MORE STORIES OF SUCCESS 
1908 
EVERY PAIR AT WORK IN DOUBLE- 
UICK TIME. BUILDING UP A PLANT, 
think a few lines to you is my duty. I 
expected to be at your office and plant before 
now. My young son ‘ae struck by a trolley 
car about the time was going to go to 
Boston, and just escaped very serious results, 
so I have stayed pretty close at home, but 
beve a vacation in July and will call on you 
then. 
About the birds, they are doing fine. 
They went to work at once and some of them 
are now on their third lot of eggs. They held 
their matings, every pair. I feel very much 
encouraged and appreciate your fair and 
honest business principles. You will receive 
orders from us in the future as we are going 
to build up quite a plant.—H. I. L., Massa- 
chusetts. 
SQUABS THREE WEEKS OLD. 
BRANCHING OUT FROM A_ SMALL 
BEGINNING AFTER SUCCESSFUL EXPERI- 
ENCE WITH PLYMOUTH ROCK HOMERS 
IN UTAH. I have decided to go into the 
squab business on a large scale and when my 
business interests are cared for will move to 
Salt Lake City where I hope to work up a 
good business The birds purchased from 
you have been very satisfactory in every 
particular and my business in the future will 
be done direct with your good company. My 
health is poor through confinement and I am 
determined to try squab raising for the 
penis ot makes a success and money.— 
. B., Utak. 
SQUABS AS A SIDE LINE. Please send 
me two dozen wood-fibre nestbowls by 
express, The birds I received from you 
April 1 are all working satisfactorily (May 
13, 1907). do this as a side issue. I work 
in the factory all day and take care of my 
pigeons nights and mornings. and find it very 
pleasant work.—E. D. D., Massachusetts. 
TEN PAIRS OF SQUABS A YEAR FROM 
ONE PAIR. MARKET BROADENING AND: 
DEMAND INCREASING. The pigeons that 
I bought from you are doing nicely. Most 
of them seem to be in good condition.and 
keep steadily at work. One pair raised ten 
pairs of squabs a year and there are others 
that almost equal them. I began last fall to 
save those from the best breeders. I had 
to keep them in the house with the older 
birds because I had nowhere else for them 
tostay. They disturbed the pigeons through 
-the winter, but they are mating and getting 
to work now. 
I sell all the squabs I can raise to one of the 
local marketmen. At first there was no sale 
for them except in summer when wealthy 
people from the bain cities are sojourning 
here, but he bought all I had last winter. (See 
note below.) 
When ready for market they weigh from 
two pounds to two and one-half pounds a pair. 
They are white and fat and the dealer has 
complimented me a number of times about 
them, 
I find the business very interesting and 
would like to engage in it more extensively 
if I could get more time to devote to the 
birds, but it is impossible to do so at present. 
—Miss M,. D., Connecticut. 
Note. The squab market has broadened 
tremendously since we first began advertising 
in the high class periodicals advising people 
to eat squabs as well as raise them. This 
habit of eating squabs has a steady hold all 
the year round on thousands of families who 
ten years ago did not know what a squab 
was. This demand is increasing every year. 
In spite of the steady growth in production 
of squabs, the prices are as high, and in many 
cases, higher than ten years ago. 
DELAWARE MAN FINDS IN OCTOBER, 
1907, THAT NEW YORK MARKETS ARE 
HOLDING GOOD. PRICES ARE LIKELY 
TO GO HIGHER. I received your Manual 
yesterday and am very much pleased with it 
and stayed up until 1.30 last night reading it. 
I believe that if I follow your instructions 
and make up my mind to make a success of 
it, I will be able to do it. I knew a little 
about Bicone before, as my brother and I 
kept a flock of common pigeons when we 
lived in Long Island City, but had to move 
. New York City and had to do away with 
em, ve 
I have a few mongrels on hand now and 
am experimenting a little, but as soon as able 
will send you an order. It will not be very 
large, but if your stock is as good as repre- 
sented (like your Manual) it will be all right. 
I have: written to New York markets for 
prices and find they are still holding up good 
and I believe next year they will go higher. 
Hoping you the best of success —N. H. C., 
Delaware,
