BE YOUR OWN TAXIDERMIST. 



Naturalists, Collectors, Gunners, Anglers, Outerp, Boys, Girls and all others in- 

 terested in nature and anxious to preserve the specinoens taken in wood and 

 field, have all felt the need of a simple method of preservation, which is free from 

 intricacies and inexpensive. 



There is a method of rapid taxidermy now in extensi'^e use which meets the re- 

 quirements of all amateurs who wish a practicable yet simple and inexpensive 

 msthod of preserving the trophies of the outing and collecting trip. This is not 

 the old system of so-called stuffing, so expensive, laborious and disappointing, 

 but is a rapid system, which anyone can learn at once and which is guaranteed to 

 give satisfaction. 



By 'this process you may preserve the beautiful plumage of the grouse and 

 woodcock, or the pike's or buck's head, o'' the showy feathers of the tanager. 

 Boys, girls and all others can do good work and may make money, as mounted 

 heads and birds find a ready sale, and besides you may teach your friends and 

 decorate the schoolroom, office and dining-room with native birds and other at- 

 tractions. If you are in doubt, then get your friends to go in with you and start a 

 class, for when several work together there is an advantage, and the expense is 

 next to nothing. 



On the receipt of $1 00, cash or stamps I will send full printed instructions for 

 mounting birds, heads, mammals, etc., and all materials for mounting and pre- 

 serving specimens — including prepared compound, together with full directions 

 for dressing skins with the hair on for rugs and robes, so that you will not be to 

 the expense of one cent and will send full directions how to start a class. 



Remember 1 guarantee satisfaction or money rejunded.
