MERELY A REMINDER 



THIS PAGE is occupied by us merely as a reminder that the 

 only concern in America which can supply you with 



SPECIMENS IN ALL DEPARTMENTS OF NATURAL HISTORY 



(Except Botany and Entomology) 

 IS 



Ward's Natural Science Establishment 



To our old friends, the leading museums, colleges, educators and 

 private collectors of the world, we are continually offering new things, 

 some of which will be announced at the bottom of this page, from time 

 to time. We endeavor to always remember you with our latest circulars ; 

 if you have failed to receive these recently, a line from you will bring 

 them by return mail. 



To those who have not formerly dealt with us— our establishment 

 was founded in 1862, and incorporated in 1890 as a stock company 

 with a paid-up capital of $125,000. We occupy a frontage of 250 feet 

 facing the University of Rochester, and are known from the Yukon 

 to the Ganges as the largest institution in the world dealing in Natural 

 History Specimens. For over forty years we have made it our sole 

 business to collect, prepare and sell these, individually or in collections. 

 Quality rather than extreme cheapness is our aim, and we have spared 

 no expense to maintain a high standard and a standing in scientific 

 circles. We pay no commissions, but deal direct with our customers, 

 and sell at list prices only. We offer school collections as low as $5 

 and have made one cabinet costing over $100,000 (Field Columbian 

 Museum, Chicago), and seventeen others ranging from $10,000 to $70,000. 

 In numerous instances we have built a large public museum complete 

 at one stroke. Our catalogues, over twenty in number, are not mere 

 price-lists, but are valuable as reference works, and have even been used 

 as text-books in academies and colleges. A small charge is made for 

 these, except to our regular customers or teachers intending to purchase ; 

 a list will be sent upon request. We also issue free circulars in all 

 departments, and shall be glad to place your address on our mailing list.
