THIS LETTER WAS WRITTEN BY ONE 

 OF OUR CUSTOMERS TO HIS FRIEND IN 

 A NEIGHBORING TOWN. I am pleased 

 to know that you are getting along so nicely 

 with your squab house. Wish you could see 

 the last co»6ignment of birds I received from 

 the Plymouth Rock Squab Co. of Boston. 

 They are beauties, and they commenced 

 building their nests the second day after they 

 arrived. I have no idea where you are going 

 to purchase your birds but I certainly think 

 you will make no mistake if you get them 

 from Mr. Rice, for the ones he sent me are 

 the finest I ever saw, 



I am confident if you buy yoiu" birds of Mr. 

 Rice he will use you right for he has done the 

 right thing by me. — F. B., New York. 



WANTS 500 PAIRS IN THE SPRING. My 



pigeons are doing very well but they are 

 shedding a great many feathers. I want to 

 make arrangements early in the spring for 

 500 pairs of your best stock, but before build- 

 ing my houses I want to take a trip to Melrose 

 and look your plant over, in order to get all 

 the ideas about construction, maintenance, 

 etc. I enclose separate slip with a few 

 questions that I would like to have you answer 

 if it is not too much trouble. — ^J. W., North 

 Carolina. 



LOST ONLY ONE BIRD, AND THAT BY 

 ACCIDENT. I recently bought a few pairs 

 of birds that you sold to a gentleman in this 

 city about March 1st. He was moving to St. 

 Louis and had to dispose of the birds. With 

 what I got from you and the seven pairs I 

 bought from him I now have 65 birds. Have 

 never lost but one bird and that was m^ own 

 fault for I was experimenting on it and accident- 

 ally killed it. I have a market in St. Louis for 

 all I can ship at $4.00 per dozen. If not ask- 

 ing too much would you kindly give me the 

 address of a couple of Chicago and New York 

 commission men that handle squabs. — ^W. E. 

 T., Missouri. 



STARTED WELL. I write you in regard 

 to the pigeons you will remember we bought 

 of you (24 pairs) about two years ago this 

 month. Our Homers have done verj' nicely. 

 I have about 200 pairs. We sold 40 pairs 

 last year. We have qiute a nice little plant 

 started. — A. C, Wisconsin. 



DOING WELL. GOING TO BXJILD. Please 

 send me a plan for your multiple unit house. 

 My pigeons are doing fine. — D. B., Illinois. 



STARTED IN TO MAKE REFORMS, 



Please find enclosed check for nine dollars 



Somebody handling the small, stunted Homers may tell you that eight pounds to the 

 dozen is good weight for squabs and that squabs are not bred to wei^h more from Homers. 

 That is true, from his Homers, In these pages you will find that eight pounds is low for 

 Plymouth Rock Homer squabs.
