I make a specialty in collecting, pre- 

 paring and selling anything in the line

 Gulf Coast. I sell to the Collector as 

 well as to the Retail, Wholesale and 

 Jobbing trade.

 Marine Shells and Curios. 



I am now in a position to furnish in quantity 

 all of the best species collected on the Gulf Coast 

 and will be pleased to furnish prices on applica- 

 tion. Best of reference given and satisfaction 

 guaranteed. Collections sent on approval to par- 

 ties giving satisfactory reference. Any not ap-

Have you tried my 

 process of Rapid 

 Taxidermy? 



If not you will 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. ofBce 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. The cost is next to nothing, and 

 when several go in and work together, there is 

 no cost. You may make money in any town 

 or the country. 



On receipt of jiti.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 exahange. What have 

 you to offer? Address
