PARKER BROS., Meriden, Gonn. 



Valley Home is a beautiful Summer re- 

 sort for sportsmen. Is m the heart of a rich 

 hunting country — rich in all that delights 

 the heart of the sportsman. Elk, Deer, 

 Mountain Sheep, Bear and a great number 

 of fur bearing animals. No finer trout 

 stream exists than the far-famed Shoshone 

 river, on whose picturesque banks this El- 

 dorado for hunters is located. Valley Home 

 is* nestled among the snow-capped Rockies, 

 and no grander scenery can be found in 

 Switzerland. The canyons and waterfalls 

 are such that no pen can describe them. 

 Ranch is 20 miles from Ishawood, Big 

 Horn County, Wyoming.

C. D. Perkins, D.D.S., Augusta, Ga. 



There was a trout in our brook 



And he was wondrous wise, 

 He never touched a baited hook 



Or artificial flies; 

 But, when he saw a real live bug 



Come floating through the pool, 

 He rose and gorged it with a shrug; 



He was no angler's fool.
