"PADDLE YOUR OWN CANOE" 



You will never know the real pleasure and benefit 

 of canoeing until you own a Rushton canoe. The finest 

 workmanship and 28 years' expert experience goes into 

 every one of 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 Hake up Your Hind 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.
