Since 1869 ; 
The joyful song of a Canary fills one’s home with wonderful good cheer and can change an 
atmosphere of gloom to one of happiness in a few moments. 
Canaries need little care, as they require little attention, yet they give us much in return. 
Cages now are inexpensive. They add color and brightness to the home. The cost of main- 
taining a Canary is very little. “A Canary would be an inspiration to every home. 
As a gift to a shut-in or invalid, and to teach children responsibility—a Canary has no equal

Man’s Best Friend 
Ever stop to think what a 
lonely place 
This “Old World’ would be 
Without a dog, without a cat, 
without a canarys 
A little boy would never learn 
about kindness 
Without a kitten of his own— 
An elderly lady would never have 
known joy and comfort 
Of having a “Singing Bird’ 
in her home, 
A man would never learn about 
true friends 
lf it were not for his dog's loyalty, 
which never ends. 
For others may turn their thumbs 
down on him, 
But a dog, never! 
He'll follow him and see him 
through anything. 



Breeding 
of 
Canaries 


Is a very fascinating pastime. German families in the — 
Hartz Mountains have enjoyed this work for genera- 
tions. On Saint Valentine’s Day, the male and female 
are put together—for their patron saint is thought to 
bring about a happy mating. Five eggs are, as a rule, 
laid. Fourteen days are required to bring forth feath- 
erless infants. In four weeks they are out of the nest 
and mother and daddy are building a new nest for the 
next family. 
We supply all necessary breeding equipment, foods 
and accessories. Also practical books on the subject.
