"PADDLE YOUR OWN CANOE" 



You will never know the real pleasure and benefit 

 of canoeing until you own a Rushton canoe. The finest 

 workmansuip and 28 years expert experience goes into 

 every one ot them . My boats are not made for show mere- 

 ly, though quite as much attention is given the model as 

 the material. «The finest air-seasoned Michigan White 

 Cedar is employed in the making of every "Rushton shell, 

 because it is so far superior to any other wood as to dis- 

 courage comparison. I also make a specialty of Canvas 

 Covered Cedar Canoes. 



"Light as a feather, strong as steel, 

 Sound and fine from rail to keel." 



Don't /"lake up Your nind to buy a canoe until you 

 have seen a Rushton. You can get a good idea of the ex- 

 cellence of my canoes and boats by sending for my illus- 

 trated 80-page booklet, with descriptions and prices of all 

 my wood Rowboats, Dinghies, Sailboats, Sailing and 

 Paddling Canoes, Sails, Paddles, Oars, Rowlocks and 

 other boat-fittings.

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.
