THE OOLOGIST 



(of Albion, N. Y.) 

 IS THE OLDEST PUBLICATION IN AMERIC, ] 



The OoLOGisT is the cheapest "Bird" publicatii 

 in the world (for only 50 cents you receive $1. 

 worth of premiums, your selection, 25c. worth 

 advertising and the Ooloqist for a whole year.) 



The Ooloqist, has a larger paid circulation tha 

 all other "Bird" publications in America combine 



The OoiiOGisT has long been recognized the b( 

 Advertising Medium in its Une in the world. T' 

 "Country OerUlemen" is the leading Agricultui 

 newspaper in America, and in soliciting advertisi 

 for its columns, it makes its strongest mt in the f 

 lowing statement: "As to quantity of circulation 

 publishes many more 'Want Ads' than all oti 

 papers combined. You doubtless know what 

 Want Ad' circulation must be and always isV 



From this same stand point The Oologist'b ra 

 among pubUcations devoted not only to Ornitholc 

 but Natural History as well, is identical to that 

 the Country Gbntlbmbn among agricultural puL 

 cations. 



The Oologist has very few half-tones and contai ' 

 only 16 pages each issue — one-half of which are ' 

 vertising. 



During the past fifteen years, (The Oologis 

 age) many superior "Bird" pubUcations and sco 

 of inferior ones have dropped by the way. T 

 Oologist, however, is still issued each month a 

 a sample copy of a recent issue can
