You Carry These Life-Like Decoys Folded 
When needed you blow them up—On going 
home, simply let out the air and fold. 
The AIR-TITE Decoy is the most artistic imitation of a duck ever produced. 
The life-like colorings of the duck are lithographed in waterproof colors on 
finest quality canvas.

Inside the canvas is an “inner tube” of tough, durable rubber of the very finest quality. 
You blow the decoy up with your breath. The Aire-tite and rust-proof valve prevents leak- 
age of air. When through hunting, deflate the decoys and fold them up. You can carry 
a dozen easily in your pocket. None of the bother of carrying heavy, bulky decoys. 
Should you puncture one with a shot, put on a cold patch (we send a supply), and the 
tube is as good as new.

I thought it would snap any second and 
my landing net used for bass and pike 
would have been a joke, so the boatman 
(not a guide mind you, but a young 
boy who kéeps the boat clean and oiled, 
and who had stood spellbound through- 
out these foregoing events save for an 
occasional “Gosh” and “Golly”) quickly 
put on a pair of cotton gloves he used 
when cleaning the brass on the boat; 
the Governor took up the gaff hook and 
as the fish slowly came along side the 
boat the gaff hook was shot home, the 
boatman grabbed him with the cotton 
gloves behind the hugh gills and the
