Messrs. Boucard, Pottier & Co. beg to advise Directors of Museums and private Amateurs that they 

 undertake to stuff from a Humming Bird to a Whale at very reasonable prices. Only experienced and 

 scientific Taxidermists are employed by the hour for that work, which will always be of the best class.
