Don’t miss the greatest delight of the spring! 
ID you ever put up a Dodson bird house just outside the 
window . . . when, tho chill winds still blew, folks were 
thinking of spring? And then, heigh-ho, some morning . .. 
the martins, the wrens, the other song birds arrive. Give 
them a perfect home! Watch them raise successive broods of little 
songsters ... merrily feeding to their hungry young the injurious bugs 
from your greening trees and garden. Wonderful little birds . . . 
happy, useful songsters who WORK for us and toss in a song besides! 
Without the song birds, all our gardens, trees and crops would 
be completely destroyed, and even now 12 % are lost thru insects every 
year. That’s why we need the song birds, that’s why it’s our mutual 
duty to help increase their numbers. 
More Dodson houses are sold each year—green and white signs 
of hospitality. They’re sold for a song. They’re scientifically correct, 
and bring the birds back year after year . . . Get started now! Let 
the houses weather. Good folks everywhere insist on Dodson Bird 
Houses. Just order right from this page. They come promptly to you, 
with simple instructions, already to put up . . . Or write to Mr. Dodson!
