The Osprey does not keep a poet, 

 but it has an office eat who can catch 

 more birds than all the poets put to- 

 gether. If you don't believe this, read 

 The Ospket. If you want to buy, sell 

 or exchange specimens, advertise in 

 The Ospkey. If you want to keep in

 Ospkey. If you want to write about 

 Birds, you can do it in The Osprey, 

 provided you know how to write. If 

 you like a beautifully pi'inted and pro- 

 fusely illustrated magazine, all about 

 Birds you must have The Ospbey.
