New Tents.

By James Adams

SOME of our brethren in different parts think of purchasing tents this spring, and some have written me to make inquiries about the prices of different sized tents. The information may be of some benefit to others.

The following prices are from Gilbert & Hibbard, 205 & 207 S. Water st., Chicago, Ill.:

Tent top, 60 ft. diameter, of 12 oz. duck, $320. Rail ring and rope guy tackle, 35. Wall, cut 7½ ft., to lap 5 ft., of 8 oz. duck, 80. Total. $435.

This does not include wood work, nor rings for the stakes.

A reduction of $30 will be made, when the top is made of 10 oz., and $60 when of 8 oz. They bind themselves to these figures for the next two months.
