Have found your Embalming Process a suc- 

 cess. Am satisfied. F. A. Norton. 

 Crystal Springs. Kansas. June 6. 18->ti. 



Your Pi"oress works well. I am thoroughly 

 satisfied. Many points in your method are 

 superior to all others. L. B. Hartzell. 



Albany. N. Y.. Oct. Ki, 1886. 



Dear Sir: — I have mounted birds for over 

 thirty years, but have never known simplicity 

 and the perfect arringement of the leg.s and 

 wings until I purchased and tried your Method. 

 My boy, whom I have been teaching the old 

 style of stuffing for over two years and without 

 success, succeeded admirably with your pro- 

 cess the lirst attempt. I am delighted with it. 

 B. J. Hinchman. 



Dear Sir— The Process is a great success and 

 gives me much pleasure. My littl» girl can 

 mount birds in a life-like manner after two 

 weeks practice, much to her delight. She is 

 el»ven years old. My boy ot fourteen succeed- 

 ed at the first attempt, Yoar method ot shap- 

 ing the body and wings is superior to all others.

Doar Sir:— I have tried the Embalming Pro- 

 cess bought of you. and Hud it remarkably sat- 

 isfactory. Yours Sincerely, 



Stephen P. Harwood. 

 Coatsville, Penna.. April 2-i. 1888. 



Dear Sir:— Yours of the I3tli inst at hand and 

 in reply I would say that the Compound is O. 

 K. and' has done more for me than you claim it 

 will do. 1 do all of ray custom 'axidermy work 

 by your process. The first two objects that I 

 attempted were a Wood Duck and a Raccoon. 

 It is now over three months and they are as 

 natural as life. Yours Truly, Wm. D. Doane. 

 June 13. 1889. 

 Dr. M. Gibbs. 



Dear Sir:— [ now fully understand your Pro- 

 cessor Embalming. aud'can honestly pronounce 

 it a success in every way. My first trial was 

 satisfactory. The process is easily learned, 

 and specimens can be mounted by yuur way in 

 one-fourth the time retiuired by the old method 

 of stuffing; the sijecimeiis retaining their form 

 much better also. Yours truly. 



E. E. Shailer, Tylerville, Conn. 



Knoxville, Tenn.. April 27, lS9.i. 

 Dear Sir:— 1 cheerfully recommend your 

 Process of Embalming: especially for begin- 

 ners, as it simplifies the delicate work with 

 small birds. The attitudes can also be. made 

 much truer to nature than by the other meth- 

 ods commonly u.sed by taxldermisls. 

 Very Truly Yours, S. \. Ogden, Taxidermist. 



May 19, 18H8. 

 The undersigned as", a taxidermist for more 

 than forty years according tr> the several trad- 

 itional methods for mounting birds and mam- 

 mals, hail his attention, in the autumn of '87. 

 drawn by an advertisement to Gibbs' -Embalm- 

 ing Process." A so.iouru of about four months 

 in Southern Florida has given me the leisure 

 to mount about three dozen birds of dilTerent 

 sizes with most gratifying results, especially 

 the immediate and perfectly natural ad.iust- 

 meut of the wings, legs and 'tail, as no other 

 method of the many I have studied secures. 

 Thus far my experience leads me to an un- 

 qualified recommendation of the -Process." 

 J. W. P. Jenks. 

 Professor of Agricultural Zoology, and Curator 

 of the Museuui of Brown University. Provi- 

 dence, K. I. 



[rj.\TEK: Professor Jenks mounted over one 

 hundred birds by this Process, and could not 

 say enough in praise of the system. Birds the 

 size of Pelicans and Cormorants were success- 

 fully preserved ] 



Chicago, Ills.. May Ifi, 1888. 

 Dear Sir:— Have partially prepared birds by 

 your Process and allowed to lie a week before 

 finishing. I can in two minutes prepare a bird 

 so it w^ill last, or I can mount a small bird per- 

 fectly in thirty minutes. George Pratt. 

 August 13, 1891. 

 Dr. Morris Gibbs: — 



Dear Sir:— I send the following unsolicited 

 testimonial regarding your .iustly celebrated 

 Process of Embalming. I purchased over two 

 years ago and after a thorough trial pronounce 

 it perlection. and far superior to all others. 

 Charles F. Johnscm, Kansas City. Mo. 

 Allegan. Mich . April 27. 18S8. 

 Dear Sir:— The instructions and Embalming 

 Process received. My son is making rapid 

 progress for one so young. Is tilling the house 

 with mounted specimens. D. F. Stuck. M. D. 

 Kinloch. Mo.. April 18, 189.=>. 

 Dear Sir:— The lOmbalmlng Process bought 

 of you gave perfect satisfaction in every case. 

 I much prefer it to the old method. 



Morris Rice. 

 Shreveport, La., April 24. 189.5. 

 Dear Sir: -I have had better success with 

 your Process than I ever dreamed of. I never 

 laid e.ves on a first class specimen before I ob- 

 tained your Method. Eugene Harding. 

 Thayer, Mo., April 2 J, 189.'). 

 Dear Sir:— I have tested your Process of Em- 

 balming as applied to the smaller birds, and 

 Hud it a d'Jcided improvement over the old 

 method of taxidermy. I have had no trouble 

 from shrinkage and find that I can get a more 

 life-like specimen with far less work than form- 

 erly. I shall recommend your process with 

 confidence and pleasure. Yours Very Truly. 



C. D. Field. 



Medina. O.. Aug. 7. 1887. 

 Dear Sir: -Your Process has proven a suc- 

 cess in every way. E. W. Martin. 



Private instruction in mounting costs from $10 to $50 and a first class work on Taxidermy costs 

 $5 to $10. 



You can learn a method which costs next tonothing; simple, durable and requires no tools 

 excepting a knife, file and wire, and does not oc-cupy one-fourth of the time used in the old 

 method. 



Send 75 cents for complete instructions and onepound of compound ready for use; enough for 30 



to 40 small birds.
