THE OOLOGIST. 



72a (113) 



Advertising In the Oologist 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 tbe Oologist too highly. Ex- 

 change notices in Its columns have always re- 

 ceived replies far beyond my most anxious hopes. 

 Received over 500 letters In response to my ad. in 

 Oologist two years ago while publishing '-The 

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

 Va. 



125 SPECIES Marine shells, 75 species Cre- 

 taceous fossil shells, minerals, polished agates, 

 corals, antelope horns, for marine shells, publi- 

 cations on Conchology, Webster's Unabridged 

 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. I 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 mail. I am positive I will re 

 celve over 125 letters In reply to this last notice. 

 Of course the last number nas not yet passed the 

 Rocky Mountains, 20 letters In four days for a 

 beginning. Shortly shall expect to receive that 

 many in a single day. For a collector there is 

 not lng be tter 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. W. E. Snyder, Beaver Dam, Wis.
