BED HAMMOCK 



For Verandas, Porches, Lawns, Indoors 

 The Perfect Gouch for Outdoor Sleeping 



A Howe Hammock has hung foreipht or ten summers (the 

 owner doesn't remember which) on a porch within two hun- 

 dred feet nf the Atlantic Ocean. Last season a visitor 

 referred to it as "yournewhammock." Forty years' experi- 

 ence show that Eowe's Hammocks give ten years of contin- 

 uous out-of-door service. As far as the signs of wear go, you 

 can't tell whether a Howe Hammock has been used six 

 months or six years. 



It is made by sailmakers on the model we supplied for 

 years to the U. S. Navy, It. is made from duck that is 60 per 

 cent, to 200 per cent, stronger than that in any other, and 

 sewn with thread that is twice as strong. It has sewing and 

 bracing that no other maker has learned the need of. It is 

 handsome, but severely plain— no showiness, just solid merit. 



Our Khaki canvas is permanent in color and will not soil 

 clothing. Your home isn't all it should be until you own a 

 Howe Hammock. 



A very few first-class stores are licensed to sell our ham- 

 mocks. If not conveniently situated, you should buy direct 

 from us. We prepay delivery charges, and ship carefully 

 packed, ready for hanging.

Adding the Fibre Needle to the Victor is like adding a 

 new group of beautiful pipes to a church organ. It gives 

 new range and variety, as well as beauty. 



Some Victor Records sound best played with a Victor 

 Steel Needle, others with a Victor Fibre Needle. With the 

 Victor you can have both. You- can adjust volume and 

 tone to suit the record and the conditions. Practice soon 

 develops the ability to use the different Victor Needles in 

 bringing out the peculiar beauties of different records. 



Learn how to use the changeable needles in playing 

 the Victor, and you will find in 

 it new charms and beauties.
