Tacoma, Wash., Aug-. 9, 1898.— Mr. F. L. Ackley : I received the box of Taxider some 

 time ago; it works fine. I have just finished mounting a beautiful swan. I have already 

 a nice collection of birds, and a class of seven boys. It is really wonderful how it works. 

 The very first bird I mounted was a success. Please find enclosed money order for one 

 dozen boxes. Please rush, as I am in quite a hurry. Thanking you for past favors, I re- 

 main truly yours. J. H. FLaNDERS, Tacoma, Wash. 



I have letters like this from hundreds of people and all are having success. Send for 

 a box to day. You can learn in one hour. Remember success is guaranteed from the 

 start. Liberal discounts to agents. Taxider is manufactured by
