of Homers shipped to me on October 2, 1907, 
arrived to-day in apparently first-class con- 
dition. The birds appear to be satisfactory 
in every respect. I thank you for the extra 
pair; also for the supplies included. After 
the birds get.to work I shall furnish vou with

order again, shall not forget your_ prompt 
and liberal treatment.—C. W. L., Register,

BETTER AT $1.50 A PAIR THAN WHAT 
HE PAID OTHERS $2.50 A PAIR. SIX 
MORE ORDERS FOLLOW. I have received 
your Plymouth Rock pigeons which you sent 
me in perfect order. I am very much 
pleased with them. They are as good as the 
ones I bought of and for $2.50 
per pair.—P. P., New York. 
Note. The above customer has sent us 
in 1907 up to date (November) six orders. 
ONE HUNDRED MILES IN FIVE HOURS 
IN A STORM. Please send me one of your 
1907 catalogues. The birds that I received 
in April, 1906, are doing finely. I broke them 
in at my loft. I flew one of them 100 miles, 
making the distance in five hours, in rain and 
storms. I will ship him 200 miles in a few 
weeks with others of my birds. I think he

SATISFIED AND BUYS MORE. Some 
time ago I ordered a half-dozen pairs of pig- 
eons from you; at the same time I ordered six 
pairs from the I wish to say that I 
have now received all the birds and I have 
concluded that yours are the best. As soon 
as I get a little more ready money I expect to 
order more birds of you. It is my intention 
to build up a large flock just as soon as I can. 
Iam perfectly satisfied in my dealing with you.
