A rather unusual version of the "salesman's sample album," here presenting examples of stuffed and mounted fauna, available from the creator of the album at the (reasonable) prices stated.
Costs vary, ranging from just $1.00 for a Deerfoot Thermometer, up to $40.00 which would buy a fully mounted black bear! A variety of other mounting services are on offer, for specimens such as snakes ($1.00 per foot), Foxes ($10.00, $3.00 more for an open mouth), Weasels ($3.00), and so on. Most jarring is the final display in the album; three stuffed dogs (!), perhaps a more common way of commemorating your household pet at the time of this album's genesis.
The last page presents the Taxidermist's terms and conditions, most prominently stating "PRICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE," and "Birds protected by Law will not be mounted without permit."
