THE VALLEY 
NATURALISTS' 
AGENCY. 
Address : Room 38, 
N. W. Cor, THIRD & PINE STS., 
Saint Louis, Mo. 
We have established this Agency for the convenience of our Western Naturalists, who 
have, no doubt, all been disgusted by the length of time it took for books, reports, etc. — 
ordered from some of the eastern agencies — to reach their destination. Hence the object of 
establishing an Agency at St. Louis, which is centrally located and should receive a goodly 
share of their patronage. 
Postage and Expressage 
On Books ordered from the following list, send 2 cents additional for postage on every 25 
cents, or fraction thereof, in sum total of order made up from books costing not over $3.00 
each. These rates are taken from an average on all the books in the list, but as they vary in 
individual cases, we remit any over-postage received, and if not enough is forwarded we 
send notice of the amount required in addition. 
When the Price is over $3.00 for any one Work, 
Unless specially directed, it will be sent by express, except in instances where it will be 
cheaper to the purchaser to have it sent by mail, in which case the work will be so forwarded 
with a bill for postage charged.
