Houses 



T-vc found March the best month to put out new bird houses. 

 They have a chance to season a little before the birds come. 

 It's the early birds, too, that need protection.

WrenHouse, solid oak, cypress 

 shingles, copper coping, 4 com- 

 partments, 28 inches high, 18 

 inches diameter: Price $6.00. 



Last March, 500 Dodson Bird Houses of 

 various designs were installed at the Olympia 

 Fields Country Club,Chicago. During the sum- 

 mer every house was occupied. The club grounds 

 were alive with birds, bird songs filled the air. 

 More than this — the trees, shrubs and greens 

 were protected from insect pests. The trouble- 

 some mosquito was materially reduced in number.
