RECREATION'S ADVERTISER 



10,686 amateurs successfully built boats by the Brooks System last year. Fifty per cent, of them 

 have built their second boat. Many have established themselves in the boat manufacturing business. 



If you can drive a nail and cut out a piece of material from a full-sized pattern — you can build a 

 Canoe— Rowboat— Sailboat- Launch— or Yacht— in your leisure time— at home, and the building 

 will be a source of profit and pleasure. 



Our big free catalog tells how you can build all styles of boats— all sizes. All you need 

 is the patterns, costing from $2.50 to $25.00 — and materials from $5.00 up — with ordinary household tools. 



The Brooks System consists of exact sized printed paper patterns of every part of the boat— 

 witli detailed instructions and working illustrations showing each step of the work — an itemized 

 bill of material required and how to secure it. 



Our catalog shows our full line of knock-down and complete boats. 



Satisfaction guaranteed or money refunded.
