Have you tried my 

 process of Rapid 

 Taxidermy? 



If not you vi'ill 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. ;rhe cost is next to nothing, and 

 VFhen several go in and work together, there is 

 no cost. You may make money in any town 

 or the country. 



On receipt of $i.oo 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 exchange. What have 

 you to offer? Address
