BIRD GUIDE is now in its 27th THOUSAND. Have you got one? 

 Everyone likes it and says so. We have a bushel of kindly remarks like the 

 following: 



"I find your little Bird Guide much more popular than any other one book."' 

 — Frederick F. Smith, Science Dept, Normal School, Gorham, Me. 



"We are delighted with Bird Guide. All who love the woods and wild birds 

 should have it." — B. M. Stigall, Dept. Biology, High School, Kansas City. 



"I think Bird Guide a very valuable little book, and all our teachers who have 

 seen it are delighted with it." — F. D. Boynton, Supt. of Schools, Ithaca, N. Y. 



"We can pronounce Bird Guide to be the best and only book fulfilling all the 

 requirements of teachers, students and beginners in bird study." — James E. 

 Hughes, Publisher of The Young Idea. 



"Permit me to congratulate you on your Bird Guide. It is truly remarkable 

 how much you have been able to get into so small a compass, — a working ac- 

 quaintance with over 400 birds in the vest pocket. It will be a boon to the busy 

 teacher." — Dr. C. F. Hodge, Prof, of Biology, Clark University, Mass. 



"Bird Guide is the manual I have been wanting for over twenty-five years. 

 What a boon it would have been when I was a boy beginning the study of my 

 feathered neighbors, or.later, to have recommended to my audiences who were 

 always asking me how they could name all the birds 'without a gun.' Well, 

 at last, in this beautiful little book, we have what we have long sought. 

 How handy it is! Neither heavy nor bulky, it fits snugly into my pocket, and 

 away I hie to the haunts of the birds." — Leander S. Keyser, Author and Lec- 

 turer.
