Sounding The Assembly
T H E front cover of this catalog will appeal to every m a n and w o m a n who, once
in every so often, hears the clarion note of the call of the wild. The summons pene-
trates your office walls, yourfiresidecircles, your serious hours of business—and
it brings always with it the feeling of a brotherhood of the woods and streams.
It is to this relationship among sportsmen that the house of Abercrombie & Fitch
appeals, realizing that itsfirstduty is to worthily maintain membership in this brother-
-hood of sportsmen.
The object of this Outfitters' Catalog is to enable the customer living at a distan
to make the selections and purchases with just as much confidence in the result as the
resident of N e w York, w h o comes into the store and personally examines and selects.
As the executive head of this business, I ask you to write me personally if you sho
ever feel dissatisfied in any respect. If the service is not what you, as a sportsman, think
it should be; if the quality or wear of goods does not fully meet your expectation, or
if you find that what you get is not what you thought it would be, write m e and I will
see that you are satisfied.
Please feel that you are dealing with sportsmen who fully appreciate your point of
view. These goods have all been made for you with your point of view in mind. That
is the quality that makes them the recognized, thoroughbred sporting goods of the
world.
I personally know every piece of merchandise in these pages—it couldn't get in
if I did not. A n d every single article has m y personal endorsement, plus the Abercrom-
bie & Fitch guarantee; which means your money back willingly for anything that is
not satisfactory for any reason whatsoever.
This business has grown to such proportions that it is impossible to include every
article in the Abercrombie & Fitch stock in one catalog as formerly. W e issue at sea-
sonable times other catalogs on sporting subjects and w e shall be glad to supply you with
such of these as m a y interest you.

CAMPING
TI r0Ugl1 a he great range of sport Wlth rod or gun
v ^ i " ^ - - the Pursuit °f fur, feather or fin, there is a
kindred note—a basic principle—which underlies the specific purpose the sportsman has in mind. Camp-
ing out is the thing after all. Whether a m a n be after a bird or bear, trout or caribou; whether his
weapon be rifle, shotgun or jointed .rod, the cool, clean four walls of his nomadic habitation embrace all
the best moments of his playtime days. T h e camp, the tent, the bit of shelter in the middle of a great
silence, with the ocean-wide possibilities of the wilderness all around it—that is where the plans are
made,, the quarry gloated over, the day's sport re-lived, the stories told, the friendship cemented. That
is where the real big blissful moments of the truant-time freedom are drunk into the very soul Camper,
hunter, fisherman, canoeist, all are tent dwellers—all are campers first—all follow their chosen sport
as an incident. First of all they camp out, live—really live—in the clean, wide, free sweep of an unbounded
horizon, breathe an untainted air, limitless as the sky itself, and revel in a freedom that nothing else can
give—a keen, stimulating, uncloying pleasure that thrills to the bone, and then builds bone, sinew and
muscle, and makes blood, strength andfire,repairing the waste of months and years of toil and worry.
That is w h y the most famous physicians use the tent and camp life as their favorite prescription, giving
happiness and lengthening life thereby.
Get out in the open—live in a tent and save your life—take the tonic that Nature put for you into
the wind, the sky, the sunshine, the smell of the earth, the rain, the spices of the pine and hemlock odors,
the salt of the sea, the ozone of the great out of doors, which no contrivance of m a n can duplicate, or
even imitate.
Take it—it's yours—a king can have no more.
There's a bit of Paradise, only one mile, or five miles, or ten miles at the most from the cramped
little spot where you sit at this m o m e n t breathing an air tainted and burdened with the worries, fears
and bitternesses of the past few years. Your trials, your sorrows and disappointments are ground into the
walls around you, stamped into the floors you walk on, woven into all the too familiar things you see
every day.
R u n away to this bit of Paradise, pitch your tent there—and live. T h e soft, w a r m air from woods
and fields will soak into the kernels of your being as you loaf before your tent door and watch the little
forest creatures which come to the edge of the clearing to investigate your camp. A steady flow of
strength, of warm, pulsing, revivifying, fluidic electrons will rise from the w a r m earth beneath you and
give you a n e w vitality. Y o u , w h o sleep badly now, will drowse even in the daytime. W h e n it rains
you will nestle dry and w a r m in your blankets, hearing the quick patter on your canvas walls, on the
leaves outside, and feel the added freshness, the sweet, wild unrest in the air that makes you years
younger as it makes the growing things younger and more vigorous and more beautiful.
A n d when the soft black night comes, you sit outside your tent and smoke an old pipe, while the
shadows melt together through the lofty arches of the trees and form a dusky, protecting curtain which
rests your eyes and brain and soul.
Then some one lights a big, yellow m o o n for you and it sails grandly up the sky over the tree tops.
T h e little stars peep out and twinkle funny, friendly eyes at you, and all the little night noises begin
soft and confidential, and whisper of a peaceful world that has been for years just waiting for you to
. take your proper place in it. T h e crickets sing, the big pines croon an anthem—away off yonder a hound
dog sends a note ringing like a bell across a valley for you to hear and revel in. A night bird adds a
minor note that brings up all the clean, foolish, almost painful thoughts that you used to tingle with
w h e n you were twenty and when you knew that you would reach out next year and take your heart's
desire. Y o u are cleansed d o w n to simple, uncomplicated manhood in an hour, and there are no prob-
lems, no questions, no doubts. Y o u have absorbed the mighty, irresistible Peace of Outdoors, the most
splendid thing in the world, and you crawl into your sleeping bag, soft as a feather bed, and sleep as
you were meant to sleep all in a childlike, untroubled happiness.
Y o u don't have to shoot or fish. T h e camp, the tent, the big rim of the horizon, the trees, the grass
and the open air, that's all you want.
If you don't k n o w quite what to select, write and ask us. Tell us just where you want to go and
w h e n — w e will suggest a suitable and inexpensive equipment. W e will tell you what clothing, what
foods, what cooking utensils to take, and explain their use. .
Your bit of Paradise is always within reach if you only knew it.
The best part of it is that it is less expensive than staying at home. Y o u can get a tent complete for
$10.00, and if your tastes are simple you can outfit yourself cap-a-pie with a cooking outfit and good
supply for less than $30.00. O r you can be as sinfully luxurious as you like. T h e main thing is to g o —
go out into the big air spaces—wrap your lungs about the life-giving gusts of sun-flavored ozone, which
the sky pours d o w n for you—drink it in through the little capillary lungs of your skin, seize on your
birthright of earth contact—strip the rags of custom from your soul and take time for once to k n o w
yourself as you really are. . •'
There are six varieties of camping which w e divide into the Permanent C a m p and five varieties of
the Nomadic or Traveling C a m p . W e classify the five latter varieties as C A N O E , P A C K . H O R S E ,
T R A M P I N G , F O R E S T C R U I S I N G A N D A U T O M O B I L E C A M P I N G . Each of these five varieties
of the movable camp call for a somewhat different equipment, particularly as regards tents. W e make
these divisions according to the means of travel which the camper intends to employ, because they are
the most commonly in use in this country. W e might add two other divisions such as W A G O N T R E K -
K I N G IN S O U T H A F R I C A and T R A V E L I N G B Y D O G S L E D IN T H E F A R N O R T H . The char-

selected for permanent camps, is the Wall Tent or Family Compartment Tent, the size and materials of
this shelter being determined by the distance of the camp from the highway, the character of transporta-
tion necessary, the number in the party, the sort o f country, the climate and the time of year. A camp
m a y be made almost a permanent home, all sorts of camp furniture, chairs, hammocks, etc., being readily
obtainable. The bulk of the outfit need not be seriously restricted by transportation reasons since only
two trips have to be made, one in and the return trip out. Whether the camp be permanent or nomadic,
the first thing to be considered is the Tent, the house, then food to be carried or taken along, the sleep-
ing bags, fourth the cooking outfit, camp furniture, axes and other simple camp accessories. These w e
catalog in all their various forms under the proper headings.
CANOE
In canoe transportation the choice of the outfit must be determined by,firstof all, the kind of water-
way to be traversed. The second consideration is the length and number of the portages or carries over
land between passable waterways. Third comes the amount of duffle, or camp and personal equipment—
this dependent again on the objective and the duration of the trip. Thefirstessential is the selection of
the right canoe. Lake travel calls for one model, river work another, both must be modified by the
amount of equipment to be carried. O n getting exactly the right canoe largely depends the success or
failure of the trip from the standpoint of pleasure. W e particularly pride ourselves on being specialists
in this branch of sport.
Our canoes are comprehensive of all types and models which have proven best in the various locali-
ties where the paddle reigns supreme. There is a specific model for each purpose and there are sound,
absolute, definite reasons w h y that sort of canoe and no other must be used, for that purpose. This is
not the result of guess-work, but the experience of the best-known canoeists and guides. The locality
for a canoe trip m a y be easily selected. Maps of such localities and information concerning them are
furnished by Passenger Agents of Railroads and Steamship Companies. W e have ourselves a vast fund
of data on trips over the well-known waterways and the little frequented lake and river trails. O u r cus-
tomers are constantly adding to this new and most interesting matter, which w e will gladly furnish
you on request.
PACK-HORSE
Invading the wilderness by pack-horse is a method employed by thousands yearly and its range is
so wide as to prevent discussion here through lack of space. Practically the entire continent is open to
this form of adventure and its variations are wide in the extreme. ' For admirable, complete and de-
lightful information w e refer you to " C A M P A N D T R A I L , " by Stewart Edward White, a master of
the subject, whose personal experiences are most valuable and instructive. His data on the various oufits
and what Not to take is most ample. W e will send you this volume, postpaid, for $1.25, or you m a y get
it through your o w n book dealer for the same price.
Our pack-horse outfits are famous among Forest Travelers. Mr. White himself, and the most noted
hunters and explorers, all have visited us for supplies, and have themselves contributed to the extent
and perfections of the articles and accessories m a d e exclusively by us for this purpose. These are de-
scribed and illustrated in subsequent pages.
TRAMPING
Tramping m a y be placed in two divisions—ROAD T R A M P I N G and F O R E S T C R U I S I N G . T h e
former comprehends walking tours through foreign countries as well as in this country, the traveler
carrying all his baggage on his back, but stopping at the nearest hotel or inn wherever night overtakes
him. This recreation is in itself a splendid sport and opens vistas of wide possibilities to those w h o
wish to cover a country thoroughly, becoming intimately acquainted with its physical details, the habits
and characteristics of its people. It is particularly popular with clergymen and college professors of
w h o m w e outfit hundreds every year for tramping tours through our o w n and other countries, and the
pedestrian needs but his walking suit, which, however, must be carefully chosen for the purpose, a change
of underwear, a few toilet accessories and a waterproof garment all carried in a ruck sack, which he
packs on his back. These w e catalog elsewhere as well as a wide choice of garments made especially
for this purpose.
FOREST CRUISING
H e w h o adventures into the big timber must look well, to his choice of an outfit. Tent, food, sleep-
ing bag, cooking outfit, axe and camp conveniences must be carried on his back and as an added weight
comes the gun of his choice with ammunition. This weight he must bear day after day, often
through almost impassable country where the effort necessary to going forward alone is a quite "sufficient
strain without that of a single unnecessary ounce on his shoulders. His tent, his home, must be chosen
with scrupulous care. It must be exactly right, the tent for the country he will visit; a mistake m a y
mean sickness, surely discomfort and a trip spoiled. His clothes must be the right weight and texture,
depending on the climate. The selection of food is a serious problem. Too much means" discomfort and
fatigue—too little means hunger, perhaps privation. W e solicit correspondence on this subject. The
fisherman has similar problems which interest us equally as much. W e catalog light, convenient and
easily carried articles of camp equipment, for one or more persons for various lengths of time, and the
best forms of clothing for forest travel.
AUTOMOBILE CAMPING
This is the very newest out-of-door sport and the complete outfits of its originators were designed
and built by us. W e catalog automobile tents, sleeping bags, cooking outfits, food outfits, in a word,

PACKING
It can hardly be said that packing is one of the joys of a camper's life, for the trials and tribulatio
of the portage are m a n y and varied. Still, it must be classed among the "necessary evils," inasmuch as
its burdensome travail goes a long w a y toward accentuating, by contrast, the quiet content of the peace-
ful camp or thefiercejoy of conquering the wilderness and writing, perhaps, one's name upon a virgin
page. T h e toil and terror of the portage and trail is, of course, greatest to him w h o is most poorly
equipped. Packing under the conditions which w e encounter in our native wilderness can be divided into
two classes—the "carry" or portage pack which must be swung upon the camper's back for fairly short
hauls, and the horse pack. T h e duffle bag, pack basket, and the specially made up or designed pack re-
ceptacle with harness, constitute the most practical forms of h u m a n carrying. These vary in style ac-
cording to the conditions and the size of the outfit. It is well to have the advice of someone thoroughly
versed in packing before the form of pack is selected for any trip that will necessitate a great deal of
carrying. M u c h m a y be spared one of trouble and discomfort by the selection of a correctly designed
and properly m a d e equipment, and in the following pages w e show a collection of such, designed by those
w h o "know h o w " and m a d e as well as it is possible to make them.

FIREARMS
We carry a large stock of sporting rifles, shotguns and revolvers. The fire arms listed here we
carry regularly in stock and can ship immediately on receipt of order. Orders for special attachments
can usually be executed promptly in our o w n shop. W e give special attention to orders for made-to-
order guns, and will gladly give information as to any m a k e or style of gun, whether regularly carried
by us or not.
W e repair any m a k e of fire arm.
Rifles—We carry the best American and European rifles. W e recommend bolt action rifles as the
best for sporting purposes, on account of the safetv of their mechanism. T h e Jeffery's are the best
bolt action rifles made.
Revolvers—The Colt and Smith & Wesson stand without a peer for reliability and service.
S h o t g u n s — W e carry a full assortment of the best American makes. W e are the U . S. agents for
Lang & Son, London, makers of the finest hand-made guns in the world.
JEFFERY'S RIFLES
W e have selected and catalogued the six models of Jeffery's Rifles which w e consider the best suited
to general sporting purposes, viz.: the n e w flat trajectory (.280, .280/.333 and .333), the all-round .333,
the heavy striking .404, the light-weight .256 and the .400 single-shot Cordite.
This selection gives the sportsman a choice of rifles adapted not only to big g a m e hunting in
America, but also Africa, India, or any of thefieldsinvaded by the big g a m e hunters, Arctic or tropical.
The Jeffery's Rifles are manufactured by W . J. Jeffery & Co., Ltd., of London, England. W e have
the exclusive agency of this line of high-grade arms for the U. S. and Mexico.
Every gun is sighted, shot and carefully tested and submitted, to the severe English proof tests.
These rifles are manufactured on scientific principles and no detail is left to chance. T h e tests are
conducted under various conditions—of barometer, altitude and thermometer—thus insuring uniform re-
sults in wet or dry weather, on the mountain top or at the sea level, in the Arctic or under Equatorial
suns.
T h e striking force, penetration and trajectory are carefully computed. Each rifle has its particular
purpose and place and can be absolutely depended upon to m a k e good w h e n called upon.
The material and workmanship of these arms are unqualifiedly the best that h u m a n skill can devise
for the purpose imposed. Each gun is m a d e in two grades, and although the quality of steel is slightly
different, the main variations are in quality of w o o d used in stock, ornamentation and general finish.
If these guns had no other features of merit, the excellence of the sights used and the adjustment
of the sights before the gun leaves the proving ground would c o m m a n d for them first place a m o n g the
sporting riflesTHE
of theNworld.

Fishermen have heretofore experienced considerable
difficulty in ordering the right size of tip top. T o
m a k e selection and ordering easy w e have made the
following diagram showing the complete graduation
of sizes in which tops are made. T h e illustration
shows from the smallest size, which is 2-32 of an inch
in diameter (Size 2) up to 14-32 of an inch (Size 14)
which is the largest size regularly made. In ordering
any style of top refer to this diagram to select your
size. T h e topfigurein the fraction is our size number
Notice—If you have any difficulty in measuring
your size there is one sure way of getting it right—
whittle a piece of wood the size of your tip, send it in
with your order and w e willfita top to it.

LINES
In selection of the proper line to use for different styles of fishing, the length and the weight of the
rod should be considered. In fly casting particularly the line shouldfitthe rod. T o o heavy' a line will
not cast far and too light a line will not cast at all. Fly casting lines should be enameled braided silk,
smooth and flexible—heavy enough to shoot or run through the guides easily and not kink.
For bait casting, the soft braided silk line that is smooth and does not hurt the thumb is preferred—
this line will not wear as well as a hard braided line. T h e experienced bait caster knows this and is
willing to sacrifice wearing quality for good casting qualities, often using up a n e w line in a day's fishing.
For still fishing and trolling the braided lines will give the best service.
Linen lines are m a d e in all sizes for the m a n y kinds of fish in the salt water. Lines, w h e n not
in use, should not be stored in d a m p places, or left exposed to the sun. After the day's fishing is over,
dry the line (see line Dryers on page 106) thoroughly before putting it away, so that it will not rot or
mildew. Enameled lines should be removed from the fishing reels and w o u n d loosely on large spools
or reels (see page 108) for the winter. B y doing this you will give the line a rest and it will not be
full of kinks or cracked on account of being left packed closely on the reel.
There are certain waters which contain m u c h alkali. Waterproof or enamel lines will give the best
results in such waters. Plain braided silk lines will seldom last a day—the action of the water even
changing the color of the line in a few hours.
BRAIDED AND ENAMELED WATERPROOF SILK LINES

lines catalogued, you are in doubt as to the

and select the one you want.
TAPERED LINES
Tapered lines are of larger size in the middle and gradually taper d o w n at both ends to a smaller
size. This feature enables the caster to handle a longer line and place it upon the water more delicately
and with greater skill. In specifying the sizes of tapered lines under the various catalog listings the size
given indicates the middle of the line, and not the smaller tapered ends; for instance, a " C " line indicates
that the heavier or middle portion of the line is C " in size and tapers to " G " at the ends. T h e correct
tapers of all lines are as follows: Size F tapers to H at the ends.
Size G tapers to I at the ends. Size D tapers to G at the ends.
Size E tapers to H at the ends. G at the ends.

BRAIDED LINES
These lines are k n o w n by sizes, which, unlike twisted lines, do not represent the number of threads in
their construction. Braided lines arc considered superior to twisted lines for trolling on account of their
non-kinking qualities. They do not have a tendency to wind and twist. Braiding is very tight and the line
extremely hard. Illustration shows relative sizes.
" M O H E G A N " W I R E T R O L L I N G LINE
These lines have entirely replaced all others for
deep lake trolling for such fish as lake trout, togue,
etc. Their great advantage is that they require no
lead or sinkers to take the line d o w n to the required
depth, unless exceptionally deep, and there is in
consequence m u c h less drag upon the line. A n -
other thing in their favor is that the line is always
rigid and as a fish must strike against a taut line
he invariably hooks himself—there is no stretch or
give as with linen or other lines. T h e "Mohegan"

FOOTWEAR
B y far the most important of all outdoor equipment is your footwear. W h e n your feet hurt, you
hurt all over. Loose, leaky, non-supporting shoes have kept many a hunter sick in camp—lost more than
one important tennis match-spoiled many a good "end run." Whether you climb a mountain trail play
baseball, golf, or only walk a country road, your shoes mustfitand your feet must be kept dry. These
two considerations outweigh all others.
F r o m all the four ways of the earth w e have drawn our knowledge of shoe making as best suited
to each outdoor game. O u r stock represents the best selected models and styles to be had in every sport-
ing line, whether it's a Moccasin, Hunting Boot or the newest Golf or Soccer Shoe.
In hunting footwear w e use mostly a c h r o m e tanned leather, which always remains soft and pli-
able, and will not dry out hard under any circumstances. M o s t hunting boots are m a d e of heavy,
stiff leather, are never comfortable, and they tire the wearer after tramping but a short distance. O u r
boots will stand nearly as m u c h abuse as the heavier ones, but they only weigh about one-half as
much. Double oak soles are furnished with these shoes. W e have found from experience that the
oak leather is the best wearing and most water-proof sole leather obtainable, also that hobs will
stay in m u c h better than in any other. H o b nails are put in only w h e n ordered. Conical nails will
be supplied without charge, but where Swiss nails or screw calks are required there will be an extra
charge according to quantity used. N o boots will be exchanged that have been hobnailed.
Our W o m e n ' s Sporting Footwear is unequalled anywhere in the world to-day. M a d e of the same
splendid material as our men's shoes and in the same attractive
styles, but remodelled expressly to suit a woman's foot. They
are the only shoes obtainable that duplicate the fine qualities
of our sportsmen's footwear and that will, under the trying AROUND LEG
conditions for w'hich they are intended, keep a woman's feet
comfortable and dry.
AROUND LEG
H O W TO MEASURE FOR SHOES
First, take measurements over the stockings. Second, give
every measurement indicated on diagram exact—make no al-
lowances. If you want your shoes snug or loose let us make AROUND LEG
the allowances. Third, take measurements without weight bear-
ing on foot. D r a w the tape to an easy pressure. Fourth, place
foot on sheet of paper and draw outline, being sure to
hold pencil perpendicularly. D o not retrace your outlines. AROUND ANKLE
Fifth, give size and width of shoes usually worn. Sixth, give HEEL
distance from sole of foot at heel to E A C H leg measurement. INSTEP-
