UPON APPLICATION OF ROOST-NO-MORE TO THEIR ROOSTING PLACES


"ROOST-NO-MORE" is the only - YES, the ONLY - Proven Method of Ridding Buildings of Birds. It is Proven the World Over.


GUARANTEED FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR


BEWARE OF IMITATIONS SUCH AS COMMON GREASE OR OTHER NON-EFFECTIVE SUBSTITUTES

INON-TOXIC MARK


NON-INFLAMMABLE


"ROOST-NO-MORE" IS


· WEATHERPROOF-Rain will not wash it away, sunlight will not dissipate it.


· NON-INFLAMMABLE-It absolutely does not create any fire hazard.


· NON-TOXIC-It does not kill or injure birds in any way; and it is completely harmless and odorless to human beings.


"ROOST-NO-MORE" is a harmless gelatin compound that birds find very disagreeable underfoot. It is applied only to natural landing places, such as cornices, ledges, window sills and gutter edges. The birds are effectively pre- vented from roosting up to one year. Since birds are creatures of habit, they therefore rarely return to a building that once has been treated.


"ROOST-NO-MORE" has been used success- fully on thousands of buildings in the New England area. A few of the more prominent ones are:


· Peerless Co.


· N.E. Telephone and Telegraph Co., Prov.


. Citizens Savings Bank, Providence


Unsolicited letters of recommendation are on file in our office, and are available for your inspection.


We will be pleased to send a representative to survey your building and submit an estimate-No obligation, of course!
