^ Truly, Dodson Bird Houses have become 
fashionable. But why? 
These quaint signs of hospitality attract the 
beautiful songsters. So artistic are the Dodson 
Bird Houses, that one is apt to overlook the scien¬ 
tific details which Mr. Dodson has perfected after 
years of study. Not so the birds! They approve 
them season after season, building their homes, 
raising successive broods of little songsters 
Gentle folks love the birds, know their happy 
influence, their inspiration. Dodson Bird Houses 
open this joy to you 
But, remember, always, the WORK of the song 
birds. A thousand mosquitoes a day are destroyed 
by just one graceful martin! Trees are protected 
from boring pests by the flicker family! All your 
green growing things are INSURED thru the 
song birds you attract
