BOAT COLLAPSED IN VALISE.

For Big Game Shooters, Duck Shooting, Fishing on Scotch Lochs, Yachts, Dinghies, etc., these boats are admirably suited, the materials employed are the best, the canvas used is of a special make. Made specially for the manufacturers, this canvas is treated with a Flexible Preserving Paint, rendering it waterproof in any climate, and insect-proof. The ribs, etc., are of selected Canadian Elm. The boats are so constructed that they fold in their length, concertina fashion, which gives them a distinct advantage over those types of Folding Boats which always maintain their length, only reducing their width or depth. When packed these Boats stow in a Canvas Valise, the whole occupying but little more space than a Gladstone Bag, which permits it being carried as personal baggage. To make ready or collapse the boat is the work of a few moments, and when in use they are equally as rigid as a wood boat, being practically flat bottomed they draw but little water, and have great carrying power, and it is possible to stand and cast a line or shoot with perfect safety.

Complete with 1 pair Jointed Oars, 1 pair Rowlocks, and Waterproof Canvas Valise.
