ORDINARY QUARTERS. 

 The Pennsjdvania customer whose letter is printed on, this page is doing well here. 



SEVEN PAIRS QUICKLY AT "WORK. ORDERING EVERY MONTH. The seven pairs of 

 Plymouth Rock Homers arrived on April 24 in first-class order. Five nests are finished (May 7), 

 one has two eggs and there are two other nests in the course of construction, which speaks 

 mighty well for your stock, I think. I expect to send you an order the latter part of this month 

 and intend buying every month. In that way I will not feel the investment so much. 



One could not ask for better stojck than you sent me. I am well pleased and shall be glad 

 to boost your stock among my friends. My neighbor is more than ever chagrined at the job 

 lot that was shipped him from the southern part of the State and will undoubtedly send you 

 an order before long. Thank you for the pains you must have taken in selecting my birds. 



(Later. August, 1908.) I write you to give you the address of a gentleman who is going 

 into the squab business. You can use my name or not, just as you desire, but one thing you 

 can use to him is my recommendation. When I return from my vacation, September 1, I intend 

 placing another order for 10 pairs more of Extra Plymouth Rocks. My birds have done fine 

 and as long as I get such birds from you, you can expect my order and all others I can throw 

 your way. There is all sorts of rivalry here on account of the show in January*. — J. B., 

 Pennsylvania. 



YEAR'S TRIAL SATISFACTORY, AND 

 GOING AHEAD. I thought you might be 

 interested to know that the birds we pur- 

 chased of you last January have turned out 

 finely, we having lost but two, and this on 

 account of flying against the wire, breaking 

 their necks. We decided to give the birds 

 a thorough trial for a year, being novices 



at the business, and I am stire as soon as the 

 year is up, we will place another order with 

 you, as your birds have been greatly admired 

 by other raisers here, and they have done what 

 you said they would. We have had no trouble 

 in selling the squabs, which have ranged from 

 ten to thirteen ounces each, receiving in nearly 

 every case from 50 cents to 75 cents per pair. — 

 C, W. C, Pennsylvania.
