“I like you, Jim, but 
your Cream is no good,” 
said a traveling salesman friend of mine 
the other day — and he meant it. Claimed 
he had been giving Metmes’s Shaving 
Cream a fair trial for a week, and it fell 
short of my claims about 103%. 
“Try it once more,” I said. “And I'll 
buy you a dinner if you haven’t changed your 
mind. ” 
I watched him carefully. He squeezed out 
enough cream for three shaves and brushed it 
for 39 seconds by the watch, using a scant 
brushful of water. 
“Wash it off!” I said. “You are making 
paste — not lather. Start all over.” 
Then I took charge. 
He started with about one-half inch of 
cream and all the water his brush would hold. 
As soon as a lather was whipped up, he kept 
adding water until he had built a lather as light 
as beaten whites of eggs. He worked this 
lather in nvith the brush for three full mi.iutes. 
Say! I wish you could have seen the 
expression of dawning appreciation that showed 
in his eyes as the old scythe began to sing 
through the stubble. 
“Gosh! Jim,” he said, after the first 
over, “I haven’t had such a shave since that 
old darkv head barber at the Planters' Hotel 
retired, fifteen years ago.” 
Tm elling this story because it would be 
too bad for anyone to lose a life-time of jdeas- 
»nt Mennen shaves by getting prejudiced at 
the start because of a wrong method of using it.

AT CRANBERRY LAKE 
(continued from page 228) 
an elongated letter “S” over his head. 
A three pound trout struck from be- 
neath an old log, and he missed. With 
wonderful dexterity and precision he 
placed the fly in exactly the same spot. 
The trout struck five times on five suc- 
cessive casts, leaping clear of the water 
each time with a vicious lunge at the 
fly. About this time Mr. Trout de- 
cided that the pretty looking Montreal 
for wihch he was jumping was nothing 
he cared for and ceased his labors. But 
I saw Rudy land a dozen nice ones soon * 
thereafter, and \ had witnessed a show 
you don’t see every day, and cheap at 
any price. 
Rudy could not make out why I pre- 
ferred to fish a stream and catch seven 
inch trout rather than to sit in a canoe 
and catch two-pounders casting, but 
they are distinct branches of the sport, 
both alluring. 
I cannot conceive of anything ap- 
proaching nearer the ideal, than to fol- 
low a beautiful mountain stream, how- 
ever difficult its passage. There is 
something fascinating about the rip- 
pling, gurgling stream, with its rifts, 
pools and falls, coursing through the 
wilderness of Nature’s Domain — the 
moss covered rocks and logs and over- 
hanging trees, surmounted with the 
tense interest of watching your line 
straighten out witl) a sharp tug as a 
hungry trout darts out and back. Even 
the wading of the stream holds a subtle 
charm, completely lost in pond or open 
water fishing, not by any means to dis- 
parage this end of the sport, and need- 
less to say I availed myself of the 
chance to fish a number of beautiful 
streams nearby, with splendid success, 
during my stay. And while back in 
the harness for another year’s work I 
cherish the memory of trout fishing days 
at Cranberry Lake. 
THE SPORTSMAN 
BUYER 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 230) 
almost as clumsy as a railroad tie. 
The buying sportsman has a right to 
expect something more from a salesman 
than what would come to him from a 
butcher selling pork chops. He anti- 
cipates much of the pleasure of the woods 
and streams in his getting together of 
the tackle and the duffle for his long 
looked for play-day. He wants per- 
sonality, magnetism, sympathy, enthus- 
iasm, of course he wants courtesy but 
that always goes among gentlemen. 
One fine New York store appreciates 
this sentiment to such a degree that be- 
fore you are aware, the salesman has 
you in a real log cabin far above the 
busy streets, where he puts the little 
rod together and invites you out on the 
roof to lay the line across a pool of real 
water, while the gulls from the harbor 
wheel screaming overhead. 
The sportsman expects to be advised 
in an intelligent manner as to the cor- 
rect outfit he needs.
