Oar 11-Foot Boat. 



We make several sizes, very stiff to stand and shoot or cast from. For 

 family use also. They stand more jamming than a wooden boat. 

 Why not have a boat you can take anywhere, when it's equal to any 

 other? Carry in a buggy. Noboathouse. Check as baggage. Always 

 ready. Changeable beam. Same boat for canoe or rowboat, by 

 removing the spreading-oar-bed device. There is no other for the 

 critical sportsman.

AN AUTUMN WAIL. 

 The season colder grows apace, 



The winds begin to roar ; 

 So, when you come into this place. 



Please, Mister, shut the door. 



It's not too warm for fleas as yet, 



They'd open every pore ; 

 But frost has come mankind to fret, 



So, Mister, shut the door. 



Don't leave it swinging while we sneeze, 



And christen you a bore ; 

 Unless you want to see us freeze, 



Why, hang it, shut the door. 



Don't make us shiver till we're blue, 

 And hanker for your gore ; 

 Look here, we've said all we're going to 

 on this subject and the next thing you 

 know we'll be over there wiping the floor 

 with you 



Unless you shut the door.

Quality and Safety 



REGARDLESS OF COST. 



To the ever increasing number of those 

 who seek pleasure afloat, the 

 two most important essentials 

 are simplicity and safety and 

 no true economy exists where 

 one or the other are sacrificed. 



The Rochester Gas Engine 



represents the highest possible type of marine engine for large or 

 small pleasure boats. It contains many absolutely distinctive features 

 embodied in no other Marine Motor. Among them is our patented 

 Speed Lever which at all times controls the speed of the boat and 

 allows it to be SLOWED DOWN to any degree of speed. Also our 

 Special Reversing Gear which instantly reverses the engine with- 

 out shock, vibration or strain, and permits screw to revolve indeper... 

 dently on an auxiliary sail boat with the least possible resistance. 

 Before purchasing, write for our handsome illustrated catalogue. 

 Investigate and compare.
