ELECTRIC SHOOTING GAME
Shooting Animals by electricity is certainly a most original game, and it will furnish a vast amount of amusement to all. The game is patented and copyrighted--because it is really a brand-new idea in games--and it brings into use that most mysterious something called electricity. While the electricity is perfectly harmless, there being no batteries, acids or liquids, it is very active and you will have plenty to laugh at. It is so simple that the smallest child can play it and so fascinating that grandpa will want to try it.
The "game-preserve" is neatly printed in colors, and the birds and wild animals are well worth hunting. Each has a fixed value--and some of them must not be shot at all--so there is ample chance for skill. Tissue-paper bullets are actually shot from the "electric gun" by electricity, and it is truly a weird sight to see them shoot through the air impelled by this unseen force.
The Outfit contains the "Game-Preserve," the "Electric Gun," the "Shooting-Box," and the "Electric Bullets," together with complete illustrated directions, all placed in a neat box.

Electric Air-Ships and Other Games
(patented)
[Illustration]
This is the age of air-ships and electricity, so what could be more up-to-date than electric "air-ships" that will float and dive and race around at the will of the operator? In this game Mr. St. John has again made use of a scientific principle, the "air-ships" being actually controlled by electricity. They are made to act in a most peculiar manner, with no wires, no fuss, no danger. They are under perfect control and can be made to ascend to the ceiling, drop to the floor or race across the room, as desired. You simply can't imagine how entertaining it is to see a lot of excited people managing these aerial racers, each eager to win.
The outfit contains illustrated directions and materials for two players, including the apparatus for producing the electricity and the "repeller" for managing the "air-ships" in mid-air. The little "air-ships" are actually made of metal and they can be instantly formed. Here's the latest sport for all ages, because the little ones can play too. Get into the game and be an aviator.
