Ever -Set Sparrow Trap 



Including Receiving Cage 



The trap with a 

 record of 1529 Spar- 

 rows caught i n 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 

 to rid your grounds of the Sparrows. 



As a Special Price, delivered to any address in 

 States for $5. Mention Bird-Lore. 



Record catch so far reported by Mr. R. E. Ristrini
