HONORS ABROAD rrr 



o 



Of course we are glad to receive official notice that Birds and Nature has 

 been awarded the Grand Prize at Paris. This is the highest award given to any 

 United States magazine. In the same mail we got the following order: 



" Enclosed find Money Order for $40 for which please send seven sets of the Birds and Nature magazines, 

 and four sets of the colored pictures to Rev. Marist Brothers, 153 E. 76th St., New York, N. Y., marked en- 

 closure to France." Brother Henry, Laval College, Que. 



One should buy books he will not outgrow. There has never been pub- 

 lished before a series of nature and outdoor books to compare with these and 

 they are of interest alike to young and old — the most popular gift and holiday 

 books. 



These books have cost over $80,000 and were it not for the fact that the 

 sales are large and increasing we could not make the following low prices: 



Set of 8 volumes, cloth, containing- 376 plates $8.00 



Set of 4 double volumes, half morocco, containing 376 plates 8.00 



The unbound magazines '97, '98, '99, 1900, 1901 S.OO 



The 376 colored plates 3,76 



We always recommend the set of four double volutnes, half morocco, $8; the regular price 

 is $12.
