THE MULLINS PRESSED STEEL MOTOR BOATS. 



The W. II. Mullins Co., of Salem, Ohio, announce 

 that they will have an exhibit of their pressed steel 

 motor boats at the Motor Show, Madison Square Garden, 

 New York, between February 21st and March 8th, and 

 at the Boston Show, March 10th to 17th. They will 

 have on exhibition their 16, 18 and 22-foot motor boats, 

 and no doubt this exhibition will be of particular interest 

 to lovers of this sport. There are a great many excellent 

 features about a pressed steel boat that cannot be had 

 in the ordinary wood hull. This company has met with 

 great success in their line, and have made preparations for 

 a very much greater output during the coming season. 



THE FAY & BOWEN ENGINE. 



The Fay & Bowen Engine Co., of Geneva, N. Y., re- 

 port a large increase in sales for both the season just 

 closed and the season of 1906. They have not only ex- 

 tended their trade in the United States, but their foreign 

 trade has also increased and is constantly growing. The 

 distinctive feature of their two-cycle marine engine is 

 their patented mechanism for the make-and-break spark, 

 which is conceded to be the most reliable and efficient 

 device of its kind on the market. They also have special 

 features in design which appeal to the trade, and their 

 claim for reliability as a distinctive feature of their motor 

 appears to be well founded. 



Although they have heretofore manufactured but a 

 limited number of complete boats in comparison with 

 their output of engines, the demand for their high-grade 

 boat work has increased to such an extent that they are 

 planning to double their output of hulls 'this year over 

 last. In addition to stock boats in 21, 25 and 30-foot 

 launches, they manufacture special boats to order, among 

 those now under construction being a 30 x 7-foot boat 

 with glass front and extension roof, for shipment to 

 Florida; a 40-foot half-cabin outfit intended for the 

 Muskoka Lakes, and a 40-foot hunting cabin boat de- 

 signed for a St. Louis gentleman. They also build a 

 specially attractive combination speed and family boat 

 35 feet in length by 5 feet beam, equipped with their 

 four-cylinder, 16 h. p. engine and which, with even 

 this small power, attains a speed of 13 miles an hour. 

 They are making a specialty of high-grade hull construc- 

 tion and invite inspection of their plant at any time. 



SUCCESS IN ENGINE BUILDING. 



The Detroit Auto-Marine Company, yy Congress street, 

 East, Detroit, are making preparations to handle their im- 

 mense business for 1906, so that their customers will not 

 be disappointed on deliveries. They have recently incor- 

 porated with an authorized capital of $150,000, and new 

 and expensive automatic machinery, including some of the 

 finest grinding machines ever turned out, have been added 

 to their equipment, and they propose that in 1906 every 

 machine turned out by them will have every piston and 

 ring ground and polished, as well as the crank-shaft, and 

 as a result their engine will be as nearly perfect as it is 

 possible for the latest machinery t to make it. They are al- 

 ready under way building some 2,000 engines of the dif- 

 ferent sizes and will have a large portion of them on the 

 floor of their shipping room ready for 1906 deliveries. 

 They make six different sizes, from 1 to 20 h.-p., and from 

 1 to 4 cylinders, 



PETERS' IDEAL SHELLS. 



At Dublin, Ind., October 24th, high average was won 

 by Mr. L. H. Reid, shooting Peters' Ideal shells; score, 

 145 out of 150. Mr. Reid has recently attended six 

 tournaments, beginning with Lynn, Ind., September 23d, 

 following with Rensselaer, Ind.; Cedar Springs, Ohio; 

 Indianapolis, Ind.; Moreland, Ind., and ending with 

 Dublin, Ind., October 24th. He shot at 1,350 targets and 

 broke 1,322, an average of 98 per cent. This fine work 

 reflects credit on the man, but he insists that it is largely 

 due to the wonderful qualities of Peters' factory-loaded 

 shells. 



CARLOAD OF " 3 IN ONE." 



On October 31st the G. W. Cole Company, sole manu- 

 facturers of the famous "3 in One" oil, shipped an entire 

 carload in one consignment. 



This was the biggest single shipment of an order for 

 "3 in One" or any gun or household oil that was ever 

 made. The shipment consisted of 66,240 bottles. 



As everyone knows, who knows anything about guns 

 and oils, lubricants, etc., the sales of "3 in One" are 

 going forward by leaps and bounds, the increased sales 

 of this lubricant, cleaner and rust preventer being un- 

 precedented. "3 in One" has been sold all over the 

 world for many years. 



CALENDAR FREE. 



The Harrington & Richardson Arms Co., of Wor- 

 cester, Mass., have published a very attractive calendar 

 for 1906, and say that they will be pleased to send one 

 to any of our subscribers who will send his name and 

 address to them and mention that he saw the offer in 



RldCKliATION. 



WON A GOLD MEDAL. 



The Hunter Arms Co.'s new catalogue is now out, 

 and is a very handsome specimen of the printer's art. 

 Every man who uses -a gun should write for one of their 

 catalogues. 



This company makes the L. C. Smith Hammerless and 

 the Hunter One Trigger guns, which won the gold medal 

 at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, in face of very 

 keen competition. Their factory is at Fulton, N. Y. 



THE MARLIN BABY REPEATING RIFLE. 



The Marlin Firearms Co., of New Haven, Conn., is to be congratulated upon its latest offer to riflemen. In 



bringing out its Marlin Baby Repeater to handle .22 short cartridges, they have furnished something for which 



ihould be a great demand. Although it is not made to take down, it has all the advantages of a take-down, 



ich as the barrel may lie cleaned from both ends, and the gun may be packed for transportation in any 



ordinary Irunk. By taking off the tang screw and slipping off the buttstock the length is reduced from 36 to 



26% inches. This Baby Marlin ejects at the side and is chambered to take either .22 short or .22 long rifle car- 



The rifles senl out by the factory only handle the .22 short, but an extra carrier can be obtained, which 



will enable the .22 long to be used. The capacity of the magazine is 14 .22 short cartridges, which, with one 



in the chamber, gives 15 shots without reloading. There is a choice of octagon or round barrels. You should 



lend tin" stamps for the new [36-page illustrated catalogue, published by Marlin Firearms Co., which contains 



'i full desci iption of this 1 tfle.
