LEGACIES 



Sums donated by will to the Society are placed in the Reserve Fund of 

 the Society, a use of the money which has peculiar value because of its per- 

 manence. 



The altruistic work of the Massachusetts Audubon Society, carried on 

 for many years with increasing success, suggests the desirability of remem- 

 bering it in this fashion. All the funds of the Society are handled carefully 

 and conservatively, but the Reserve Fund, in the exclusive control of the 

 Board of Directors, is especially worthy of consideration of testators who 

 wish to make legacies of lasting usefulness. 



There will always be need of organized work for bird protection, a 

 form of conservation of the greatest importance to the general welfare. The 

 Reserve Fund of the Society, when of sufficient size, will insure this. Can 

 you not help in this way? 



FORM OF BEQUEST 

 / give and bequeath to the Massachusetts Audubon Society, Incor- 

 porated, the sum of Dollars for its 



Reserve Fund.
