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

ECONOMICAL
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!

If your home suffers from LOW HOUSEPOWER, if it hasn't a 3-wire service entrance of at least 100-AMPERE CA- PACITY, call your electric contractor today. Without obligation, he'll advise you how to put your home in the FULL HOUSEPOWER class. Then you can take full ad- vantage of low cost electricity to live happily - electri- cally - as never before.
