Save Our Native Birds 



You can keep native birds 

 about your place many weeks 

 later than usual by setting out 



The Dodson Sheltered 

 Food House for Birds 



and you will save the lives of 

 many birds by so doing. It is a 

 fact that birds do not freeze to 

 death — they starve to death. 

 Many native birds will remain 

 North all Winter if they get 

 plenty of food. This is true of 

 Robins, Thrushes, Bluebirds, 

 Downy Woodpeckers, Flickers, 

 Nut Hatches and many other 

 birds. 



This Shelter- Feeding House should 

 be set out right now — for the 

 birds' sake. 



Trap For Sparrows 



You can get rid of English Sparrows — 

 the pests that drive away song birds. 



The Dodson Sparrow Trap 



is catching thousands of sparrows. Used all over Amer- 

 ica. Works automatically all the time. Remove spar- 

 rows once a day. 



Built of clear, white pine — 24x24x18 

 inches. Price with 8 foot pole, $8.00 

 f. o. b., Chicago — with copper roof, 

 $10.00. A smaller Shelter and Feed- 

 ing Table (different design) with 8 

 foot pole, $6.00 — with copper roof, 

 $7.50.
