Try and be convinced. Start a class. Money in it. 



BE YOUR OWN TAXIDERMIST. 



Naturalists, Collectors, Gunners, Anglers, Outers, Boys, Girls and all 

 others interested in nature and anxious to preserve the specimens taken 

 in the wood and field, have all felt the need of a simple method of pres- 

 ervation, which is free from intricacies and inexpensive. 



There is a method of rapid taxidermy now in extensive use which 

 meets the requirements of all amateurs who wish a practicable yet sim- 

 ple and inexpensive method of preserving the trophies of the outing and 

 collecting trip. This is not the old system of so-called stuffing, so ex- 

 pensive, laborious and disapointing, but is a rapid system, which any- 

 one 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, or 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 attractions. 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 receipt of $i.oo, cash or stamps, I will send full printed instruc- 

 tions for mounting birds, heads, mammals, etc., and all materials for 

 mounting and preserving specimens — including prepared compound, to- 

 gether 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 I guarantee satisfaction or ??ioney refunded.
