LETTERS FROM CUSTOMERS 



STORIES OF SUCCESS RECEIVED BY THE PLYMOUTH ROCK SQUAB CO. 



to you in the first place, but he bought about 

 60 pairs from, a New Jersey dealer. He 

 showed him a letter that was supposed to have 

 come from a man that bought birds of you, 

 saying that he didn't want any more of them. 

 But now he sees the difference when he has 

 tuem side by side. Mr. Webster, my next 

 door neighbor, is so well pleased with the 

 way mine are doing that he is going to send 

 for a few pairs this fall. I would if I could, 

 and had the room. 



J now have 16 pairs of the Plymouth Rock 

 birds. My ^en is open to any one that wants 

 to see the birds before they send to you for 

 breeders. I thar. k you for the fine birds you 

 sent to Mr. Tevis. It shows that 1 didn't 

 exaggerate your ability, to send six pairs or 

 100 pairs of fine birds. — D. C. T., New Jersey. 



FINEST FLOCK HE HAD EVER SEEN. 



A year ago to-day we received eighteen pairs 

 of your Homers. Our flock now numbers 

 nearly 100 pairs and all are doing fine. We 

 have sold a few pairs at $1.25 per pair, and 

 have had any amotint of inquiries after squabs. 

 We have had a number of fanciers up to look 

 at the flock, and all seem to think they are 

 an exceptionally flne lot of birds. One 

 gentleman who keeps an excellent lot of 

 imported birds said they were the finest flock 

 he had pver seen, which speaks well for your 

 birds. — B. B., Michigan. 



BEST BIRDS IN HIS CITY. Find en- 

 closed $16.34 for which to send me a dozen 

 of your Homers, a dozen of nest bowls, and 

 two feet of alumintim tubing. Would have 

 liked to send an order sooner but had no 

 place to keep them. My birds are doing 

 fine. We have moved into a larger place 

 where I can let my birds out in a wire cage. 

 Your birds are the best I ever saw and the 

 only ones I ever intend to keep. I have sold 

 off all my young stock so I have more room 

 for the others.^ — J. B. T., Wisconsin. 



SPLENDID WORK WITH SPLENDID 

 BIRDS. I wish to advise you now (August, 

 1906) of the splendid lugk I have had with 

 the six pairs of birds purchased from you last 

 May and which were received at my home 

 on May 17. 



These birds, within a week after arrival, 

 commenced to construct their nests and, out 

 of the six pairs, five began hatching within 

 two weeks and every egg produced a squab. 

 Two squabs weighed at the age of four weeks 

 and two days, 16 ounces, after plucking, and 

 the remainder weighed from eight to 12 



ounces. The two squabs, weighing 16 ounces, 

 were the largest I ever saw and I thought you 

 would be interested in knowing the weights. 



On account of not having room for any 

 more birds, I am killing the squabs as they 

 mature but would have liked to have mated 

 the two large squabs, as I believe that their 

 offspring woiild have averaged 16 ounces 

 each. — S. P. N., New Jereey. 



DOUBLED IN THREE MONTHS. En- 

 closed find money order for $1.70 for which 

 please send le^ band outfit. The birds I 

 bought of you in April are doing fine. They 

 have doubled themselves. — W. A., Missoiui. 



DOING WELL IN CANADA. Saw your 

 advertisement in R. P. JToumal, "Squab book 

 free." Anything new in, it? I have your 

 book of 1904 with two dozen your Homers. 

 They are doing fine. What would you sell 

 me one dozen more? — P. I. B., Quebec. 



ORDERS FOR A FRIEND. I enclose you 

 herewith a check for $30. Please slup to 

 enclosed address 12 pairs of your Extra 

 Plymouth Rock Homers. Be sure to send 

 him some nice ones. 



Those we bought of you some time baclt 

 are doing nicely and if these show up as weZl 

 I think that I will be able to send you some 

 more orders soon. — S. W. T., Georgia. 



HAS DEALT WITH THE FAKIRS. The 



pigeons that you shipped to us have arrived 

 m fine condition and the best of health. We 

 are shipping back to you, via American 

 Express the wicker basket in which you sent 

 our pigeons. Also our many thanks for the 

 trouble you took in selecting the differenl 

 colored pairs. 



I wish to say that the pigeons are beauti- 

 fully mated, because one pair have started 

 in business already, the hen having laid two 

 eggs, and all the others have showed promis 

 ing signs of mating. 



After having dealt with poultry fakirs and 

 receiving their treatment, I fully appreciate 

 your kind treatment which is so unlike thai 

 of these fakirs, but your endeavors are not in 

 vain, as I soon expect to order some more 



Fairs. Your treatment has encouraged me. 

 have provided an excellent house and pen 

 for them. Thank you for your interest shown 

 in this matter. — L. J. H., Illinois. 



IN THE BLUE GRASS STATE. Could 

 you kindly tell me where 1 could get some 

 white Homers? The Plymouth Rock Homers 



New laws passed a year ago by the legislatures of Massachusetts and New York forbid the 

 sale of quail except in the months of November and December. The penalty is a heavy fine 

 for every quail found in the br.nds' of any marketman or restaurant keeper. Quail are no 

 longer found on bills of fare in these two states except around Thanks^ving and Christmas. 

 Squabs are on the bills of fare all the year everywhere. Other states, it is said by sportsmen, 

 will follow Massachusetts and New York with a similar game law.
