Florida Coast Shells 



at less than cost! 



Near the coast of Florida the mosqui- 

 tos and sand-flies are such a pest and an- 

 noyance to the ColIector,during the sum- 

 mer mouths, that we have concluded to 

 employ the most of our time, from now 

 until the first of October in the cleauing 

 and packing of Sea Shells. 



We therefore make you the following 

 offer: From now until October first we 

 will lill all small orders for Sea Shells at 

 very little more than the actual cost of 

 packing and postage. 



We will till any order from ten cents 

 to $2. and give you a finer and larger 

 collection for the money than you ever 

 had before. 



We have large quantities of Florida 

 coast and river shells, and we take this 

 method of reducing our stock before th j 

 autumn collecting begins. 



Unless otherwise ordered we will 

 send a general assortment, and each 

 purchaser, whether large or small, will 

 receive some line anil rare shells. 



Send registered letter, currency or 

 stamps.
