Do You Want to Make Money?

If so, learn to mount Birds, and then form classes anil give instructions. 

 Any boy or girl of twelve or more years of age can learn to preserve and mount 

 Birds and Mammals inside of two days of practice, by the aid of my printed In- 

 structions, aud can then give practical demonstrations and work before a class 

 of pupils. 



The pupils may be charged from Fifty Cents to several dollars each accord- 

 ing to the number of lessons required. It is better to give at least three lessons 

 or sittings, where the pupils can put up a bird each under the eye of the teacher, 

 but a single lesson is often highly satisfactory, for auv man or boy can readily 

 comprehend the principles at once. 



There is a rare chance for energetic young and old people to learn a super- 

 ior yet simple process of mounting, and to take in some money by imparting 

 their knowledge to their acquaintances. Scores of boys and girls are now giving 

 instruction by my process, and making money as well as improving themselves 

 as Superior Taxidermists One boy has taught sixteen scholars. 



The prices are 75 cents for my complete Intsructions for mounting birds 

 mammals, fishes, game heads and game pieces for the wads, and one pound of 

 Compound-. But by purchasing rive to twenty pounds at greatly reduced rates, 

 the Process is secured at a low price. There should be one instructor in every 

 town.

The Best Thing Out. 



Our "Leader" shell collection. The most shells for the money ever offered. 

 All selected specimens of desirable species. 61 species, representing 40 families 

 of marine, land and fresh water shells, every one correctly labelled 

 with scientific name and locality. Only six of these were included in the 

 Chautauqua Shell Collection; and I will replace them by different species from 

 the same families, if you will mention it in your order. A great bargain. All 

 would cost you at regular prices $8.65, but I will send them prepaid for only 

 $2.35. With every one sold during August I will also send one line Unio lulcolus.
