Scientific T axid erm v. 
EVERY SCHOOL should have a collection of Natural 
History specimens. Why not 
START A COLLECTION 
of the Birds or Mammals of your county or state, or enrich a 
present collection by the addition of some well mounted specimens? 
Costs so much ? Perhaps 
SO, but WRITE TO ME FOR 
prices and you will be 
surprised how little such 
a collection will cost after 
all. Think of the interest 
that will be awakened in 
your school in the 
STUDY OF NATURE 
to reward you for trouble 
and outlay. 
I mount to order 
BIRDS, MAMMALS, 
FISH and REPTILES 
and solicit your patronage. If you are inter- 
ested, you should not lose an opportunity to 
examine the novel collection of Ohio birds, 
prepared by myself, in the museum of Zoology, 
Ohio State University. 
TAUGHT BY MAIL.— I give instruc- 
tions in the Art of Taxidermy, personally, or 
by mail. You can learn to collect and prepare 
your own birds, thus reducing the cost of a 
collection to a minimum.
