GUIDE TO TAXIDERMY 



BY C. K. AND C. A. REED 



IS AN EXPERT, INTERESTING AND CONTINUAL 

 INSTRUCTOR 



ILLUSTRATED 



In this one book you get as much or more value than you can from $50.00 

 worth of personal instruction or correspondence. You get half a dozen dif- 

 ferent courses at a fraction of the cost of one, and can take up the work as 

 rapidly or as slowly as you like. Two weeks' practice during your spare time 

 should easily enable you to mount a bird excellently. 



Taxidermists charge from $1.25 to $15.00 for mounting a bird, and from 

 $2.50 to $100.00 for animals. You can do this work yourself at the cost of 

 but a few cents and a little of your spare time. Many professional taxider- 

 mists have but little idea of the appearance of a bird or animal and use crude 

 methods of mounting. You can mount your specimen as you saw it in life 

 and by the most approved method. 



In the course of the year, you can pick up a great many dollars by doing 

 work for your friends and sportsmen near you, or you can engage in taxi- 

 dermy as a business. If you master the contents of this book you will be 

 far better equipped for the business than are the majority of those now en- 

 gaged in it. 



Personal instruction, in only one branch of taxidermy, costs from $15.00 

 up, while the price of GUIDE TO TAXIDERMY, which includes half a 

 dozen full courses, is only $1.50 net; postpaid for $1.65. 300 pages, cloth 

 bound.
