THE WONDER OF 

 THE AGE 





r 4V 



SUPERIOR TO A 

 $15.00 GLASS 



Fred Walsh, of Howe 

 Island, Ontario, Canada, 

 says: 



Gentlemen: — I have just 

 received your telescope, and 

 must say it surpasses all ex- 

 pectations. It is far superior 

 to one which we have had, 

 which cost $15.00 some years 

 ago. Just a few sights I 

 have seen with it are worth 

 more than double what it cost 

 me. 



COULD DISCERN 

 BOATS FROM FIVE TO 

 TEN MILES 



Mr. C. M. Medley, of 

 Duluth, Minn., who 

 purchased one of these 

 Telescopes, says they 

 are superior to any- 

 thing he expected; 

 that with it he could 

 discern boats on the 

 Great Lakes at a dis- 

 tance of 5 to 10 miles, 

 and in clear weather 

 he could read the 

 names of steamers and 

 other craft at a dis- 

 tance of one-half mile 

 away. 



WORTH MANY 

 TIMES THE PRICE 



The Saxon, New York, 

 Nov. 4, 1905. 



Messrs. Kirtland Bros. & Co. 

 Gentlemen : — I had with 

 me on my recent European 

 trip, one of your Excelsior 

 Solar Telescopes, with which 

 I observed an Eclipse of the 

 Sun. At the Austrian Tyrol 

 it was almost 80 per cent, 

 concealed. Your Solar eye- 

 piece is a great thing'. Its 

 value to me on this occasion 

 was many times greater than 

 the entire outlay for the 

 Telescope. 



Yours truly, 

 L. S. HENRY. 



Thousands of others are 

 saying good things about 

 these Telescopes. In 

 numerous ways it 

 will repay its cost a 

 hundred times over. 

 Get one and try it.

Never before sold on any 

 Telescope for less than 

 $8.00 or $10.00.

 one for $1.00. 



This Eye-piece alone is 

 worth more than we charge for 

 the entire telescope, to all who 

 wish to Behold the Sun in 

 its Tranquil Beauty. Re-

 and you have a good, practical

brass gauze that can be 

 made, and is a little smaller 

 than the bore. When pushed 

 through the barrel the spring of 

 the tempered steel backbone forces 

 some of the sides of the brushes against every particle of 

 the surface of the bore, exerts equal and constant pres- 

 sure from chamber to choke and does this without twist-

Steel Fishing Rods 



"Bristol" Luck 



means invariably good luck. 

 Of course you can't catch fish 

 if there are none in the pool, 

 and you can't persuade them 

 to bite always, but our kind of 

 good luck will be yours if you use 

 a "BRISTOL" Steel Fishing Rod, 

 which will insure you against bad luck 

 in the way of broken tackle and lost 

 fish. "BRISTOL" Rods last longer 

 and give better service than any 

 other Rod at any cost. 



Send for our beautiful Catalog showing Rods 

 for all fishing and our Combination Reel 

 and Handle which is an excellent feature.
