THE OOLOGIST v 



y\dvertise in The OOLOGIST. 



The ''Country Gentlemen" is the leading Agricultural newspaper in Am- 

 'erica, and in soliciting advertising for its columns it makes its strongest hit 

 in the following statement: 



"AS TO QUANTITY OF CIRCULATION 



it publishes many more 'Want Ads' than all other papers combined. You 

 doubtless know what a 'Want Ad' circulation must be a7id always isV 



From this same stand point the Oologist's rank among publications devoted 

 not only to Ornithology but Natural History as well is identical to that of the 

 County Gentlemen among agricultural publications. The "Want Ads." of this, 

 issue, April, of the Oologist were received, unsolicited, in less than three weeks — 

 the ones in March issue during four days— and those of February issue in less than 

 two weeks, for a big batch of them, keep an eye out for the May and June issues. 



Mr. W. Raine, of Toi'onto, who has already purchased $20 worth of space in 

 the Oologist for '98 and w^ho has patronized its columns to a greater or less ex- 

 tent for the past ten years, under date of March 2d, writes: 



"I do not wish to jolly you but I must say that the'OoLOGiST is the best adver- 

 tising journal of its kind in this continent. You should sfee the pile of letters I 

 have received the past two weeks. Many from my old correspondents of years 

 standing. For 1'2 years I have advertised in every Ornithological journal pub- 

 lished in the United States, but none bring as good results as the Oologist."

 ing business. He has placed large orders with me in the past and I 

 now have others booked for this seasons trade.
