"SHORT, "our local Dealer in Supplies and 

 Specimens for the Naturalist, In a recent con- 

 versation very flatteringly assured us that the 

 Oologist was practically the only medium 

 which bad paid him from an advertising 

 standpoint and that in the future he should 

 confine his ads. almost' exclusively to its col- 

 umn?. 



"BURNHAM," the Opal Dealer and Manu- 

 facturing Jeweler of Providence, R. I., recent- 

 ly made us a very pleasant visit and in speak- 

 ing of his past experience with advertising in 

 the Oologist said to this effect, "That in all of 

 his extended advertising, for. the amount in- 

 vested the Oologist beat them all and that he 

 sometimes thought it was the only medium 

 that really ;;o?rf." We were convinced that he 

 knew wliei'eof he spoke from the fact that he 

 greatly increased his order for space and left 

 witn us "collateral" sufficient to more than 

 cover half a dozen pages. 



"THE OSPREY" is unquestionably the most 

 popular and up-to-date illustrated Ornitholog- 

 ical magazine in the entire world and the two- 

 page adv. in the Oologist testifies volumes in 

 relation to the enterprise and hustling quali- 

 ties of its Editor and Publisher. These same 

 two pages of advertising, as well as two more 

 contracted for future issues of The Oologist 

 illustrates how a Brother Publisher regards 

 tbe Oologist as an advertising medium and 

 adds a very substantial testimonial, to the 

 thousands previously received as to the Oolo- 

 GIST'S value in that direci ion. For these four 

 pages the Publisher of the "Osprfy" pays our 

 regular and only rate viz:— 18 40 per page or 

 5c per line. The Oologist has but a single 

 rate and it makes no difference whether you 

 wish to use 5 lines or 10 pagres of space it will 

 cost you 5c per line for each and every inser- 

 tion and furthermore the little 5 line adv. i» 

 .iust as gratefully received as a full page one.
