ATTENTION 



Collectors & Taxidermists! 



Are you interested in Birds? 



Do you want to keep abreast of the 

 times? 



Do you want to learn to mount birds in 

 a life-like manner, in one-third of the time 

 and with one-third of the trouble result- 

 ing from the old style of skinning? 



Do you want to learn of a method that 

 requires absolutely no tools excepting a 

 file, knife and wire, and no additional ex- 

 penses, trying to the new beginners of 

 small means? 



If so, then send 75 cents for complete 

 instructions, and one pound of Embalm- 

 ing Compound, enough for preparing 30 

 to 40 small birds. 



Or send stamp for further information.
