 your hunting trip this fall, where will you 

 have it mounted? Why not mount it your- 

 self? The Northwestern School of Taxid-

 school gives complete instructions that will 

 enable you to mount your fish, game and 

 bird trophies in natural, artistic style, thus 

 adding tenfold to your pride, interest and 

 pleasure in the possession of the prize.

The Bradley shot gun sight is a new in- 

 vention so simple and effective that it 

 makes wing shooting easy and certain. It 

 is invaluable for beginners, and even ex- 

 pert wing shots will be surprised at its ef- 

 fectiveness. The sight is instantly attach- 

 able and detachable to any gun and does 

 not mar the barrel.

 hear highly commended.
