MORE STORIES OF SUCCESS 



KNOWS BY EXPERIENCE THERE IS 

 MONEY IN PIGEONS. MANUAL " AWFUL 

 GOOD." I trust you will pardon my tardi- 

 ness in answering your letter with reference 

 to the new National Standard Squab Book. 

 Of course I want this book. I do not send 

 for these books through any idle curiosity. 

 I have kept pigeons and I know there is money 

 in' them fi uey are properly looked after. I 

 want to get back in the pigeon business after 

 the first of the year, and intend to do so, and 

 I want to start with the best birds I can get. 

 I think the National Standard Squab Book 

 very fine. It is *' awful good." More 

 pleasure and satisfaction than I can express. 

 DorL't know of any improvements you could 

 make, unless you went ahead and said the 

 same thing over again. I enclose 20 cents in 

 stamps for your new 1907-1908 Manual. 

 I also send by this mail, under separate 

 cover, the old Manual. 



I intended to purchase some of your birds 

 when I sent for your book, but conditions 

 have been such that it has been impossible. 

 C^n't say exactly when, but will buy some of 

 your birds soon. 



The main reason I haven't bought some of 

 your birds is because I haven't had any 

 place to keep them. I have kept pigeons all 

 my life, know a great deal about their habits, 

 and above all, I am very fond of them. How- 

 ever, I had to dispose of all the birds I had 

 about 18 months ago, and since that time 

 I haven't had the room to keep them. ^ I 

 had to dispose' of them on account of having 

 to leave Atlanta. My lease on my present 

 home runs out about January 10, 1908, at 

 which time I expect to buy me a i)lace with 

 large premises, where I can keep pigeons, as 

 I made a good deal of money on then during 

 my school days, and believe I can do so now 

 as a side line if nothing more, — M. R. L. 

 Georgia. 



PLEASED WITH YOUR BUSINESS 

 METHODS AND BUYING STEADILY. I 

 have never seen a more likely lot of pigeons, 



and as I have room enough for another 10 

 pairs, I enclose P. O. order and I hope that 

 before the next batch arrives I shall be ready 

 for fifty more pairs. I am very mucb 

 pleased with the maimer in which the Ply- 

 mouth Rock Squab Co. does business. — 

 R. W. J., Virginia. 



MAKING THEM PAY AS HE GOES ALONG. 



I now have seventy. One year ago last 

 March I bought six pairs from you. I want 

 a better start before I sell very many, but I 

 make them pay for their feed. Your Manual 

 is "the goods." — D. E., Illinois. 



HIS HOMERS LOOK LIKE PYGMIES 

 ALONGSIDE PLYMOUTH ROCK EXTRAS. 

 I have 60 Homers, but they look like pygmies 

 alongside of your birds. — P. W. D. 



OUR HOMERS MORE THAN WE CLAIM 

 FOR THEM. Your Homers are more than 

 you claim for them. At least mine are. 

 They are models of beauty and are very large. 

 I was skeptical at first, but I am thoroughly 

 convinced that the Homer is the only bird. 

 Some of my Homers are as large as the white 

 Italian birds that I purchased from you. 

 The squabs are fine large fellows and I am 

 , siire that a nice flock of Homers beats a drove 

 of chickens for meat, either for home or 

 market use. I shall take pleasure in recom- 

 mending your birds to my friends and 

 prospective buyers. Please mid enclosed SO 

 cents for another Manual. — M. A., Kansas. 



HOMER HEN SITTING ON EGGS. 



PIGEONS CRAVE GREEN FOOD. I 



bought of you Jime 20. 1906, 24 pairs of your 

 Homers. I have lost three birds, all of my 

 raising, and now have 100 pairs (April, 1907). 

 They all seem to crave something green to 

 eat. What would you advise? Shall I feed 

 them any green foods? I am giving them 

 kaifir com. a few peas, wheat and cracked 

 com. — ^P. M. P., Georgia. 



Answer. Yes, throw some lettuce or any 

 greeii leaves on to the squab-house floor 

 occasionally, say twice a week, and let them 

 peck away at them to suit themselves. 



WISHES TO GET PIGEONS OF SUPERIOR 

 QUALITY. You may hear from a gentleman, 

 Mr John Pyle. Send him some of yorr 

 literature, as I will always recommend your 

 stock to all who expect to go into the squab 

 'business. This Mr. Fyle has isigeons, but of 

 an inferior quaUty, and having been told 

 about mine, wants some like I have. — R, S.. 

 Maryland.
