During the coming season my camera 

 will be with me as much as my guns; es- 

 pecially when I have my annual hunt, in the 

 Upper Peninsula, next November. 



If you care to have me may be able to 

 furnish you something of interest, with 

 photos, later. 



Roscoe, Grand Rapids, Mich. 



I should be glad to have the pictures; but 

 don't let your subjects look at t^e camera.
