THE OOLOGIST 



(of Albion, N. Y.) 

 IS THE OLDEST PUBLICATION IN AMERICA. 



'I'liK Ot')LO(4iST is the cheapest "Bird" publication 

 in the world (for only 50 cents you receive 81.00 

 worth of premiums, your selection, 25('. worth of 

 advertising and the Ooiogist for a whole year). 



Till!: OoLOGiST, has a larger paid circulation than, 

 all other "Bird" publications in America combined. 



Thk Ooi.iiGisT has long been recognized the best 

 .Xdvertising Medium in its line in tlie world. The 

 "Country Gentlemen" is the leading Agricultural 

 newspaper in America, and in soliciting advertising 

 for its columns, it makes its strongest hit in the fol- 

 lowiniu statement: "As to quantity of ciiculation it 

 publishes many more 'Want Ads' than all other 

 papers combined. You dout)t!ess know what a 

 'Want Ad' circulation must be and always is?'' 



From this same stand point The Oologist's rank 

 among puolications devoted not only to Ornith'jlogy 

 but Natural History as well, is iilentical to that of 

 the Coi'NTKY Gentlkmkn among agricultural publi- 

 c.itionsv 



Til K 06'ogist htis very few halftones and contains 

 only l(i pages each issue — one-half of which are ad- 

 vertisning. 



During the past fifteen years, (The Oologist's 

 age) :iiany superior "bird" publications and scores 

 of inferior ones have dropped by the way. The 

 OoixKJisT, however, is still Lssued each month and 

 a sample copy of a recent issue can always be 

 i)btainvd by addressing a pcstal to
