Going Camping 



When is your vacation? How will you spend it? 

 Do you ever stop to think what a real vacation is? 

 The short space of time you have eagerly looked 

 forward to is here, or nearly so how will you 

 spend it? Are your plans laid for a real enjoyable, 

 health-giving trip somewhere? You have been 

 chained down to business, the hum drum life of a 

 restless city, and ceaseless pursuit of the almighty 

 dollar has made your nerves unstrung; you are at 

 times fretful and cross, and despite your business 

 success you feel tired in mind and body; Nature 

 itself seems to tell you to go off and rest somewhere. 



Wake up man, go to the woods and forest as did 

 your forefathers before ye, where the pure air lad- 

 en with the health-giving properties of the woods 

 can brace you, where the air and water is pure, 

 where the sweet grass and wild flowers or leaves 

 fill the very atmosphere with that which your sys- 

 tem and sight most craves a positive and natur- 

 al change. There where apart from a city's 

 ceaseless din and clatter, restful quiet awaits you, 

 there the pure spring water ripples and flows un- 

 polluted by your cities tainted atmosphere and 

 man. Less than fifty miles perhaps from your 

 very desk or bench are the woods and fields, with 

 its cooling shade and waters, green carpeted hills 

 or valleys, and a clear blue sky. 



No costly preparation is necessary, the simple 

 outfit made plain by these pages, you already have, 

 or can secure; things that would not do for your 

 vacation at home, suffice your every want here. 

 Gladly too, will your chums accompany you. No 

 elaborate outfit is required, a few hours or days 

 simple selection, preparation, this Manual, and 

 you are ready off on a trip such as you never took 

 before perhaps. A few hours pleasant ride trans- 

 ports you and your outfit, there you are woods, 

 waters, trees, privacy are there, and all you ask. 

 Here truly can you begin and breathe life anew. 

 And lo, what a change, and yet the cities distance 

 away can be measured by that smoky sky in the 

 distance. Here a cloudless and almost blue sky, 

 green carpeted hills and fields lie before you,
