NOTICES TO SUBSCRIBERS

BIRD-LORE is published for the Audubon Societies on the first of every other month by the Macmillan Co., at Crescent and Mulberry streets, Harrisburg, Pa., where all notices of change of address, etc., should be sent.

Subscribers whose subscriptions expires with the present issue will find a properly dated renewal blank in their magazine. In the event of a desire not to renew, the publishers would greatly appreciate a postal to that effect.

To subscribers whose subscription expired with the issue for December, 1901, and who have as yet neither renewed their subscription nor, in response to our request, sent us a notice to discontinue their magazine, the present number is sent in the belief that the matter of renewal has been overlooked. We trust it will now receive prompt attention.

Complete sets of Volumes I, II, III, IV and V of ‘Bird-Lore’ can still be supplied.

Volume I contains 206 pages, with 79 illustrations; Volume II, 204 pages, with 80 illustrations; Volume III, 228 pages, with 92 illustrations, or a total of 638 pages (euivalent to about 1,200 pages of the average 12mo book), and 251 illustrations.

Every number of ‘Bird-Lore’ is as readable and valuable today as when it was issued, and no bird-lover who is not already supplied can find a better investment than back volumes of this magazine. Vols. I and III are offered at the subscription price of $1 each, postpaid; the price of Vol. II is $3.


Entered as second-class mail matter in the Post Office at Harrisburg, Pa.
