The Best Rat Catcher Ever Made. 



The only Traps that sell ou their Merits after 

 being used. 



Tlie cut represents the trap set. It folds 

 lip so that it can be carried easilj' in the pock- 

 et. It will not rust, warp, split, or get out of 

 order like the wooden traps, being made of 

 Japanned Iron, and Copper-steel wire. It 

 will not retain any smell of dead animals to 

 warn the wary. 



^We can recommend this trap as filling the 

 wants of every Naturalist in the field, and 

 shall be pleased to quote rates in dozen or 

 gross lots. Size suitable for rats, 25e pre- 

 paid. Size suitable for mice and other small- 

 er grade of mammals, 15c prepaid.

Do You Wish to Learn 

 the Art of Taxidermy? 



It has been my custom in years past to 

 teach taxidermy in my shops at Clyde, N. Y. 

 Having had several applications from out of 

 town parties to teach in different cities, I 

 have decided to visit the towns and cities of 

 the state on the following terms. Until Sept. 

 15, 1895, I will give one and one-half days in- 

 struction in town or city in New York State 

 at the low rate of $5.00 a person, providing a 

 class of not less than three persons wish to 

 take in each town. Any person getting up a 

 class of three I will give instruction at half 

 rate, or if you will get a class of five will give 

 instruction free. 



Do not waste your time attempting the al- 

 most impossible task of self instruction from 

 a text book or worst still make a meat mar- 

 ket of your home by some false embalming 

 method. 



Can furnish the best of references on ap- 

 plication. Formerly taxidermist for Wai'd's 

 Natural Science Establishment, Rochester, N. 

 Y., also for W. F. Webb, Albion, N. Y. 



Those contemplating taking lessons should 

 write at once as my route for the summer is 

 being laid out.
