BUSINESS MANAGER’S ANNOUNCEMENT 
Important Condor Information 
This number closes the best volume in The Condor’s career. With 
the co-operation of all the members and subscribers we can make 1911 a 
winner. Co-operation means success. 
We want every public library in the west to be taking The Condor 
before 1912. This means for you to see that your library has it. Please 
do this, and “ Do it now." 
We want every member to bring in at least one new member and as 
many more as possible. Remember one thing, kind reader, that both the 
business managers are very busy men and every help from the outside is a big 
help. The finances of The Condor will not stand any expenses for clerk 
hire, and all the drudgery must be borne by the business managers. Hence 
we ask “co-operation.” You will please note that the business managers 
are always open for suggestions and are very glad for any advice, which 
will help out The Condor. 
We think we are publishing the finest bird magazine in the world, not 
in size, but in the quality of the articles and half-tones, and, not least, the 
printing, and the paper it is printed on. Don’t you think so, too? 
Boost and help us make it better than ever, for the larger the member- 
ship and subscriber’s list, the better we can make The Condor. 
Once more I ask you to help us by bringing in new members and new 
subscribers and by promptly paying up your own dues and subscriptions. 
Remember the Cooper Club’s avowed principles: 
“For the observation and co-operative Study of Birds, because of the re- 
sulting plesure; 
For the spred of interest in Bird Study, so that this plesure may be shared 
by others; 
For the publication of Ornithological knowledge, as being a contribution 
to science.” 
W. Tee Chambers, 
Bus. Manager , The Condor,
