^individual fire Arms! 
3ml/' under the Direction 
H ERE is good news for every 
marksman, hunter and all- 
round sportsman. Made-to- 
order Firearms are now Ameri¬ 
can made products, built under 
the direction of a well-known 
marksman. k 
A Hoffman gun is not only built 
by the most skilled gunmakers, 
but each and every one is made 
under the personal supervision 
of Frank L. Hoffman himself. 
The marksman knows that ac¬ 
curacy in firing depends in great 
measure on the use of a gun 
that actually fits him. 
Any class of rifle, shot gun or 
trap gun is made right in our 
own plant and tested on our 
own private range. The name 
Hoffman insures a firearm that 
is ballistically correct. It assures 
you of getting the best marks¬ 
manship you have in you.

NEW INJURED MINNOW 
No. 1500 (Flat Side Chub) 
Don’t jerk your bait away from the fish— 
toss them an Injured Minnow, let it lay a 
few seconds, then give a few slow jerks and 
if there is a bass around he’s yours. This 
new Injured Minnow is a killer and will 
CATCH MORE FISH for you.

same way. Each kind of driving costs 
more or less. Slipping the clutch is 
costly, and so is riding the brake. 
Driving from the Atlantic to the 
Rocky Mountains, say, the first 1,800 
miles may cost only six or seven cents 
a mile. The drive, accustomed to 
moderate grades, to long stretches of 
level concrete, to the commonplaces of 
open country, farmland driving, is at 
home to Cheyenne, Denver and Trini¬ 
dad. Beyond there in the Rockies he 
may wear out his brakes in a day—and 
smash his car. He must climb un¬ 
imaginable mountains, and then coast 
down the far sides. His gasolene and 
oil bills mount, his tires may slide, 
and cut up, and his depreciation may 
double, or quadruple. He may spend 
fifteen or twenty cents a mile, just 
through failure to give thought to such 
things as using the motor’s compression 
to brake down a hill, instead of the foot 
and emergency brakes. 
An experienced mountain driver— 
Courtney Riley Cooper—gives the safe 
advice of coming down on the same 
gear as one goes up. Save the brake 
linings for an emergency. Come to 
stops slowly, not quickly—all the ad¬ 
vice as to careful driving for safety’s 
sake is also economical driving advice. 
And the flashy, careless, slap-dash 
driver will pay from a cent to five, ten 
and even more cents per mile above 
what those pay who watch every detail 
of their driving, studying always to 
have things right. Putting distilled 
water into the battery twice a week in 
the desert country may save the bat¬ 
tery, so that it will run two years 
instead of two months. 
Only the driver himself can obtain 
the fine points of economy, those things 
that add miles to a car’s life, and at 
the same time cut down the day to day 
costs. If one puts his mind into the 
subject, an automobile tour will disclose 
as many leaks as a complicated busi¬ 
ness. 
The simple expedient of asking fellow 
drivers about the quality of gasolene 
sold in towns ahead may save a good 
deal of embarrassment and expense. 
On the road one leaves behind the 
familiar gas always bought around 
home. The quality of gasoline grows 
worse from year to year. Cars fail to 
make the miles in one region that they 
do in other regions. Twice I have run 
into gasolene that simply boiled my 
radiator regardless of conditions. Fill¬ 
ing at a pump in Sante Fe, my motor 
boiled until I could fill again with better 
gasolene. At Kremmling, Colorado, we 
ran into actual kerosene. These ex¬ 
periences, met by the tourists here and 
there, are costly. They not only delay 
an outfit, but they compel adjustment 
of the carburetors, carbon removal, and 
even worse.
