I am making birdhouses for you 

 because 0/ years of experience in 

 building houses that would at- 

 tract the birds to my own home 

 and to yours.

 Audubon Association 



And the birds can help you — 



Now is the time to make plans for the birds coming back. These 

 feathered friends save trees and shrubs and plants from thousands of 

 insect pests. You need them. Of course everyone loves the birds — 

 you want to make them neighbors, year after year. That is what 

 Dodson Bird Houses do. 



Birds are strangely particular. A lifetime's study has made Mr. 

 Dodson authoritative on both Bird Houses and birds. His houses 

 are all many times proven. 



Write Mr. Dodson about the growing things on your place, and 

 the birds you can attract. He knows all vicinities. He is helping 

 everywhere. Some of the most beautiful places in America, and 

 some of the most modest, owe the blessings and beauty of the birds 

 to Dodson Bird Houses.

TOWNSEND'S TRIPLEX 



The Greatest 

 Grass-Cutter 

 on Earth 



Cuts a Swath 

 86 Inches 

 Wide 



Floats Over the Uneven Ground 

 as a Ship Rides the Waves 



One mower may be climbing: a knoll, the second 

 skimming- a level, and the third paring a hollow. 

 Drawn by one horse and operated by one man, the 

 TRIPLEX will mow more lawn in a day than the 

 best motor mower ever made; cut it better and at a 

 fraction of the cost. 



Drawn by one horse and operated by one man, it will mow 

 more lawn in a day than any three ordinary horse-drawn 

 mowers with three horses and three men. 



Does not smash the grass to earth and plaster it in the 

 mud in springtime, neither does it crush the life out of the 

 grass between hot rollers and hard, hot ground in summer, 

 as does the motor mower. 



The public is warned not to purchase mowers infringing the 

 Townsend Patent, No. 1,209,519, December 19th, 1916.
