IT Vanity Fair, 



~ • Tf ia eVia-irof? frnm t.Vi<* < haa+. "Wntn 



It is shaved from the hest Natu- 

 ral Leaf, for Meerschaum and Cigarettes. Does not 

 make the tongue sore. Sample on receipt of 20 

 cents. Highest award, Vienna, 1873. Send for cir- 

 cular. WM. 8. KIMBALL «fc CO., 

 Peerless Tobacco Works, Rochester > IV. Y. 



From Seth Green, Supt. N. Y. State Fisheries. 



I find Vanity Fair to be the best article of tobacco 

 adapted to the wants of the sportsmun. Have used 

 your tobaccos for many yea.s, and know them all to 

 be first-class. 



HENRY W. BALDWIN, Supt 



For Sportsmen. 



A trusty friend, in weariness or trouble: a solid re- 

 source in Winter and rough weather, is a sweet pipe 

 with Vanity Frir. Best dealers have it. 



From A. B. Lamborton, Rochester. 



Having smoked your tobacco. Vanity Fair, by the 

 camp fire and by the hearth, I believe it in point of 

 fjagrance and taste superior to all brands known to 

 me. Being in search of a tobacco that would not fire 

 the tongue and mouth, I was made acquainted with 

 your Vanity Fair, and found it to be the ne plus ultra 

 of natural leaf. 



Does not make the tongue Sore. 



Smoke Vanity Fair.-- -It is a wonderful solace, 

 and the best proof that it works no injury is the re- 

 freshed feeling you awake with next morning, con- 

 scious that there is no reasonable task you could not 

 perform. 



For Meerschaums. 



It has a permanent existence; again and again does 

 it serve your turn, and still is ready for a fresh bout. 

 That pipe is always ready for its fill of Vanity Fair. 



For Cigarettes. 



A cigarette is an interlude to the serious habit? a 

 graceful make-believe for spare hours. For cigar- 

 ettes Vanity Fair has no equal. Best dealers have it. 



HURST'S 



Stereoscopic Studies 



_OF— - 



Natural History 



FOR OBJECT TEACHING IN SCHOOLS 



-AND 



PARLOR ENTERTAINMENT. 



We are prepared to furnish the first sixty numbers of 

 the first series of 



Animals and Birds of North America. 



To these will be added a second series of foreign 

 specimens, and various Animals and Birds in gro- 

 tesque attitudes, never, however, violating their natu- 

 ral instincts. 



We offer these views not as pictures only, but as 

 studies from nature. One of the great moving ele- 

 ments in our modern system of education is object 

 teaching. The unerring fidelity of the stereoscope 

 transfers the animals and birds from their natural 

 habitat to the rooms of the student and the fireside of 

 our homes, where they cannot fail to have a lasting 

 impression of the form, color, habits, and locality of 

 each specimen. 



An experience of more than twenty-five years as 

 Taxidermist of the New York Ftate Cabinet of Natu- 

 ral History, and in gathering his large collection of 

 native and. foreign specimens, enables Mr. Hurst to 

 combine in every -view the locality of the specimen, 

 with its appropriate rocks, woods or water, and color- 

 ing from the originals.
