When answering advertisements always men- 

 tion the NATURAL SCIENCE NEWS. 



"Natural Science News is the best 

 Advertising Medium of its Kind 

 in America." 



During the year 1895 I s °ld nearly 809 pounds of Compound 

 and have filled over 400 orders. Have advertised in nine papers 

 during the year, one of which has a circulation of 18,000 and yet 

 from carefully recorded returns I can safely say that the NATURAL 

 SCIENCE NEWS is the best Advertising Medium of its kind in 

 America. From advertisements in its columns I have received 

 orders from every State and Territory in the Union, from all the 

 British Provinces in North America and from Mexico and Central 

 America. I can conscientiously recommend the columns of the 

 NATURAL SCIENCE NEWS above all other periodicals and 

 papers as a far reaching and reliable advertising medium.

Cash Must Accompany Order 



Unless you have a satisfactory rating with either Dun's or Bradstreet's Commercial 

 Agency, or can give me satisfactory Bank Reference, or have already had sufficient dealings 

 with me to satisfy me of your financial reliability, the cash must accompany your order. If, 

 however, you have either of the above three requirements and your order is for space 

 amounting to over $2.00 I will neither require nor ask for a single cent's pay until I prove to 

 you 



1st— By my printer's affidavit that I have issued 25,000 copies of t'.ie Easter edition of Nat- 

 ural Science News. 



2d— By my P. O. postage receipts that I have mailed at least 20,000 of the number. 



Rates to regular advertisers will not be advanced. I will not, however, allow them to 

 use more than the average number of lines which they agree to use in each issue for the entire 

 year at this heavy loss to myself. Should they wish to increase the size of their regular adver- 

 tisement, however, they can do so at the regular rate, for this issue, of lOcts per line. 



First and Last Pages 



Are always considered more desirable by many, although the Publisher knows that every 

 page in this issue will he "religiously'' read. However, if you consider the first or last page 

 preferable and are willing to back your preference with the "price," I will sell the space on 

 these pages as follows: 



On the first page: Small "Want, Exchange and For Sale'' advs. on First page will 

 cost $1.00 per notice of 35 words or under. Exceeding 35 words, 3 cts per each additional word. 



The Last Page will be sold to a single party or firm and will not be divided. My price 

 for the same will be $50 net. 



This Easter issue is sure to prove a ' howling success" and it is my desire to have you "in 

 t" and share in the fruits thereof. 



Expecting to hear from you at an early date, providing you wish to 

 share in the success of the issue, I remain, as ever 



Faithfully, 



FRANK H. LATTIN, Publisher, ALBION, N. Y.
