SCOUTING.
TENTS GOODS
For the first time, the Department of Equipment and Supplies offets
a careful selection of reliable tents and camp supplies. These it recom-
mends to the attention of those who are planning Scout camps and who
may be unable, because of limitations of locality or time and experience, to
purchase such equipment for themselves.
The Department is in a position to procure at reasonable cost camp supplies of every description, in addition tb those listed here, and is
anxious to be of service. Scout Masters and others are respectfully urged to consult the Department upon any camp problems which may arise
connected with outfitting or maintenance. Upon request, it will also make available names of firms from whom high-grade food supplies may be
purchased at special prices.
PRICES DO NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING CHARGES UNLESS STATED. IN ORDERING,
DELIVERY IS DESIRED.

"RELIANCE" WALL TENTS.
Made from high-grade pure Standard Duck closely woven and without any foreign substance
added which would increase weight and decrease the natural efficiency of the goods.
Corners and eaves doubly sewed and reinforced, seams felled and double stitched, sewed-in
iron grommets on bottom; each guaranteed full size, full weight and full height, as per specifica-
tions below.
IMPORTANT: Trade practices make tent buying very difficult, as specifications are frequently
confusing. Tents described as being made of io-ounce and 12-ounce duck are frequently made
from material 36 inches wide, whereas as "Reliance" tents, marked as 10-ounce and 12-ounce to
conform to custom, are made from standard 29}^-inch duck, 8-ounce and io-ounce. Do not be misled
into purchasing io-ounce, 36-inch goods with the belief that you are getting tents of equal weight
and quality to these.

"RELIANCE" TENT FLIES.
As duck is not waterproof, it is customary to provide tents with flies, especially in permanent
camps. This not only keeps the roof dry, but makes the tent cooler as well. The same high-grade
material goes into their construction as that used in "Reliance" tents.
