A GOOD-LOOKING ILLINOIS PLANT. 
Woe are two of the buildings of the breeder whose letter is printed on this page. Notice his handsome white 
omers. 
LOST MONEY BY NOT KNOWING PLYMOUTH ROCK nome, NOW HE IS ON THE 
RIGHT TRACK. HE IS A TRAVELING SALESMAN AND HIS DAUGHTER DOES MOST 
OF THE WORK ON THIS BIG PLANT. SQUABS WEIGH 11 POUNDS TO THE DOZEN. 
I have jus just completed my new squab unit according to your plans. Please find enclosed 
Adams Express money order for birds to fill same. 
Other parties have been working on me for this order and I:told them I would buy nothing 
but Extra Plymouth Rocks. (A burnt child dreads the fire.) I lost enough by experimenting. 
with cheap birds when I began. Since I began buying of you I have had no trouble. The last 
three shipments I received from you cannot be beat for size, beauty and breeding qualities. 
About one-third of all the squabs I have sold in the past 12 months have averaged a little over 
11 pounds to the dozen. We have quite a lot of squabs that weighed a full sixteen ounces each, 
ow, Mr. Rice, as long as you continue to ship me in the future as fine stock as you have in 
the past, I am with you and the Plymouth Rock Co., and “‘ the other fellow ’’ might just as 
well save his postage stamps and breath. 
I have not lost a a old bird by death or disease in 14 months. We had three or four 
squabs picked badly. found by taking the squabs away at three weeks of age and placing 
them in a small feeding pen and feeding hempseed for a week that they fatten awfully fast. 
4 is your idea about that? 
Thope you will excuse this i lene letter. Every time I think about my experience at the start 
with all kinds of mixed up birds, I have “ brain storms '’ and you can rest assured my talk 
over the country will be for sothing but Plymouth Rock birds. As you know I am a traveling 
man and ought to be a good talker, Consequently in order to repay you for favors in the 
past I often tell my experiences and how I lost money by not knowing Elmer Rice. 
My oldest daughter does all our feeding and taking care of our birds and she is getting to 
be an expert pigeon keeper and delights in the pastime. We are figuring on increasing our 
flocks just as fast as we can until we get 2000 pairs.—S. S. H., Illinois.
