Quite a number of our subscribers seem to be anxious to know if we 

 are to give a premium with new subscriptions or renewals next year 

 and what it is to be. Although it is a little early, we are willing to 

 satisfy their curiosity. We have concluded that a fine Art Bird Calen- 

 dar will be the most appropriate premium that we can offer. Contrary to 

 what appears to have been the idea in other bird calenders in the past, 

 we intend to have our birds absolutely true to life in both coloring and 

 markings. It is nov/ in the hands of the engraver and will be ready for 

 delivery December 1st. We have every reason to expect that it will 

 be one, if not the most attractive bird calendars ever published. We 

 have contracted for a number equal only to our present subscription 

 list, consequently orders will be filled in the order received until the 

 supply is exhausted; consequently it will be necessary to order soon 

 after the first of December if not before, in order to be sure of getting 

 one. Renewals may be sent in at any time and they will be advanced 

 one year from the date on which the present subscription expires.
