. The national standard squab book. Pigeons. 114 NATIONAL STANDARD SQUAB BOOK writers of these letters because many of them are regular buyers of our birds, arid moreover, we cannot advertise other breeders free of charge. These letters and the testimony they give are valueless if they are not ganuine.
