RID THE GARDEN OF INSECT PESTS NOW 
When the green things appear, tender plants and buds, 
you’ll need the song birds. They are the destroyers of the 
insect pests. That is why you see more Dodson Bird 
Houses each year, why they are an important invest¬ 
ment. X These little scientific houses attract the birds 
season after season and help multiply these cheerful 
_ workers. / Your trees, for example, need the woodpeckers. 
Their chisel bills and sharp tongues bore deep into the bark where insects 
lurk. You could not see these insects till the tree was dying! The early 
robin hunts March'flies! / Each Dodson Bird House attracts some helpful 
bird. Order now from Kankakee. Mr. Dodson will gladly advise you. 
Save the garden, the trees and the shrubs!
