PUBLISHER'S NOTICES 



Expert Tree Climbers. 



Whv talk about the ability and the 

 daring of steeple climbers? In many 

 respects they in no way even approach 

 those of tree sprayers. The steeple 

 climber has only height to overcome. 

 He always has a secure foundation, 



HIGH CLIMBING WITH INSECURE FOUNDA 

 TION. 



but the tree climber ventures not only 

 upward, but outward on slender limbs, 

 regarding the strength of which he has 

 no positive knowledge, because there 

 may be a flaw in that limb, or it may 

 so branch from the tree as to split 



easily from the main trunk. But fear- 

 lessly these featherless bipeds imitate 

 the birds and perch on the slenderest 

 branches. 



The accompanying illustration is a 

 good example of this brave work in the 

 behalf of trees. It was kindly loaned 

 to The Guide to Nature by The Frost 

 & Bartlett Company of Stamford, 

 whose men are regarded everywhere 

 as the most expert in the profession. 



Will Return to Original Location. 



Willoughby and a Square Deal. 

 known the world over, moved, in 1907. 

 from 810 Broadway to their present 

 quarters. About the first of next May 

 they intend to return to 810, there to 

 occupy a new down-to-date store that 

 comprises three floors and all the ac- 

 commodations that a modern building 

 offers. 



It is remarkable at what low prices 

 Willoughby and a Square Deal supply 

 enthusiastic camerists everywhere with 

 the very best goods. They offer bar- 

 gains in high grade lenses so attrac- 

 tive that there seems to be no reason 

 why every camerist should not have an 

 anastigmat lens. Their prices on many 

 such lenses that have been used only 

 slightly are actually less than one-half 

 of the catalogue price. 



We have received from the Taylor- 

 Hobson Co., a copy of their 1912 cata- 

 logue which lists the latest sizes and 

 models of Cooke Anastigmat lenses 

 and which also includes particulars of 

 the new Cylex double anastigmats and 

 of the Cooke-Telar lenses which have 

 been advertised in these pages for the 

 photographing of distant subjects and 

 for nature studies. A copy of this cata- 

 logue will gladly be forwarded upon 

 request. The address of The Taylor- 

 Hobson Co., is 1135 Broadway, New 

 York City.
