THE GAME BREEDER

Editor Game Breeder : 



I will be very much obliged if you can 

 let me know where I should be able* to 

 get a few couple of Wild English Raib- 

 bits. I do not require Belgian hares, 

 cotton tails or jack rabbits. 

 Yours truly, 



George Milward.

The Game Breeder. 



David T. Abercrombie, naturalist, angler, 

 hunter and all-around sportsman, has joined 

 the sporting goods house of Baker, Murray & 

 Imbrie, Inc., at 10-15-17 Warren Street, New 

 York, with the official title of vice-president. 



David Abercrombie's name is known wher- 

 ever two sportsmen gather. His years of ex- 

 perience in the woods of this country, in the 

 lonely places of Newfoundland and Labrador, 

 in the steaming South American tropics, have 

 given him a wealth of woodcraft that makes 

 him an unquestioned authority on all outdoor 

 affairs. 



Mr. Abercrombie will have charge of all 

 the camp goods, clothing, tents and fishing 

 tackle department of Baker, Murray & Im- 

 brie, Inc. 



Patrons of the store may receive advice 

 from him on all those perplexing questions of 

 proper outfitting that beset every expedition, 

 large or small. 



When Theodore Roosevelt was planning his 

 South American expedition, which was noted 

 for the thoroughness with which it was 

 equipped, he called David Abercrombie in to 

 give him the benefit of his years of experience. 



The Ziegler Polar and Relief Expeditions 

 were both equipped by Mr. Abercrombie, and 

 he was outfitter for the United States Depart- 

 ment of State for many years, and has served 

 the Canadian Government in the same ca- 

 pacity. 



In an official statement issued by Baker, 

 Murray & Imbrie, Inc., announcing the ap- 

 pointment of David Abercrombie, the follow- 

 ing appears : 



"It is a privilege for us to have a David 

 Abercrombie as a working companion, with 

 his ripened experience and knowledge, with his 

 rare temperament and enthusiasm, with his 

 mature devotion to big things. It is splendid 

 for us to be able to say: 'Sportsmen — our Mr. 

 Abercrombie !' " 



Yours faithfully, 

 Baker, Murray & Imbrie, Inc.

Happy Childhood. 



A small boy seated on the curb by a 

 telephone pole, with a tin can by his 

 side, attracted the attention of an old 

 gentleman who happened to be passing. 



"Going fishing?" he inquired, good- 

 naturedly. 



"Nope," the youngster replied. "Take 

 a peek in there." 



An investigation showed the can to be 

 partly filled with caterpillars of the tus- 

 sock moth. 



"What in the world are you doing with 

 them?" ■ 



"They crawl up trees and eat off the 

 leaves." • 



"So I understand." 



"Well, I'm fooling a few of them." 



"How?' 



"Sending 'em up this telephone pole."

"Have you a dog?" asked a special

"No, sir," was the woman's answer.

 wow, gruff-grufif." 



"Then that is your kitten?" asked the 

 assessor. — Indianapolis News.
