Florida Coast Shells 



at less than cost! 



Near the coast of Florida the mosqui- 

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

 noyance to the Collector,during the sum- 

 mer months, that we have concluded to 

 employ the most of our time, from now 

 until the first of October in the cleaning 

 and packing of Sea Shells. 



We therefore make you the following 

 offer: From now until October first we 

 will fill all small orders for Sea Shells at 

 very little more than the actual cost of 

 packing and postage. 



We will fill any order from ten cents 

 to $2, and give you a fiuer 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 the 

 autumn collecting begins. 



Unless otherwise ordered we will 

 send a general assortment, and each 

 purchaser, whether large or small, will 

 receive some line and rare shells. 



Send registered letter, currency or 

 stamps.

I have recently found some white 

 Chalcedony Geodes in the Bad 

 Lands, South Dakota that are different 

 and more elegant than any 1 ever saw 

 from any part of the world. They are 

 rarities, in size from a hen's egg to a 

 goose eggaud lined with brilliant spark- 

 ling, frost-like white crystals; a few 

 amethystine tinted and a few with tran- 

 sparent selenite, and others like suow. 

 I will send them postpaid for 25, 35 and 

 50 cents. Small ones unopened 10 and 

 15 cents.
