Anyone using the Brooks System, no matter iwy* inexperienced he is in the use oS 

 tools, can build his own row boat, sail boat, launch or canoe, in his leisure time, at the 

 cost of a little lumber and a few nails. All the boats builtlast year, by allthe boatiactories in the United 

 States, combined in one fleet, do not equal the boats built during the same time by novices using the Brooks System. 



The Brooks System consists of exact size printed paper patterns of every piece of the boat; 

 detailed instructions to build and a complete set of half tone illustrations covering every step of 

 the work: an itemized bill of all material required and how to secure it. We tell you how to lay the 

 pattern of each part on the proper piece of material— how to cut it out — how to fasten each part in its right place. 



One man built sixteen boats last season— another built ten— the material costs very little— we furnish the pat- 

 terns,— they did the work and sold the boats at a big profit. Over six thousand amateurs successfully built boats 

 by the Brooks System last year. Fifty per cent, of them built their second boat. You need buy nothing from us 

 but the patterns. All kinds and sizes from a small row boat to a 51-foot cruising yacht. 



When so ordered, patterns are expressed, the charges prepaid, c.o.d., allowing examination. Full line of 

 Knock Down and Complete Boats. Catalog with full particulars free. For 25c large catalog showing several 

 working illustrations of each boat and a full set for one boat; also valuable information for the amateur yachts- 

 man; rules for sailing, steering, passing, fog and engine signals, etc.
