Dear Sir, 
We wish to advise you on prices arid geheral run of 
squabs which a goodly number of breeders of your fancy Homer pigeons are 
shipping us. They are now selling from between $3.75 to $4.50 per dozen 
and, in all probability will go higher, as the winter advances. There ie 
a good demand for this kind of birds and we are receiving quite a deal 
of them. We can handle anywhere from one thousand to two thousand dozen 
a week ag bur trade constantly inquires for them. We can assure you that 
the breed of birds we get from our shippers are very fine and we notice 
@ large majority of these same shippers mention your hame. 
The market at present wants squabs weighing between 
9 and 11 lbs. to the dozen, and we would advise any beginner to use 
nothing but your best breed of birds, as they are the cheapest in the 
end to him, 
We thank you for your kind consideration and 
past favors. We are 
Very truly vours, 
PB ‘ +G
