THE OOIX)GIST. 



72a (113). 



Advertising In the Oolooist pays as I know by 

 experience. H. C, Tarboro, N. C. 



My exchange notice In the Oologist was satis- 

 factory. I received over 87 letters and have made 

 a good many exchanges. W. F. D., Minneapolis, 

 Minn. 



I can not praise the Oologist too highly. Ex- 

 chanee notices in Its columns have always re- 

 ceived replies far beyond my most anxious hopes. 

 Received over .'ioo letters In response to my ad. In 

 Oologist two years ago while publishing "The 

 Loon." T. Surber, White Sulphur Springs, W. 

 Va.

 Dictionary, Century or Leslie's Popular Month- 

 ly. Send lists. HOMER SQUYER, Mingus- 

 ville, Mont. 



Last August ('90) I had an exchange notice in 

 the Oologist and from it I received over 150 let- 

 ters and I exchanged about $125 worth of speci- 

 mens, and all it cost was 33c, 1 ran out of speci- 

 mens before I had answered one-half of the let- 

 ters. 1 also had a n»tlce put In a recent number. 

 The January number reached me the 9th and 

 now I have received 20 replies and sometimes I 

 get 8 letters in one mall. I am positive I will re 

 celve over 125 letters in reply to this last notice. 

 Of coui-se the last number nas not yet passed the 

 Rocky Mountains, 20 letters in four days lor a 

 beginning. Shortly shall expect to receive that 

 many in a single day. For a collector there is 

 not Ing better than to have an adv. or exchange 

 notice In the Oologist. It is a boon for collectors 

 and to say it pays big Is to say it but very mild- 

 ly. VV. E. Snyder, Beaver Dam. Wis-
