MORE STORIES OF SUCCESS 



CHEAPEST POSSIBLE CONSTRUCTION. 



Single boarding, covered with roofing, no shingles. Ihe long, shallow wood trough is for the birds to bathe in. 



The water enters from a faucet in the foreground. After the birds have bathed, the water is eni[)tied by pulhng 



a plug at the end. The trough is cleaned with a broom. The man who sends this photograph writes: I raised 



1650 young ones from March 1, 1907 to July 1, 1907 (four months) from 450 pairs of breeders in this building." 



MADE A TRIP SOUTH AS FAR AS VIRGINIA AND FOUND OUR BIRDS THE BEST ALL 

 ALONG THE LINE. NONE OTHERS ANYWHERE NEAR THEIR EQUAL FOR SIZE AND 

 QUALITY. I have sold lots of squabs this summer, I average about 800 a month. Besides 

 that I have worked up a little side trade in selling mated birds, but only the very- large ones, 

 such as I raise mysefi. Such orders bring me $3 a pair. I can't raise them fast enough to 

 supply my trade, but I guarantee to do what is right by them all. 



I can say the credit is yours for supplying me with tiie old birds, as you did, but I only wish 

 I had sense enough to have held on to all I ever got from you. Mr. Rice, I claim to have raised 

 the largest Homers that any man can raise. 



1 visited a plant in Pennsylvania. While I was there I was also dovtrn to Philadelphia and 

 Delaware as far as Virginia and I saw your fine birds all along as I went, but none others were 

 anywhere near their equal as far as size and quality went. 



I will take the largest Homers you have to-day and breed them in m> coops and raise the 

 young ones myself, and the young birds will be larger than the old ones, but that is experience 

 that does that. — li, Y., Connecticut. 



'CANADA CUSTOMER FINDS PROFIT- 

 ABLE OCCUPATION. About six months ago 

 1 purchased from you seven pairs of your 

 Extra mated adult Plymouth Rock Homer 

 pigeons. Have had very good success with 

 them. Starting with seven pairs, J have 

 now (June, 4, 1907) fifty-six hardy Homers. 1 

 also got a Manual from you and find it very 

 helpful. On the whole, I think squab rais- 

 ing is one of the most profitable industries 

 pursued to-day. You can publish this letter 

 :f you wish. — J. M., B. C, Canada. 



WHY WE HAVE MADE A SUCCESS. I 



wish to thank you very much for the nice 

 selection both in si^e, and perfect marking. 

 I readily see why it is you have made a success 

 of Homer breeding. I have long since found 

 a satisfied customer is by far the best advertis- 

 ing medium in building a substantial business. 

 I will give you my future orders. I hope to 

 add frequently to my nice loft of birds. No 

 off-color or inferior birds can exist in my 

 pens. Wishing you success. — ^W. B. T., 

 Texas.
