An Easter 'Snap' 



This "Snap" will hold good until May 15th and will never be repeated. 



If you will send me an order for Instruments, Supplies, Publications or any- 

 thing I may have in stock, in the Specimen or Curio line, to the amount of $10.00 

 or over, between now and May 15th, and add $2.34 to your order, I will send you 

 prepaid, a copy of 



Davie's "Methods in the Art of Taxidermy." 



This is that new and magnificent work on Taxidermy, published at $10.00 and 

 Jf "Lattin" sells at $7.50. It's the book which many de alers advertise and say 

 "Write for price," or "Price on application" — you see they have a lot of them on 

 hand and wanted to get out from under before "Lattin" made this offer. (?) 



If you tried any of these "write for price" dealers and offered them anything 

 over 5.00, you doubtless got your book. Hundreds of copies have been sold for 

 $5.00 and upwar 's, but I never heard of a new copy being sold for less than that 

 amount. Hence if you accept my offer and desire a copy you will be securing 

 one for 



ONLY $2.34 PREPAID. 



Truly an "unheard of price."

Faithfully, 



FRANK H. LATTIN.
