GIBBS'S CELEBRATED PROCESS OF RAPID TAXIDERMY 



In Practical Use for Over Twenty=five Years. 



Used Everywhere in America. Hundreds of Testimonials. Try, and be Convinced. 

 Start a Class. Money in It. Be Your Own Taxidermist. 



Naturalists, Collectors, Gunners, Anglers, Outers, Boys, Girls, and all others interested in nature 

 and anxious to preserve the specimens taken in wood and field, have all felt the need of a simple method 

 of preservation, which is free from intricacies and inexpensive. 



There is a method of rapid taxidermy now in extensive use, which meets the requirements of all 

 amateurs who wish a practical and inexpensive method of preserving the trophies of the outing and col- 

 lecting trip. This is not the old system of so-called stuffing, so expensive, laborious and disappoint- 

 ing, but is a rapid system, which anyone can learn at once and which is guaranteed to give satisfaction. 



By this process you may preserve the beautiful plumage of the grouse and woodcock, or the pike's 

 or buck's head, or the showy feathers of the tanager. Boys, girls and all others can do good work and 

 may make money, as mounted heads and birds find a ready sale, and besides you may teach your friends 

 and decorate the school room, office and dining room with native birds and other attractions. If you 

 are in doubt, then get your friends to go in with you and start a class, for when several work together 

 there is an advantage, and the expense is next to nothing. 



On the receipt of $i .00, cash or stamps, I will send full printed instructions for mounting birds, 

 heads, mammals, etc., and all materials for mounting and preserving specimens — including prepared 

 compound, together with full directions for dressing skins with the hair on for rugs and robes, so that 

 you will not be to the expense of one cent. 



Remember I Guarantee Satisfaction or Money Refunded.
