Babbitt's Glove Kid Tan 



Is used by over two-thirds of the taxidermists 

 of the U. S"., which PROVES it to be a superior- 

 article. Tbe past few years I have advertised 

 this tan in many papers in the U. S., but there 

 is without doubt many who do not know the 

 merits of BABBITT'S GLOVE KID TAN. 



It will tan furs clear through and leave them 

 as soft as GLOVE KID. 



I c is always ready for use and always gives 

 the same results. 



It costs $1 per bottle (which is the regular 

 price) to tan ONE DOZEN fox skins, making 

 it the cheanest tan on the market. 



It will do the work in one-half the time re- 

 quired by the old method, etc. 



The object of this advertisement is to intro- 

 duce it, so for thirty days from the date of is- 

 suing this paper I will send a bottle postpaid 

 for ..50. After that date the price will be ad- 

 vanced to !?!, I have a circular giving testi- 

 monals from those who have used it the past 

 few years. It will be mailed you free. No live 

 workman will tan furs by the old method after 

 reading the wonderful results to be obtained b »- 

 using BARBITT'S GLOVE KID TAN. 



Babbitt's Auxiliary Barrel's 

 or **Tubes" 



Is an invention which allows you to use a 32 

 or 38 cal. shell in yovir 12 or 16 bore gun. They 

 are as ensily removed as a shell and will not 

 interfere with shooting large game. 



DON'T try to collect small birds with your 12 

 or 16 bore shot gun. It will ruin your birds 

 about every time. It will cost but 9\ .50 for an 

 auxiliary barrel, either a 32 or 38 cal. and you 

 will save its cost in powder and shot inside of 

 three months. A full assortment of above are, 

 always kept in stcck to FIT ANY MAKE OF 

 GU^f. 



It is surely something which every collector 

 should have". A price list giving testimonals 

 from the leading collectors who have used 

 them, in fact everything you wish to know 

 about them, will be mailed yon upon request.
