SAVE OUR NATIVE BIRDS 



You can keep native birds about your place 

 many weeks later than usual by setting out the 



Dodson Sheltered Food House 

 for Birds 



and you will save the lives of many birds by so doing. It is 

 a fact that birds do not freeze to death, they starve to death. 

 Many native birds will remain north all winter if they get 

 plenty of food. This is true of robins, thrushes, blue birds^ 

 " ' ' flickers, downy woodpeckers, nut hatches and many other birds. 



This Sheltered Food House should be set out right now — 

 for the bird's sake 



Built of clear, white pine and is 24 x 24 x 18 inches. Price with 8 foot pole 18.00 f, o. b.
