The Jacobs Bird House Co. 



404 South Washington Street, Waynesburg, Pa. 



WISHES to announce that it has triumphed in 

 a long-fought battle against excessive 

 freight rates on bird-houses. Alone, and 

 fighting single-handed, we have established with 

 the railroads a classification for bird-houses and 

 bird-house poles, reducing the freight rate on the 

 former 33/3 per cent, and on the latter 66"3 per 

 cent; or, on the whole, cutting the former freight 

 rates through the middle. This means encourage- 

 ment for our customers, a victory for the birds, and 

 a great triumph for J. Warren Jacobs, the founder 

 and head of this concern, and the first American to 

 step boldly to the front and propose to manufacture 

 and place on the market properly constructed bird- 

 houses and nest-boxes for American birds.

Back Numbers of Bird-Lore 



WE can no longer furnish complete sets of 

 BIRD-LORE, but we still have on hand 

 odd numbers, prior to the current volume, which, 

 while they are lacking in value from the libra- 

 rian's point of view, to the bird student are just 

 as useful and just as interesting as they were on 

 the day of publication. 



These numbers are offered at a discount of 

 50 per cent, that is, ten cents per number, to 

 purchasers of ten or more numbers. To those 

 wishing to complete their sets of BIRD-LORE, 

 we offer the free use of our advertising columns.
