Valparaiso, Ind., Dec. 24th. 

 Editor Forest and Stream:— 



Since I began to advertise in your paper my trade has 

 kept me at work night and day. I guess I will have to 

 take out the advertisement, or let my gun rust; have no 

 time for ' shooting, or anything else. But, on the second 

 thought, let it run, because I would be a public benefactor, 

 and am nearer that when making a good shooting jacket 

 than any other time, Yours truly, W. H. Holabird.

 the Forest and Stream, in the way of getting informa- 

 tion for your paper. — [Andrew H. Green, Comptroller, and 

 Central Park Com'r.

 Middletown University. 



I wish the Forest and Stream every success, and will 

 be most happy to lend any assistance in my power to maka 

 it so. — [Hon. Robert B. Roosevelt.

 facturer. I hope you will continue to let all sportsmen that 

 are honest and reliable express their views and experience

 one impartial paper in this country. You shall have my 

 support as far as it goes. — [Geo. Hajtjen, Jacksonville, 111.
