[July 29, 1911. 
Living in the Open 
“We just live out of doors.” 
How often have you heard the delights of a favorite resort 
summed up in these words, as if they told the whole story of an 
ideal holiday? 
But how about the wife, the mother, the sister—the one who does 
the cooking for the party and spends two or three hours each day in 
a hot kitchen? Does she get her full share of “living out of doors”? 
With a New Perfection Oil Cook-stove no one suffers in the kitchen. In 
the first place, a New Perfection does not overheat a kitchen as other ranges do, 
so that even if you stay there you keep as cool and comfortable as in any other 
part of the house. In the next place, the New Perfection is so easily portable. 
You can move it where you please—get the air near an open window, or take 
it right out to a corner of the porch. 
It saves a lot of work, too. You have no wood to chop, no coal to carry, 
no ashes to clean up. There is none of the trouble of building up a fire at meal 
times. The New Perfection is ready for use at any minute. 
It is smaller than most other stoves; it is lighter; it is cheaper. But it cooks 
food to perfection. 
Made with 1, 2 and 3 burners, with long turquoise 
blue enameled chimneys. Handsomely finished 
throughout. The 2- and 3-burner stoves can be had 
with or without a cabinet top, which is fitted with 
drop shelves, towel racks, etc.

DID IT EVER 
OCCUR TO YOU 
That the time you spend stewing and fretting 
over the things you “think” you want to take 
along on your camping or fishing trip is so 
much time wasted and worry added? 
Do you know that all through your trip you 
will miss “things” you need, but overlooked, 
and that every time you need something you 
forgot to take, you are taking just that much 
pleasure from your outing? 
How can this time and worry be avoided—? 
Why! hand the job of equipping and planning 
your trip to our experts—men who have trav¬ 
eled, shot, fished and camped all over the 
world. 
Their days of forgetting necessary items are 
over. They have been through the “I forgot” 
period, and now take just what they know will 
be wanted, under given conditions. There 
are no emergencies to the tried camper—every¬ 
thing is expected and prepared for. 
So many pitfalls are laid for the inexperi¬ 
enced campers—clever minds prepare seduc¬ 
tive advertisements to catch the eye and dollar. 
This is one of the reasons my department 
is so useful, we know the gold from the tinsel. 
The sporting goods dealer who stands the 
lime light of publicity in a standard, out-door 
publication, is pretty sure to be reliable, but 
the man who tries to bring you into his store 
with signs in the window “Camper’s Outfits 
at bargain prices” isn’t always to be trusted. 
Tell me where you are going—or, if you 
haven’t decided on a place—tell me what you 
are going for—whether for fishing, hunting or 
loafing. 
How long you are to be gone? 
How many in the party? 
And 
I will tell you just what you want and where 
you may get the best for the money you have 
to invest. 
There is absolutely no charge or obligation 
to readers of Forest and Stream for the ser¬ 
vices of this department.
