Territory for sale 

 by States, or the 

 entire U.S., with 

 the exception of 

 New Jersey, which 

 has already been 

 sold. 



Here is a Hitching Post which you can place at your gate, 

 your front door step, your side dcor, your back door, or any- 

 where else, and which is invisible when nc '■ in use. You 

 instruct yor*" friends how to release it, and let c ther people go 

 to the woods to tie up. It heads off strangers who would use 

 your hitching post while calling on your neighbors, or while 

 doing their shopping. 



SURE TO PROVE POPULAR 



A fortune in sight for any man who will put this on the 

 market and push it. For particulars address £# J SELLERS, KUtZtOWll, Pa. 



A CAMP OUTFIT. 



Here is a list which I prepared some 

 years ago, and which will bear careful 

 study. I have printed it several times, but 

 people keep on calling for copies of it, so 

 I print it again. 



SUPPLIES FOR 2 MEN FOR A io-DAYS' 

 TRIP ON FOOT. 



10 pounds hard bread. 



14 pounds bacon. 



3 pounds dried apples or peaches. 



2 pounds salt. 



3 pounds sugar. 



2 pounds coffee, roasted and ground, or 

 Yz pound tea. 



1 sleeping bag, or blankets. 



2 rifles or guns. 

 100 cartridges. 



2 fishing rods. 



2 reels. 



Hooks, lines, flies, reels, etc. 



2 belts and hunting knives. 



2 pocket knives. 



1 tent. 



2 pack straps. 



1 ax. 



2 suits extra underwear, in bags. 



4 pairs socks. 



2 rubber coats. 



2 compasses. 



2 watches. 



1 camp kettle. 



1 frying pan. 



1 wire broiler. 



1 stewpan. 



1 coffee pot. 



2 tin plates. 

 2 spoons. 



Z tin cups. 



1 dish cloth. • 



2 pounds tobacco. 

 2 pipes. 



1 map. 



300 matches. 



2 water -proof match boxes. 

 2 ounces insect lotion. 



2 cakes soap. 

 2 towels. 

 2 tooth brushes. 

 Supply of small change. 

 Total weight about 90 pounds. 



It is possible to curtail this list slightly, 

 but not without some sacrifice of comfort. 



I have also published 2 other lists, in- 

 tended for larger parties and for longer 

 trips, where transportation is easy. 



I should be glad to have brief articles 

 on this subject, from practical campers of 

 long experience, and especially a series of 

 recipes for cooking plain, simple meals in 

 camp, as well as for the preparation of 

 more liberal bills of fare where conditions 

 permit. 



Many parties of 5 or 10 people who go 

 into the woods or the mountains do not 

 take a cook. In such cases the members 

 of the party usually take turns at the fry- 

 ing pan and the coffee pot. A dozen or 20 

 formulas for cooking plain, everyday food, 

 and a few for the preparation of knick- 

 knacks would be useful to such campers. 

 Who will furnish a series of these articles 

 for Recreation?
