We have started hundreds in the boatbuilding business. 

 One man built sixteen boats from one set of patterns 

 last season; another built ten; the materials cost very 

 little; we furnish the design; they did the work and 

 sold the boats at a big profit. 



You need buy nothing from us but the patterns. We 

 have them of all kinds and sizes, from small rowboats 

 and canoes to sea-going yachts. We have over 50 styles 

 and sizes of boats and boat patterns, each one perfect in 

 design for its purpose. Our catalogue illustrates the prod- 

 uct of the best staff of designers in the world. 



Over ten thousand amateurs throughout the world 

 successfully built boats by the Brooks System in 1905. 



When so ordered, patterns are expressed, charges pre- 

 paid, C. O. D., allowing examination. 



KNOCK DOWN BOATS 

 complete from keel to cushions and fittings. We send 

 you a complete Knock Down Boat, even to the paint, 

 at a cost of very little more than the cost of the raw 

 material. 



Catalogue with full particulars free. For 25c. 100- 

 page catalogue, showing several working illustrations taken 

 from the instructions of each boat and a full set for 

 one boat; also valuable information for the amateur 

 yachtsman, rules for sailing, steering, passing, fog and 

 engine signals, etc.

The Mascot Call 



"Brings in the Ducks" 



Has that rattling, raspy, natural duck sound that "Brings 'Em In." 

 Hard rubber throughout, won't check, crack or corrode. — We guar- 

 antee the MASCOT DUCK CALL to be the only one made that Water 

 and climate positively does not affect or money refunded. Easily 

 tuned by any amateur and after a few trials you can imitate instantly 

 the cry of any duck. The MASCOT CALL is so natural ducks are 

 easily decoyed — that means a good day's shoot and a good bag. The 

 Mascot is simply perfection. If your dealer or wholesaler cannot 

 supply you, write us. Price, only $1 prepaid. Manufactured by the 



Multi-Novelty Company, 16 California Terrace, Chicago
