Outdoor sleeping house insures fresh air with elimination of actual outdoor disadvantages. This five-room Kenyon Take-Down House is often used for a summer home. Two-room Kenyon house of the closed type. This is suitable for cold weather. ■ A KENYON vacation has advantages over every other vacation ever known. The tastes of the household differ—that’s the way with every family. Dad likes to go fishing. Early each spring he examines his rods and flies and begins to revive, elaborate and verify the stories of last year’s big catches. It is a weighty subject. Mother desires a rest most of all. Sister hopes to go where her chum is going and Brother longs to try his new gun in the woods and prove himself a Nimrod. With a Kenyon Take-Down House this vacation ques tion is so easily managed that it seems ridiculous to remem ber the lengthy arguments of former years. You can go to any or every one of the places approved. Dad can take the little brown bungalow where the fishes bite but fail to qualify for the frying pan. Mother can have the bungalow set in the midst of her favorite scenery, near friends or in close proximity to a summer hotel. Sister can have the Kenyon house put in the schoolmate colony or have a camping par ty all her own. Brother can take to the woods and take his residence with him. tomary two, three or four weeks could be spent in all the loved spots the family treasures. In two hours’ time the lit tle brown bungalow can be completely set up, ready for oc cupancy. There is no appeal so strong and real as that of God’s great, green out-of-doors. There is no appeal which we ought to heed so readily. Preserve your health and your ability, gain a wholesome attitude toward life and its work by answering nature’s sweet, compelling call. In the early morning the birds awake and sing a matin. It is a delightful substitute for an alarm clock and a most welcome one. You turn in your comfortable bed and stretch. You see the sun shining an invitation. You arise with a whistle on your lips. At noon a keen appetite prompts the hardest labor of the day—that of filling hungry mouths. How good Dad’s several fish taste. The large one he lost could not possibly have been better. How bracing is the coffee poured from the huge pot! Was hoecake ever more delicious? clouds roll by in such infinite peace that watching them dis pels all memory of aggravating accounts, unsatisfactory so cial duties or trying lessons. Perhaps by and by the book falls from your hand and the sweetest slumber ever known closes your eyes. Vacations lengthen life and happiness, work shortens life and impairs efficiency. Continuous Can you imagine a nicer vacation than this? The cus- In the lazy afternoon there could be no greater happi ness than to lie beneath the shady trees to read and idle. The At night, after the legends and ghost stories are nar rated in the light of dying embers, you creep with tired joy ousness to the Kenyon Take-Down House. There on a com fortable cot you sleep with security and are refreshed for another day of happy activity. That's the reason Kenyon vacations are successful. There is no inconvenience, yet no lack of fresh air. Rainy days can be spent happily within a storm proof, well ven tilated home. The little brown bungalow stands serene and affords a sanctuary in unpleasant weather. You cannot stay ill, discontented or disagreeable on a Kenyon vacation. A grouch is an impossibility. The days can be spent in the beautiful out-of-doors, but every night is spent in comfort and security. Every morning you awake refreshed, no aching bones reminding you of yesterday's adventures. Try a Kenyon vacation this year. J. M. High Com pany will tell you how. On the second floor of their store is a one-room Kenyon which makes every one long to begin summer housekeeping amid the wild blessings. Catalogues are there, too, and a charming little booklet “The Call of the Red Gods.’’ un tlie Fifth" Floor you will find a two-room Kenyon, large enough for a good sized family. These little brown bungalows are a godsend. They are reasonable in price, compact for portage, easily erected and a complete, satisfactory shelter at all times. \17E will gladly furnish full information about the ’* Kenyon Take-Down Houses. We will supply cat alogues and write particulars to all out-of-town in quirers. J. M. HIGH COMPANY Sole Distributers for the South
