1907 MORE STORIES OF SUCCESS 
4 AT THE BACK OF A BARN. 
Showing how a New York customer made a handsome home for his birds without doing any building. (This 
flying pen is shown in detail on next illustrated page.) 
THAT THE WORK IS NOT BEYOND THE PERSON OF AVERAGE ABILITY IS PROVED 
BY THE SUCCESS OF THIS 15-YEAR-OLD BOY WHO HAD NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE 
AND NO GUIDE BUT THE MANUAL. Please send me prices on pigeon supplies, also prices 
on breeding stock, as I have mislaid ‘those that I received from you about a year ago when I 
purchased pigeons of you. I am only a boy of 15 and must wait until I can earn enough from 
the ones I have. My Extra Plymouth Rock Homers have done very well. My brother bought 
six pairs of you and he sold them to me immediately after they began work before winter was 
half way begun. One pair died, so that left me only five pairs of breeders. I was sc interested 
in these that I forgot about the pair that died. They worked fine until cold weather set in 
having averaged a pair of squabs from each pair every seven weeks, but during the cold 
weather we raised less. Our loft being upstairs, in an old granary, was pretty cold. 
This spring (1907) they began work in earnest again, laying their eggs again before the squabs 
were two weeks old. One eae pair only four months old raised a pair of squabs weighing 
one and one-half pounds. have now about seventy-five (75) birds old and young and lots of 
eggs. 
e got 50 cents a pair for the squabs we sold, but I did not wish to sell many because I am 
to raise them for breeders. 
It certainly pays to buy the Extras, for everybody who sees them says they are splendid, but 
I believe your Manual is just as necessary t make it a paying business. I do not see how I 
could raise them without it. Perhaps I will want some more breeders if I get the building 
ready this summer.—G. L. G., Wisconsin. 
ONE SALE LED TO ANOTHER. No 
doubt you are acquainted with Carlton 
Daniel, who is a first cousin of mine. His 
pigeons looked so fine that they encouraged 
me to buy of you. I don’t think mine can be 
beaten.—F. W., Indiana. 
OUTGROWN THE COOP. Please send me 
five dozen nestbowls and one drinking 
fountain by express. My coop has got too 
small to hold the birds. The dozen pairs 
you_sent me have increased to 125 birds.—
