I offer a few wholesale bargains this month that cannot fail to interest any live collector who 

 has an opportunity to sell to other collectors or friends.

 Purple Sea Ferns always attract attention in a 

 dealers stock. We have a fine lot on hand, 

 which we offer at one tenth regular value.

 loot specimens at $1.80 per dozen.

 fornia, are big value at my price. When 

 polished they bring from $1.50 to $3 00 each. I

 manufactured into jewelry. The Money is 

 still used in barter with many African tribes.
