We have received a letter from A. H. E. W. Winans, taxidermists and eollectors in the varous branches of natural history, Warsaw, 111., which states that they keep a constant supply of beautiful mounted and stuffed specimens of the birds, mamrhels, and reptiles of North America, and will furnish orders for public or private collections. They will undertake to fill orders for any or all of the birds ot the Upper Mississippi, and do so as fast as they obtain the specimens. We direct at. tention to the profession of Messrs. Winans, because we think there are many of our readers who have a taste for objects ot natural history, and who would be glad to get some, but know not where to obtain them. We see it stated, in an exchange, that the laborers in England are worse paid and sub-sisted than they were two centuries ago. This is not true; they are better paid and have more comforts now than they ever had.
It’s Time to Stand Up for Science
If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.
I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.
If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.
In return, you get essential news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can't-miss newsletters, must-watch videos, challenging games, and the science world's best writing and reporting. You can even gift someone a subscription.
There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.
