Bird-Houses and Bird-Feeders 
Interest in birds and a more complete understanding of their nesting and feeding habits is growing all 
the time. The fact that they are constantly destroying injurious insect-life in our gardens is cause enough 
for all home gardeners to do their utmost, Winter and Summer, to attract birds to their properties. This 
may best be done by putting out nesting-houses and bird-baths for Summer enjoyment, and by maintaining 
feeding stations throughout the Winter where suet and mixed grains are available foods when all natural 
sources are frozen in. 
“A bird in your garden is worth two in your neighbor’s” 
Rustic Bird-Houses 
We have found that birds prefer Rustic Bird 
Houses to any other kind. Each style of house is 
designed to attract certain specific birds, and holes 
are the correct size
