We would advise every reader of the Oologist to avail themselves of the truly 

 great offer made ou the last page of this months Oologist. 



The writer spent a portion, of nearly every day, from June 1st until the close of 

 the Fair on the grounds, and can truthfully say that these photographic represen- 

 tations, which we have been so fortunate as to obtain for our subscribers, are by 

 far the best views of the great White City we have seen. 



During the Fair sixteen views equal to the ones in Portifolio No. 1 could not 

 have been purchased for less than 50 cents each and possibly not for double that 

 amount, while every reader of the Oologist can with coupon secure the entire 16 

 for only 10 cents. 



The 16 Photographic views in Portfolio No. 1 are as follows: 



Administration Building, Lapland Village, Chicago Day, East View from Mac- 

 monnie's, Manufactures and Fisheries Buildings, Woman's Building, Art Palace, 

 Dahomey Cannibals, Government Building, Golden Portal of Transportation 

 Building, The Peristyle and Statue of the Republic, Manufactures Building from 

 Court of Honor, Bird's-eye View of the Fair, Peristyle (Detail view), Columbian 

 Fountain, and Samoan Girls. 



In the last mentioned view our readers will note the heavy necklace about the 

 necks of the representative belles of Samoa, these were made of bright red cassia 

 beans which we are highly suspicious came from our store. In this same village 

 was shown a Samoan's boat trimmed or decorated with Tiger Cowries (Cyprcea 

 tigris) shells, which by the way were also furnished from the stock of F. fr.L.&Co. 



We want every reader of the Oologist to see Portfolio No. 1, whether they con- 

 clude to take the following parts as issued or not and in order to place No. 1 in 

 their hands we make the following propositions: 



1st. Send us by an early mail 10c. and coupon for Portfolio No. 1. 



2d. If, upon examination you are not more than pleased with it and do not con- 

 sider it fully all we claim for it and in fact worth many times its cost you can 



3d Wrap it up and remail to us and we will not oniy refund your 10 cents, but 

 will also enclose an additional dime for your trouble. 



Faithfully, F. H. LATTIN & CO.
