MORE STORIES OF SUCCESS 



RAPID BREEDING. CONTENTED MIND 

 AND A CLEAR RECOMMENDATION FOR 

 PLYMOUTH ROCK HOMERS. Tnis is the 

 tirst time I have had occasion to write you. a 

 for a year, so here it is briefly. Being a 

 business man myself, I know the value of 

 lime. I put 21 pairs Plymouth Rock Homers 

 in loft August 6, 1906. Have sold. and eaten 

 ten and one-half dozen squabs. Have on 

 hand to-day, October 8, 1907, 80 pairs mated 

 breeders and near the end of the moulting 

 season. I have about a dozen not ready for 

 market aiid about a dozen paira of eggs, 

 divided between two lofts, 40 pairs in each 

 %nd outside of fear of rats. I have a contented 

 iiind and a clear reconmiend for Plymouth 

 aock Homers.— W. T. P., Ohio. 



RAISED FROM PLYMOUTH ROCK EXTRAS. 

 In sending the above picture he writes: "The 

 parents I goi from you. I refused ten dollars a pair 

 for one pair this winter. I have seen several large 

 squab ranches in Delaware but. on ail of them I never 

 saw. any birds that could throw such birds as those 

 sold by you." 



MONTANA MAN LIKES OUR STYLE OF 

 DOING BUSINESS. Received vour notice 

 of shipment of birds yesterday (Sxmday 29) 

 and received the four pairs of fine Extra 

 Homers to-day (30th) all in good shape. 

 They are all fine birds and we are much 

 pleased with them. It was very kind and 

 generous of you people to send an extra pair 

 free of charge, and also drinker and bowls 

 as we did not expect either. If this our first 

 venture proves successful, you can rest 

 assured you shall hear from us again, I like 

 your style of doing business. — H. S. C, 

 Montana. 



A TREAT TO BE TREATED WELL. The 



eleven pairs of birds (second order) arrived 

 here yesterday and all in first-class condition. 

 I shall place another ordei shortly, as I have 

 to complete the buildings, and I am highly 



? leased at the manner your firm does business. 

 t is a treat to know that one's order is filled 

 satisfactorily. — ^J. N., Virginia. 



SQUABS SOLD TO HOTEL FOR FIFTY 

 CENTS A PAIR IN KENTUCKY. I received 

 your shipment of six pairs of Extra Homers, 

 all in good condition ; tnank you for the Extra 

 hen. This was the finest lot of Homers I ever 

 saw in size and plumage, which is so tmiform 

 that it is hard to tell one from the other. I 

 will send for another order some time next 

 month. I sold three pairs of squabs this 

 morning at 50 cents per pair to the hotel, 

 and they say that my squabs are fhie. (Later.) 

 Find enclosed money order for which send me 

 six pairs of your Extra nest-mated Homers, 

 checlrered and uniform in plumage. Every 

 pair I have are working and some have two 

 nests; one has three young squabs, which I 

 think is unusual. — A, H., Kentucky. 



FIVE YEARS OF SUCCESS BY A NEW 

 YORK STATE WOMAN. In October of 

 1902 I sent you a check for $102.75 for 

 pigeons. My pigeons have done very well, 



I ship to New York each week. I have 'Just 

 been reading your new squab book of 1907 

 and ^vould very much Kke the address of the 

 firm, you quote in appendix on page 141 and 

 top first column page 143. lUndly send it 

 to me thereby helping an old customer. 

 Also kindly send me price of the new drinking 

 fo^lntain spoken of in your Manual. I need 

 three new ones and if satisfactory as to price 

 will buy of you. — Miss O. W., New York. 



STOCK DOUBLED IN MOULTING SEA- 

 SON. We have sent you to-day an order for 

 grain for which we hope you will send as soon 

 as possible. We bought stock from you 

 several times, the first order sent in about 

 June 1. Since that time (three months) the 

 stock has doubled. We expect to place a 

 large order in the spring along about March. 

 We have about 75 birHs in stock at present 

 and started with a stock of 32. We shall 

 have to have a few white birds in our next 

 order. What is the price of the white stock 

 at present? Hoping you will send us the 

 grain soon. — C. & F., Massachusetts. 



FAST NESTING BY MATED PAIRS IN 

 TEXAS. My birds received August 1^ and 

 turned into pen; the 17th they were building 

 their nests, making sever, days from arrival — 

 all the birds in good shape. One did not fly 

 on perch for about two minutes, but after this 

 time have^ nothing wrong with them. They 

 have certainly proven, all mat you have recom- 

 mended of them and as to nesting have beaten 

 your figures quite a bit. Thanking you for 

 your extra favor, will do more business as 

 soon as I locate where I will make my squab 

 farm.— G. R., Texas. 



MANUAL WORTH TEN DOLLARS. I am 



very much pleased with your Manual and 

 think it worth $10. I shall send you an order 

 for breeding stock some time this month, 

 and grain and supplies, just as quick as I can 

 get my house built. — ^T. H., Massachusetts.
