CHRISTMAS SUGGESTIONS THAT WILL SAVE YOU 



TIME AND EFFORT, AND CHARM GIFT RECIPIENTS 



The burden of much Christmas shopping and the preparing of many 

 packages can be eased by using the services that Chicago Natural History 

 Museum offers: 



(1) Christmas Gift Memberships 



If you will send to the Director the name 

 and address of the person you desire to 

 remember with a Museum membership, 

 together with your remittance to cover 

 membership fee or dues, the Museum will 

 handle all further details. For your con- 

 venience a CHRISTMAS GIFT MEM- 

 BERSHIP ORDER FORM is enclosed. 

 Additional copies of this form are available 

 on request. 



An attractive Christmas card notifying 

 the recipient that through your generosity 

 he has been elected a Member of the 

 Museum, will be sent together with mem- 

 bership card and information concerning 

 privileges as a Member, (and certificate in 

 the case of Life and Associate Members). 



The recipient of a Museum membership 

 will be most enthusiastic over a gift so 

 individual and distinctive. 



(2) Museum Boole Shop Gifts 



The Book Shop is prepared to furnish 

 books, endorsed for scientific authenticity 

 by members of the Museum staff, for both 

 adults and children. You are invited to 

 browse in the Book Shop during part of your 

 next visit to the Museum. 



Where desired, the Book Shop will handle 

 mail and telephone (WABash 9410) orders, 

 and will undertake all details in connection 

 with wrapping, and the dispatching of gift 

 purchases to the designated recipients, 

 together with such forms of greeting as the 

 purchaser may specify.
