supply you with an outfit of other essentials that 

 would serve its purpose for many a healthy, enjoy- 

 able trip camping in the time to come. 



As to the old excuse, married, family, etc. its a 

 poor one. No wife could object did she but know 

 or realize the abstemious effects and resultant 

 benefits that accrue from such an outing, beans to 

 bacon she would want to join you next time. Take 

 your friends along, club together, even the chil- 

 dren or the girls. Did you ever see a city bred 

 child or wife that didn't revel and enjoy that day 

 spent in the country fields or even a city park; the 

 echo of the laugh, the romp and the pleasures of 

 that simple bunch of wild flowers plucked by them 

 was equalled by no bouquet your money ever pur- 

 chased. The butterfly caught, or the fish revived 

 in a camp bucket, will interest that child as no me- 

 chanical toy ever did; and the dainty dishes pre- 

 pared by yourself and the girls, over the simple 

 camp fire, will be relished by an appetite that 

 money or drugs can't buy, 



Eat, run, jump, yell, swim, hunt, fish if you will, 

 or paddle those shoe- pinched feet in the sad- 

 dy creek, and the rest and benefit you obtain 

 will make you feel like a boy again, lasting long 

 in your memory and life. 



As to experience a day or two, and you feel like 

 a veteran. The Manual tells you everything, and 

 should perchance you err, there is even pleasure in 

 it, and no one but your own to criticize or condemn. 



Thousands go every year, even children with 

 parties. Once a camper out, always one, shows 

 proof of the resulting benefits received therefrom. 



Look at the camp cranks that number your ac- 

 quaintances, or the thousands of volumes written 

 on it and mark my words, there is reason for it all. 

 That luxurious, costly trip to the seashore does not 

 exceed the benefit of that same period spent in 

 camping out. It matters little where you go, your 

 wants are simple and inexpensive ones; old clothes 

 suffice, your plate, your cup serves you the same, 

 and should you desire other things, the cost is with- 

 in your reach, be you rich or poor. Can't do it 

 MOU say^then do the next best thing "Read the 

 Camper's Manual," arid our other books. Send 

 for them now.
