NEST BOWLS AND NESTS 47 



these bowls out of wood pulp. Their success was quickly 

 demonstrated and now we sell nothing else. These wood- 

 pulp nest bowls have all the advantages of the wood bowls 

 and at the same time are practically indestructible, cannot 

 warp or split. The wood pulp of which they are made is thick 

 and exceedingly tough, being solidified under many tons' 

 pressure. We sell these wood-pulp nest bowls in one size only, 

 nine inches in' diameter. For prices and further particulars, 

 see our free catalog. We make prompt shipment from Melrose 

 same day order is received, in any quantity. No order is filled 

 for less than one dozen. We have the exclusive sale of these 

 goods and they cannot be obtained elsewhere. They are not 

 manufactured in the United States. We import them. Accord- 

 ing to our experience, these nest bowls soon pay for themselves 

 in an increased squab yield. 



The adyantages of this nest pan are these :_ (1) The eggs roll 

 to the centre and are always close together under the birds. 



(2) It is warmer than earthenware and eggs are not chilled. 



(3) It is cleaned without water by means of a trowel, and 

 may then be whitewashed, if desired. (4) The claws of the 

 old birds and squabs do not sprawl, and no cases of deformed 

 legs in the squabs are found. (5) It is unbreakable. (6) 

 When shipped either short or long distances, no packitig is 

 necessary, they are lighter and the freight bill is smaller. 

 (7) And finally the birds " take " to them more readily than 

 to earthenware, getting to work more quickly and producing 

 more squabs. 



We make this wood pulp nest bowl in only one size as 

 specified and illustrated (two sizes are not necessary because 

 the feet of the squabs do not sprawl as in the case of the 

 earthenware nappies). You will need one pair of nest bowls 

 for every pair of pigeons (in other words, one nest bowl to 

 every pigeon). If you order twenty -four pairs of breeders 

 you will need forty-eight nest bowls. If you order ninety-six 

 pairs of breeders you will need one hundred and ninety-two 

 nest bowls. 



We know our birds will breed more successfully in these 

 nest bowls than in earthenware, and to make it an object 

 for you to buy them, you may deduct the freight charges 

 on nest bowls from your order for birds. First order your 

 nest bowls sent by freight, then when you order your breeders.
