All Birds 

 Are NOT 

 Woodpeckers 



Simply because 

 some birds choose 

 the path of least re- 

 sistance and dwell 

 in abandoned wood- 

 pecker nests, all too 

 many bird houses 

 now offered are 

 built for woodpeck- 

 ers! To attract the 

 birds you must pro- 

 vide food, water and shelter! But unless the shelter is congenial, do not 

 expect to hold your friends in feathers! 



Educator Log Cabins 



for Birds and Household Pets 



are built along lines based upon intimate expert studies of bird and 

 animal requirements. Roomy, yet warm, easily kept clean because of 

 special construction. They are substantially made to give many years 

 of service to either season's guests or permanent friends. 



Every bird lover will find our 32 page Booklet describing the complete 

 line of Educator Log Cabins full of valuable hints how to attract birds 

 and how to hold them. Shows many cabins "at work" under natural 

 surroundings. A copy of this booklet is gladly sent free on request if 

 you mention Garden Magazine.
