Massa- 
chusetts. = 
ENLARGING. Enclosed find check for 
which please send me seven pairs of your 
Extra Homers and one dozen_fibre nests. 
Send by American express. This time I 
would like to have different colored birds. 
The birds and supplies you sent me in Janu- 
ary came in good shape. I was well pleased 
with same. Am thinking some of putting in 
50 or 100 pairs more this summer if I can 
arrange for another house.—H. B., Indiana. 
BEST EVER SEEN IN OKLAHOMA, 
Enclosed please find money order for which 
send me your best Extra Homers as specified. 
Send all blue-speckled birds, as shown on 
right of special offer sheet. Your last ship- 
ment of birds are fine ones and every one that 
has seen them say they are the finest they ever 
saw. Trusting these will be the same or 
better and that I may_receive them at your 
earliest convenience—W. H., Oklahoma. 
BUYING MORE AFTER ONE YEAR’S 
EXPERIENCE. A little over a year ago, I 
bought 24 pairs of your pigeons. Now I wish 
to buy 300 pairs of your Extra Plymouth 
Rock Homers and am fixing a house for them 
and will be in shape to receive 75 pairs a 
month, say March 1, April 1, May 1 and June 
. I see that $1.70 per pair is your price in 
lots of 300 pairs and upwards. I should 
want the best birds as I believe they are the 
cheapest. Now if this arrangement. is all 
right, you can let me know and I will send 
you $127.50 for the first 75 pairs. I want 
your best birds.—E. F., Ohio. 
Is there anybody in your town who has failed at squab raising? Some play at pigeons 
as they would with a new toy, then give them up.
