I am out for building up a permanent 
business with my many American shoot- 
ing friends, based on fine goods and 
square dealing. I can’t do this by play- 
ing any hanky panky and am not fool 
enough to think I could get away with 
it more than once. Most of you met 
me at Caldwell and Camp Perry in the 
B. S. A. and Small-bore show. My office 
expenses are small, I am in an excep- 
tional position to get in touch with the 
best second-hand firearms here, I can 
gauge American tastes and needs pretty 
well. I guarantee all the foregoing as 
absolutely genuine perfect arms equal 
to new, unfaked in any way, and cheap 
at the price. 
I will execute any buying commission 
for any other firearms or articles, getting 
you the lowest price and shipping by 
the safest, quickest and cheapest routes.

PLANS FOR A SINK BOX 
{Continued from page 449) 
but have never, unfortunately, seen one. 
I don’t know why they are not all built 
that way. If one is a good contortion- 
ist, he can twist his body around and 
cover about one-third of the circle from 
the “lie-down box.” If he is an acrobat 
and adept at throwing his legs outside 
on the deck in some fraction of a second, 
he can cover a little more. From the sit- 
up box, however, he stands on his feet 
when shooting, can easily cover most of 
the horizon and has all the advantages 
of shooting in the upstanding position. 
Sit down behind the trap some day 
with your feet out straight in front of 
you and you will agree with me. You’ll 
miss a lot of “clays.” Of course this 
type of box requires more water to float. 
The sketch gives dimensions for such a 
box. The platform should be about the 
same as the other. The seat should be 
adjusted to keep the sitter’s head just 
below the top. 
All boxes have aprons, or “fenders” 
attached to the sides and front or 
“head.” These are made of canvas on 
wooden frames, are hinged strongly to 
the deck and serve two purposes. They 
kill the tops of the waves and prevent 
their coming aboard ; and being hinged, 
carry out the continuity between the 
deck and the water so that there is no 
apparent break or shadow. The front or 
“head fender” is large because as the 
box is anchored from that end it has the 
biggest waves to kill. For the same 
reason, the canvas must be strong and 
well fastened to the deck. 
If you have never used a box, note 
that it requires a few cast-iron decoys 
and some lead weights to sink it to the 
water level, the amount of weight de- 
pending, of course, on the weight of the 
occupant. The upper surface of deck, 
aprons and inside of the box should be 
painted to resemble as much as possible 
the surrounding water.
