GIBB'S CELEBRATED PROCESS OF RAPID TAXIDERMY. 



In Practical Use for Over Twenty-five years. 



Used Everywhere in America. Hundreds of Testimonals. 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 ."ppciniens taken in wood and field, have all felt the need of a 

 simple method of preservation, which is free fi'om intricacies and inexpensive. 



There is a methrd of rapid taxidermy now in extensive use, which meets the requirements of 

 all amateurs who wish a practical and inexpensive n?ethod of preserving the trophies of the out- 

 ing and collecting trip. This is not the old system of so-called stuflfing, so expensive, laborious 

 an^d disappointing, but is a rapid system, which anyone can learn at once and which is guaran- 

 teed to give satisfaction. 



By this process you may preserve the beautiful plumage of the grouse and woodcock, or the 

 pike's or bucic's head, or ibe 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 iViends and decorate the school-room, 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 the receipt of $1.00, ca.sh or stamps, I will send full printed instructions for mounting 

 birds, heads, mammals, etc.. and all materials for mounting and preserving specimens— includ- 

 ing 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 I guarantee saHsf action or money reftinded.
