Do You Know This Manual From Cover To Cover?


Well, here is another rule for you to memorize:


"Whenever Hungry Eat Peter's Chocolate"

Alpine climbers, hunters, campers, and woodsmen of all descriptions consider Peter's Chocolate the regulation food for camp or trail.

It is absolutely the most sustaining; has the most delicious taste that always makes you want more, and does not create thirst.

Don't you go camping this summer without a liberal supply. You can get the nut chocolate or the plain chocolate as you prefer, but be sure to ask for Peter's, the Original Milk Chocolate.


Peter's comes in several varieties:


Peter's Milk Chocolate


Peter's Milk Chocolate Croquettes


Peter's Almond Milk Chocolate


Peter's Milk Chocolate with Roasted Hazelnuts


Peter's Bon-Bons

In conjunction with the Boy SCOUTS OF AMERICA we have published a book called "Boy Scouts." The text of the book is written by Mr. J. L. Alexander and the illustrations are by Gordon Grant. It is the only illustrated book of the Boy Scouts. We have made arrangements with the National Headquarters of the Boy Scouts of America to allow a commission of two cents to any patrol on each book sold for ten cents by the members of that patrol. We will send express collect, to the Scoutmaster any number of these books which he thinks can be disposed of within thirty days by the boys under him. At the end of that time he is to send us eight cents for each book sold and return the remaining books.

If a local organization is in need of funds to purchase pictures, furniture, uniforms or anything else needful for its rooms or activities, this affords an excellent opportunity for the boys to earn part or all of the necessary amount.

This book, "BOY Scouts," will be sent anywhere for ten cents in stamps or coin by


Minute Tapioca Co., Orange, Mass.
