them a place in which are embodied those things that they desire, and they will 
come to you. 
Your previous attempt in winning birds to home with you, if unsuccessful, 
was because of little things that have not been incorporated into their houses. 
That is the reason you are safe when you buy Dodson Bird Houses. You are 
bound to win the birds, for Dodson Bird Houses are built after the most exacting 
study and embody the little things that are essential in providing them a shelter 
in which they will make their home, and raise their broods. 
Here in Kankakee I have from 300 to 400 birds living with me every summer. 
1 have birds at my Michigan farm and birds at my home on the Isle of Pines. 
These birds live with us and are our friends. I want other birds to live with you 
and be your friends. I am willing and anxious to help you attract them. It will 
not be necessary to teach you to love them, for you just can’t help it. 
Give the Birds a Chance 
Get some Dodson Bird Houses and have more friends with wings. Give the 
birds a chance; I promise they will be a factor of joy in your life. I have always 
been interested in birds; even when a boy I built Wren, Martin and Bluebird 
houses, and then studied their habits. They are so interesting. 
Talk about the busy bee, why, it is not in it when it comes to mother Martin 
feeding her four young ones. It is too amusing for anything to see their mouths 
wide open. The mother starts feeding with No. 1 and with careful rotation No. 
2 is fed next; then No. 3, and when No. 4’s turn comes its mouth is surely wide 
open. After it has been fed the mother 
will start all over again with No. 1 
which, by the way, is always the smallest 
and weakest bird. How do I know this? 
Because I watch them with powerful bin¬ 
oculars which bring them up so close that 
I can see every move they make. 
Dodson Bird Houses are built as a re¬ 
sult of years of interesting study and ob¬ 
servation, of carefully selected materials, 
built strongly so as to endure against time, 
with all the little niceties that experi-
