SMALL OPENINGS UNDER THE WINDOWS. é 
This photograph of the plant of a Pennsylvania breeder, shows small openings from which boards extend to the 
ound.. In winter weather or at any time when it is.not desired to open the closed windows, this small opening 
in each pen can be used. Some breeders have a rope and pulley attached to the slide of such an opening, manage 
the opening and closing by pulling on the rope from the passageway, and do not have to enter the squab house. 
OLD TWO-ROOM COTTAGE CONVERTED INTO A SQUAB HOUSE. BEST BIRDS IN 
15 YEARS’ EXPERIENCE. After having so many letters from you, reading your Manual 
and then looking at your photo, I really feel that I am well acquainted with you. I received 
our-last letter several days-ago and would have written you sooner, but for a rush in business. 
pe highly pleased with all the birds purchased from you and especially the last shipment you 
made me. ‘Those birds are the very handsomest I have ever seen and have been admired by 
every one that has seen them, They are gerbing down to work now. My house and pen cost 
me very little and yet Ihave almost an idealhome for my birds. Away back in my garden Ihave 
an old two-room cottage with gable roof covered with shingles. This I have turned into a home 
for my birds, The rooms are about 10 by 10 and eight feet high, or maybe a little larger. One 
of them I have almost filled with nest boxes (as you make them) and the other I keep for feed, 
etc. My nen is 24 feet long, 12 feet wide and about 18 feet high, taking in one side of the raof. 
In your Manual you do not recommend using the roof, but I have gone against. you in this 
one thing and am allowing mine toenjoy the roof. I donot use poles of any kind in my pen... I 
have three running boards all the way around and find that much better than the poles. . The 
floor of the flying pen is covered with good coarse sand taken from an island in the river here 
and I feed them as you direct in your Manual. q 
J have raised birds for the last 15 years, but have never had such success as I am now having. 
I keep them more for pleasure than anything else, but of course later on will begin selling 
offafew. Dr. Robinson tells me that he is meeting with success also. He has asked me several 
times to go down and see his birds, but I live way out of town and hardly ever stop around 
his place. Anything I can do for you in the way of directing a customer to you I will gladly 
do. As I have written you before, it is a pleasure to do business with you. Dr. Robinson made 
the same remark to me several days ago. F.E.M., Virginia.
