Steel 

 Boats 



Live Long 



Never Leak. 

 Never Rust. 



Never Sink. 

 Cost Less. 



Steel has revolutionized the building of warships 

 and ocean greyhounds. It proves equally superior 

 in small boats. The cost of Steel Boats is less than 

 that of wood boats and they last forever. 



The Michigan Steel Boat Co., 1253 Jefferson Ave., 

 Detroit, Mich., is sending out free a handsome illus- 

 trated catalogue of steel boats designed in many 

 graceful models for livery, pleasure, hunting or 

 fishing. They are light, easy to handle and will not 

 sink if filled with water. 



Our Steel Launches 



equipped with our J^to60 horse-power gasoline motors, 

 are as far in advance of others as our steel row boats. 



Speedy, Staunch and Graceful. 



For those who want the best 



Experience and critical discernment add emphasis to 

 our claims for the " RECREATION LAUNCH." 



In grace and beauty of design, in thoroughness of con- 

 struction and finish, in first cost and future maintenance, 

 it excels all others. 



Simplicity of Operation 



is another feature that will appeal to those who buy for 

 Family use. There is that Safety, Certainty and Security 

 so essential in a pleasure craft. Speed, too, if you want it.
