Don't Cheat Your Boy

Q)
I wonder if you fathers and mothers wouldn't
be surprised if you knew what your boy. really
thinks when you give him toys that are make
shifts that aren't genuine that soon have to
be cast aside?
I've never got over being a boy myself. I know
the importance to a boy of having things genuine.
I know how disappointed he feels when he
realizes that his toy isn't true; that the steel
work in his toy skyscraper isn't like, the- real
building he saw; that his toy motor won't
work. He's hurt; he feels that he's been
cheated !
There is nothing make-shift about Gilbert Toys,

and $4.50 worth of records of your own selection. We
have similar outfits at most any price you want to pay.
Our Record Department sends records, transportation
free, to any point in the United States.
Call or write for catalogs.
I have studied and worked as hard to make Erector mechani
cally true as other men do to make a bridge strong or a building
architecturally correct.
Your boy will build toy steel bridges, skyscrapers, battleships,
machinery with Erector and never lose interest in them, because
they're truel They're exactly like the real thing. Erector gir
ders have lapped, interlocking edges (a patented, exclusive feature
all my own) so your boy can build with square, four-sided
columns just like those in ac
tual skyscrapers.
If you were to talk to youi
boy's playmates, you would find
that most of them have Erector
-and all of them know about it.
Tney will tell you that Erector is
t the construction toy with every
piece stamped accurately out of
steel, scientifically made and cor
rect in design and proportion-,
that it builds the most, biggest,
and best models; that it has big
reinforced steel wheels, grooved
I'and'hubbed for every engincer-

ing purpose; that most sets have the powerful Erector Electric
Motor, which operates many of the models and will lift 100
pounds, when properly geared.
Is it fair to your boy to make him miss the fun that Erector
has given so many thousands nd thousands of boys? Remem
ber, Erector isn't just a plaything for a day or a week. It will
keep him happy, busy and contented for many months because
there's always something new to build with Erector oraethtng to
challenge his ingenuity and sat-
isfy his desire for variety. And
in addition to all the fun it pro
vides, Erector also awakens and ,
develops the constructive ability
which makes successful men.
Every toy store nd every depart
ment or hardware store which handles
toys sella Erector. It'a the best-known ,
American toy. Ask your dealer to show
yptftne,ftooUs Set No. Vthm. favorite X
of all the boys. It sella for $5. Other
