Taxidermy is without doubt one of the fine arts. To successfully 

 mount birds and animals to counterfeit nature calls for as much artistic 

 skill as to model statues or paint pictures. That we possess this skill, we 

 offer as a proof the fact that we receive annually for mounting double the 

 number of big game heads that are received by any taxidermists in the 

 United States. 



Testimonials and References by Permission. 



My deer head duly received. I am delighted with it. It makes the one I had 

 mounted in Boston last season look very badly by comparison. 



Walter F. Whitney, Leominster, Mass. 



Words cannot express my admiration for your work on my buck's head. It is the 

 finest piece of artistic work I have ever seen in that line, and is so considered by all of 

 my friends who have had heads mounted by various other taxidermists. 



Sincerely yours, Elliott D. Robbins, M. D., Charlestown, Mass. 



The moose and caribou heads we purchased of you are fit to hang in a palace. 

 Thev are admired by thousands of people.

Mr. Crosby's masterpieces are his deer, caribou and moose heads, and his fish. As 

 a taxidermist he ranks second to none. A. C. Gould, Editor Shooting and Fishing. 



Dear Mr. Crosby : — Your work on my moose head is perfect, being correct in anat- 

 omy and faultless in expression. Very truly yours,

Dear Sir : — Enclosed find check in payment of bill. The work is superb. I 

 have had from thirty to forty heads of elk, deer and antelope, and several bear skins 

 mounted by different parties, and I consider this work of yours the most satisfactory of 

 any I have ever had done. Yours truly,

Brother Sportsmen : — Whether you hunt in Maine, Canada, Newfoundland, 

 The Rockies or Alaska, send your trophies to us. All work from the West should be 

 shipped by the C. P. R. R. as freight. You cannot use too much care in skinning, dry- 

 ing and salting vour heads and skins. Never use alum or saltpeter on a skin.
