Have you tried my 

 process of Rapid 

 Taxidermy? 



If not you will be gratified by a big surprise. 

 There is money to be made by the preservation 

 of specimens for the market or the school, par- 

 lor, office and den. Any boy, girl or sportsman 

 may learn this method at the first attempt, and 

 decorate the trophies and birds of the neigh- 

 borhood. The cost is next to nothing, and 

 when several go in and work together, there is 

 no cost. You may make money in any town 

 or the country, [ 



On receipt of 91.00 cash or stamps I will 

 send the complete printed instructions to 

 mount Birds, Mammals, Heads, etc , and one 

 pound of the Preservative, ready prepared for 

 the work ; together with complete directions 

 for dressing skins with the hair on, for rugs, 

 robes and hangings, and in addition I will 

 make the extra inducement of offering the for- 

 mula for making the Preservative Compound, 

 with the privilege of selling the .same. 



The process will be exchanged for $3.00 worth 

 of stamps, or for other exahange. What have 

 you to offer? Address
