1. As you read Forest and Stream through 
each week, you are frequently reminded 
of one thing or another that you desire to 
purchase. Such and such must be sup¬ 
plied to make your Shooting, Fishing, 
Camping or Cruising outfit complete. 
2. Possibly you need waterproof shoes, or 
waterproof clothing. Or a new tent? 
It is your intention to take a much longer 
trip this time, than usual. And you may 
be located where you do not have ac¬ 
cess to sporting goods houses where all 
of your wants can be filled. In fact, 
even the best of us are often in doubt 
when it comes to knowing where to 
get the thing we want at the right 
price. You wish you had a friend ?t 
your elbow to suggest. 
3. Our experts are right at your elbow. 
It does not cost you a penny (except 
your postage) to take advantage of 
their knowledge. They know where 
to buy and how. It is their business 
—and your advantage. 
4. Glance carefully over our advertising 
columns. If you don’t see what you 
want, write in to our Information De¬ 
partment. You will receive a full de¬ 
tailed reply—post haste—we’re always 
on the job. 
Isn’t this worth while, if for no other reason 
than to get the right information on how 
to reach your destination by the quickest 
and surest routes—what railroads or steam¬ 
ship lines to take ? 
Don’t put this off. Co-operate with us by
