The Stamps of Canada

We have put this Album up in five sections so a collector is able to purchase such branches as he desires at a comparatively low cost. It is 9 inches long and 7-1/2 inches wide, very handy; there is but one set of stamps to a page artistically laid out. Spaces have been provided for imperforate and part perforate pairs and the beauty of all; it is right up to the minute. What is more we will add new leaves each year with spaces for the latest stamps and if you are an owner of one of our Albums, latest sheets will be promptly sent you when issued.

After you have transferred your stamps into this Album you cannot help realizing the great advantage in a practical up-to-date Album.

Specimen pages and complete Prospectus cheerfully mailed on request. Postfree
