MORE STORIES OF SUCCESS 



WOULD NOT TRADE HIS PLYMOUTH 

 ROCKS FOR ANY IN HIS MONTANA 

 TOWN. I have had fair luck and in all the 

 Homers in town from different companies, I 

 would not trade the ones I got from you for 

 any of them. Friday noon, April 12, by 

 carelessness, some boy friends in going from, 

 the coop let one of my fine red checkers out, 

 which I would not have parted wilji for $2. 

 He rose into the air and after circling once 

 flew away faster than I ever saw a pigeon fly 

 before. In discussing the matter with some 

 people, they think he will come back, but he 

 has not. Others think he has gone back to 

 you. — M. S., Montana. 



Note. Letters likfe the above come to us 

 constantly. Guard your doors carefully. 

 Have springs on them so they will close with- 

 out attention. Homers which you raise you 

 can safely let fly, because they know no 

 home but yours, but Homers which you buy 

 will fly off. 



SQUABS 25 DAYS OLD. 

 Note that although they have been in the bowl 

 since hatching, it is comparatively free from manure. 

 They back up to the edge of the bowl and void into 

 the nest box. It is the nature of pigeons to try to 

 have clean nests, and they should be given a chance 

 by the use of nestbowls. 



NO CONCEPTION OF THE BEAUTY AND 

 SIZE OF OUR EXTRAS. I received the 

 birds last evening, just 24 hours after my 

 order was sent in — prompt work, that. 

 After having read your Manual and a great 

 many testimonials, I was expecting soms 

 fine birds, but find I had no conception of the 

 beauty and size of your Extras. The compact 

 bciies, rich, healthy color and uniformity of 

 size were a thorough surprise. I am going to 

 -follow your directions given in the Manual^ 

 and you may count on me as a customer to 

 the extent of my means. — Mrs. M. F. C, 

 Massachusetts. 



PLYMOUTH ROCK HOMERS IN DEMAND 

 IN THIS GEORGIA TOWN. £nj:;losed find 

 my check. Send me by express six pairs 

 Extra blue-barred Plymouth Rock Homers, 

 -mated. I have about got this town started 

 ' on raising pigeons, Mr. Barnes, my brother- 

 in-law, has just handed me your new circular. 

 He tells me he has ordered 12 pairs from you. 

 I hope you will ship him some nice birds. 

 His son has just bought some birds from the 



and I want the birds you ship 



me and his father to make him regret that he 

 did not order them froni you. I ordered 

 blue-barred birds from another party some 

 time back and they sent me checkers. If 

 I did not think you would send the order as 

 I am sending it in, I would not send it to you. 

 You remember I bought a few pairs of birds 

 from you a little over a year ago. I have sold 

 a great many birds and I have about 100 to 

 125 pairs of working birds on hand now. I 

 am building me another pen that will hold 

 about 200 pairs. — R. H. N., Georgia.

 ONLY. BEST BIRDS EVER SEEN ANY- 

 WHERE. The birds came yesterday all 

 O. K. and were fine "birds, and thd hen with 

 a little age will also be on top. Please accept 

 my thanks. What I especially wanted was 

 solid reds and when you do get hold of such 

 a pair that is A No. 1. send them to me and 

 send me the bill. I o.m raising strictly 

 Plymouth Rock stock and have developed 

 some A No. 1 birds, the best I have ever seen 

 anywhere, and so I swear by E. C. Rice stock. 

 You state that not one in 100 birds are solid 

 rfeds. I know this to be a fact. When I do 

 go into the show I want to have the best of 

 all colors and they shall be Extra Plymouth 

 Rock stock.— R. B. W., New York. 



OUR WHITE HOMERS COMPARED 

 WITH OUR COLORED HOMERS. I do not 



know of a man I would trust any quicker than 

 you. I would like to Icnow if you have pure 

 white Homers that are as large^ plump birds 

 as yotir colored ones aret — G. M. L., Vermont. 

 Answer. We charge $2.75 a pair for out 

 white Homers, They are fine birds, as large 

 as any white Homers in existence, but are not 

 so large as our Extra colored Homers and do 

 not breed so large a squab. They cost more 

 because they are scarcer; we sell a lot of them 

 for pets, for their handsome plumage, and 

 for undertakers. 



• PROLIFIC PLYMOUTH ROCKS HAVE 

 BRED MORE SQUABS THAN ANY PIGEONS 

 HE HAS. I came down to see you quite 

 awhile ago and bought a pair of your Plymouth 

 Rock Homers. Those Homers have bred 

 more squabs than any other pigeons I have, 

 and I have a good many, will you please 

 send, me your catalogue of prices. — T. C, 

 Massachusetts.
