Dear Sir: 
Yours of the 27th duly received. I am pleased to hear from you once 
more. If beginners will stick to your breeders, they will have no cause 
to complain as to size, quantity and quality of squabs, and net profits 
they receive from same. 
The: demand is still good for all the fancy white large pauene we 
can get, and the market’has kept at uniform price for a long time 
In fact, since the new season started, there has been very little. change 
in price. 
The small and mixed lots we must sell to out of town trade where 
everything looking like a squab zoes at a price; while the city trade 
want the larger bird and are willing to pay for them. 
Many do not buy enpugh breeders at the start so that they can ship 
a fair sized lot. 
I can use daily all the squabs I can get and do not look for 
prices to go any lower during the winter,---if anything, quite some 
advance. 
I think if any two need any praising as to results brought about, 
and profits to raisers, it is you and myself, as I was the first to in- 
troduce selling by weight according to size, and was laughed at for tryitg, 
even by those who would not now admit the change more than doubled their 
output. The one who does not like the change is the speculator who got 
the large birds for nothing, and the small birds at their actual value, 
and made the extra profit when selling to consumers, 
I would advise beginners to get a quantity of your breeders; 
keep free from other kinds. They will have no cause to find fault with 
results, and will always have a market and demand at good prices, for 
they can raise and ship at any time of the year. Serid me the names of: 
your customers yourself and I will post them as to the market, and send 
shipping cards. 
Yours ae
