BOAT BUILDING TIME 
Is the time for the prospective Houseboat owner to consider plans and 
estimates. Next spring will be the right time to break away from the 
conventional summer life, save rent or country board, and become a 
houseboat dweller. The best preparation and incentive is reading 
ALBERT BRADLEE HUNTS 
“Houseboats and Houseboating” 
It is the only complete and thoroughly reliable work on the subject, 
and beside this, is one of the most beautiful and thoroughly readable 
books published. It is fascinating reading, dealing as it does with a new 
and delightful phase of outdoor life. 
It describes houseboat life, the equipment and furnishing of the 
floating home, with detailed plans for all types from the simplest to the 
most elaborate. It shows how the problem of the inexpensive summer 
home close to business and city is solvable, and covers every point that 
the seeker after houseboat truth can raise. Buckram, 332 pages, superbly 
illustrated, plans, etc.

The reputation of the Great South Bay for 
wildfowl shooting is in no sense local only—sports¬ 
men from everywhere have learned to meet the 
early migration of ducks, geese and brant along 
the deeply indented coast of Long Island, for in 
those sheltered nooks and coves the flight loves 
to halt and linger until driven far south at the 
rigorous chill of winter. The famed Chesapeake Bay 
offers later shooting, but none that is better. 
Great South Bay is sixty miles long and from 
two to five wide—plenty of room for lots of guns 
and ducks and geese enough for all. The Long 
Island Railroad parallels the coast the entire 
distance.
