Don't have insect pests about your grounds 



Why not write to Mr. Dodson? He will gladly tell you how to 

 rid your grounds of costly insect pests by attracting the birds. Years of 

 loving study have perfected Dodson Bird Houses. A regard for little 

 details, even ventilation, determines whether birds will occupy a house. 

 And amid the modern devastations of nature, the little birds need homes 

 made for them. Hang one of these quaint houses from a limb, tack one 

 to a tree, put one up on a post ! They will attract the birds.
