THE LITTLE advertising we have placed 

 with you during the past few years has afford- 

 ed us most pleasing results. We have succeed- 

 ed in placing some of our specimens with par- 

 ties in almost every state in Union and Dom- 

 inion of Canada, as well, which speaks well of 

 the OOLOGIST as an advertising medium. W.
