PUBLISHER'S NOTICES 



* 



'Tis not in mortals to COMMAND success, but we'll do 

 more, Sempronius, we'll DESERVE IT. — Addison: Cato. 



Yes, We Are Deserving Success. 



1 find the magazine very interesting 

 as well as instructive — Miss Susan S. 

 Fessenden, Stamford, Connecticut. 



The magazine is very interesting to 

 my pupils as well as myself. — Annette 

 M. Blount. Wellesley, Massachusetts. 



Money does not pay for such con- 

 tributions to the world's literature. — 

 Amelia H. Benjamin. Spring Valley, 

 New York. 



I enjoy Tiik Guide to Nature very 

 much indeed, and hope to continue my 

 subscription as long as I live. Do not 

 see how I ever got along without it. — 

 Mrs. J. B. Lysitt, Little Falls. New York. 



My own personal opinion is that yon 

 have a very fine periodica! and one 

 which should escape by far the fate of 

 a number of our earlier nature books 

 which are now only a sweet recollec- 

 tion of by-gone days. — Louis S. Ko'h- 

 ler, BlcomUeld, New Jersey. 



It is one of the few monthly visitors 

 that receives concentrated attention 

 until all its good points are assimi- 

 lated. Glad to note the signs of pros- 

 perity and hope the work will continue 

 to increase in the same ratio as past. — 

 W. S. Beekman, Cincinnati, Ohio: 



By the way, I must not let this 

 opportunity go by without saying how 

 much I appreciate the work that you 

 are doing in publishing this magazine. 

 I am recommending it to the teachers 

 in the high schools of the state as one 

 of the best things, if not the best 

 thing now available. — Professor Chas. 

 E. Bessey, The University of Nebraska, 

 Lincoln. Nebraska. 



I shall indeed be glad of any oppor- 

 tunity to assist in your work. Your 

 magazine seemed like a breath of coun- 

 try air from New England, and as I 

 was fortunate enough to come from a 

 small town there, you can understand 

 that I appreciate your publication. All 



the issues sent me are in my home. 

 accessible to my friends and family. — ■ 

 Ernest F. Briggs, Chicago, III. 



Catalogue of Anatomical Models. 



The Department of Natural Science 

 of the Kny-Scheerer Company (404- 

 410 Twenty-seventh street, New York 

 City ) has issued a very fine catalogue 

 of anatomical models. In itself it is an 

 interesting text-book on the subject 

 and should be in the hands of every 

 one interested in natural science. 



The C. P. Goerz Optical Co. 



The vacation season having closed, 

 it is probably time to say a few words re- 

 lating to the season's business in photo- 

 graphic lines. 



The C. P. Goerz American Optical Co. 

 report a very satisfactory and encourag- 

 ing sale of their high-grade Anastig- 

 mats and Cameras. The volume of busi- 

 ness handled by them this summer far 

 exceeds that of the same period in the 

 past few years and they look forward to 

 a corresponding heavy demand for their 

 goods during the coming fall and winter 

 months. 



Notwithstanding the increased volume 

 of business the firm has arranged that all 

 of their employees receive the customary 

 vacation with full pay, because the man- 

 agement feels that all the employees, the 

 clerical as well as the factory staff, all 

 who have helped to a successful result. 

 should have a chance for enjoyment and 

 recreation. 



At the present time the Ontical de- 

 partment is away and uoon the return 

 of this force the Mechanical department 

 will lay their tools aside to sojurn to 

 green hills and shady nooks or to the 

 seashore, wherever their inclination 

 draws them. [Later — all home now.] 



Between times the clerical and super- 

 vising staff run off" on a hunt for recrea- 

 tion as it of course will not be possible 

 to close the office for any length of time.
