THE OOLOGIST.

Testimonials Wanted. 



We want you for an 1894 subscriber 

 to the Oologist. We also want you to 

 show this . month's Oologist to any 

 friend who is now a non-subscriber, 

 whom you think our little monthly 

 might interest. This issue is an unus- 

 ual one, from at least an advertising 

 standpoint— our regular monthly edi- 

 tions contain an equal amount of read- 

 ing matter but only from 8 to 16 pages 

 • of advertisments. The qualitj', tinish 

 and weight of paper used in our regular 

 edition is much better than that used in 

 the"Sample Copy"numbers this month. 



We know the Oologist is of value to 

 the class for whom it is intended, and 

 we also believe it to be of value to you. 



Many of the leading and all of the 

 coming ornithologists of America are 

 on our subscription books. 



Sincp Jan. 1st '94 we have paid over 

 $30 for back numbers of the Oologist 

 in order to supply the demand for the 

 same, and we still want more and are 

 making liberal offers for the same in 

 this Oologist. 



Testimonials are always appreciated 

 by a publisher and we have been pleas- 

 ed in'this manner thousands of times, 

 and could if space permitted fill every 

 page in this month's edition with gems 

 in this line of the first magnitude, but 

 we have been receiving a class of testi- 

 monials that both please the mind and 

 enlarge the pocket-book — testimonials 

 of this character are always sure to 

 touch the heart of the most hardened 

 publisher. 



Here are few samples, which we con- 

 sider models, that have materialized 

 during the short month of February, 

 The first three from Mr. Wm. Brewster 

 of Cambridge, Mass., who is recognized' 

 the world over as the leading authority 

 on North American Birds and whose 

 opinion today carries greater weight in 

 the making and unmaking of species 

 and varieties to the recognized Ameri- 

 can avian fauna than that of any other 

 living person: 



"I wish to obtain two sets of the Oologist 

 from the begining. If you can supply them 

 please name price. If you cannot supply them 

 do you think an advertisement in your columns 

 would meet with success? Dec. 4, 1893." 



"I shall be glad to take the two sets of Oolo- 

 gist @ $4.00 each, but they must be completed 

 before I shall be willing to pay for them. You 

 can take several months to hunt up the missing 

 numbers if necessary. Dec. 7, 1893." 



"I have just received from you the sets of 

 Oologist and enclose 18.00 by cheque in pay- 

 ment for the same. Feb. 11, 1894." 



The following is from Dr. L.B. Bishop 

 of New Haven, Conn., who is making a 

 special study of albinism and unusual 

 coloration in eggs: 



"Please send me No's 1 to 98 of the Young 

 Oologist and Oologist as advertised in the 

 February Oologist. I send with this money 

 order for $4.50 as payment." 



And the last which we have space to 

 give came just as we were going to 

 press as an accompaniment to a re- 

 newal of subscription and is from Mr. 

 M. M. Coon, the well known taxider- 

 mist of Jefferson, Ohio: 



"I would not attempt to do business without 

 the Oologist." 



READER. We want and expect a 

 testimonal from you — not necessarily 

 as weighty an one as from Mr. Brewster 

 or Dr. Bishop nor as flattering as from 

 Mr. Coon, but in the few and feeble 

 words of the writer of this page the fol- 

 lowing would be both pleasing and suffi- 

 cient: 



"Enclosed find so cts. for which please send 

 me the Oologist for 1894." 



To this attach your name and address 

 in full and enclose — with the necessary 

 50 cts. in stamps, postal note, express 

 or P. O. money order— in a strong en- 

 velope, seal well and address carelully 

 to the Publishers of the Oologist, Albi- 

 on, Orleans Co., N. Y. We remain, as 

 ever, most faithfully yours, 



F. H. Lattin & Co. 



The Victor Carpet Stretcher 



Advertised on another page, is a good 

 thing. We are using one. 



I have been acquainted with Mr. Mal- 

 lory the Inventor and Manufacturer for 

 a number years — he is reliable. 



I have an old schoolmate friend who 

 has sold thousands of these stretchers, 

 during the past few years and has made 

 big money thereby. 



Faithfully, FRANK H. LATTIN.

 List of NOVELTIES, which
