 natural surrounding.

Ever -Set Sparrow Trap $5 



Including Receiving Cage 't^*.^ 



The trap with a 

 record of 1529 Spar- 

 rows caught in five 

 months is the one 

 to get and catch 

 those noisy, dirty 

 pests which fight 

 away the song birds 

 that we delight to 

 have around, and 

 also get away with 

 the feed i ntended 

 for your poultry, 

 which soon amounts 

 to more than the 

 price of the trap. Send today for a trap which is guaranteed 

 to rid your grounds of the SpaTOws. 



As a Special Price, delivered to any address in the United 

 States for $5., mention Bird-Lore.
