RECREA TION. 



WHAT THEY SAY OF IT. 



I am more than pleased with your magazine. Your re- 

 productions of photographs, of game and sporting scenes. 

 are elegant, and are worth more than double the price of the 

 magazine. 



Enclosed find 25 cents, from this far Northwest, for the 

 fresh air fund of your magazine, from 2 well wishers, who 

 like to "read your pictures " and who want to help some of 

 those poor children. My little girls, Hazel and Gladys, 

 send this with their sympathy, and hope one or two other, 

 children may be made happy, even if only for a day. 



Thos. Boyd, Winnipeg, Can. 



I have never taken any publication (and I take many) 

 that gave me more real pleasure than Recreation does. 

 My mind goes back to the mountains, and for a while busi- 

 ness cares are lain aside. I am again among the deer, bear, 

 elk and other wild animals I was so intimately associated 

 with in my early manhood. 



Dr. R. Boyd Cabell, DeWitt, Mo. 



You certainly deserve credit for the way you have han- 

 dled Recreation, and I wish you the splendid success you 

 deserve. I have hunted all over the West — Wyoming, 

 Colorado, Montana — and was a cowboy in Montana. Your 

 Western stories interest me deeply. I read Recreation 

 every month, and only wish it were a weekly instead of a 

 monthly magazine. A. P. deFuniak, Birmingham, Ala. 



I will do all I can for Recreation. It is the best book of 

 its kind I ever read. I have gotten some valuable informa- 

 tion from it. One day I came across it at the news stand, 

 took it home and read it from cover to cover. I went back 

 and tried to get old numbers, willing to pay any price, but 

 soon found the dealers always sold them all. 



G. U. Waltman, Spokane, Wash. 



Recreation is becoming very popular in this city, among 

 many of my acquaintances, and it is a question of only a 

 short time, when a great many more of the people here will 

 know a good thing when they see it, Sportsmen who can- 

 not interest themselves in Recreation should not be 

 classed as such, in any sense of the word. 



E. N. Young, Minneapolis, Minn. 



I want to compliment you on Recreation. It is the best 

 sportsmen's magazine published. I could not get along 

 without it. I will send you a club of new subscribers, later, 

 as several have asked me to send in their names, having 

 seen Recreation in my office, and without any solicitation 

 from me. Dr. W. L. McNamara, Kenton, O. 



Long live Recreation. We have 4 sportsmen's publica- 

 tions in the house, but Recreation leads them all. Shall 

 always have a good word for it as long as it stays by the 

 principles it now advocates. 



E. W. Phillips, Missoula, Mont. 



Will try and interest my friends in Recreation (and in- 

 deed it does not require much trying). They lose a great 

 deal by not subscribing to such a feast of anecdote and in- 

 formation as is contained therein. 



Jas. Thornton, Brooklyn, N. Y. 



I enclose herewith my check for $1 for another year's 

 subscription. Recreation is getting grander every issue. 

 The May number is a beauty. I have every number, from 

 No. 1 to the present. Jno. G. Messner, Pittsburgh, Pa. 



Recreation fills a field to itself. It is impartial in its 

 treatment of outdoor sports. It is plain, straightforward 

 and appeals to the men who do the real work afield. 



F. C. Reihl, Alton, 111. 



Recreation is the best sportsmen's magazine in this 

 country, or any other, and you may rely on my being a sub- 

 scriber as long as it is published. 



P. K. Rossiter, Ithaca, N. Y. 



I am greatly pleased at the way you roast those fellows 

 who boast of their great strings of fish. We know some of 

 the men and have a good deal of fun with them about it. 

 S. S. Holmes, Baldwin, Wis. 



Recreation is charming. 



J. D. McLeod, Milwaukee, Wis. 



Recreation is the brightest and most interesting maga- 

 zine published, and I heartily commend you for the way in 

 which you call down the " Game Hogs." 



Theron Hill, Rochester, N. Y. 



Enclosed find $1 for Recreation. Accept my thanks for 

 the fine reading and the information there is in it. It is the 

 best sportsmen's magazine in existence, and I wouldn't be 

 without it. John Hepner, Marion, Wis. 



Inclosed find $1 ,to renew my subscription. Recreation 

 is the best periodical I ever saw, and improves each month. 

 My wife looks for it as eagerly as I do. 



D. M. Hazleton, Corning, N. Y. 



I have taken Recreation for 2 years, and always look 

 forward to the next number, as I know I shall have a treat. 

 James Atkins, Springfield, Mass. 



I have read Recreation 2 years, and it is the best mag- 

 azine of the kind published. 



C. L. Stevens, Niagara Falls, N. Y. 



I like your magazine better than ever, and so long as I 

 can find the dollar you can count on me as a subscriber. 

 G. A. Ross, Ft. Wayne, Ind. 



I .buy your magazine at a book store, and it is great. I 

 can scarcely wait a month for it. 



Fred C. Owen, Elmira, N. Y. 



Recreation is the best magazine published, and it has 

 come to stay as long as I have the subscription price. 



H. A. Buell, Maywood, 111. 



I cannot do without Recreation as long as I can find one 

 minute to read it. 



Frank N. Wise, Mt. Holly Springs, Pa. 



I read Recreation every month, and enjoy every page. 

 It is my ideal of a sportsman's magazine. 



A. C. Bryant, Cochituate, Mass. 



Recreation is out of sight. I will get you some sub- 

 scriptions for it soon. T. H. Wade, Livingston, Mont. 

 He has since sent in 54. Editor. 



My husband and I are great lovers of Recreation, and 

 now the baby seems to enjoy it quite as much, especially the 

 pictures. Mrs. M. H. Littell, Dallas, Tex. 



I find Recreation a very satisfactory magazine. It is 

 the sportsman's ideal publication. 



Fred W. Haynes, Roseburg, Ore. 



Recreation stands at the head of sportsmen's literature. 

 It contains the most valuable information to sportsmen. 

 Wallace J. Bundy, Colerain, O. 



I have only one thing against Recreation : it don't come 

 often enough. Chas. McClellan, Dallas, Tex. 



Recreation is at the head of the list of sportsmen's 

 journals. B. C. Packer, Lock Haven, Pa. 



Recreation is splendid — in fact the best of the kind I 

 ever read. R. G. Goldy, Williamsport, Pa. 



Recreation is the best magazine of its kind I ever read. 

 C. W. McDonell, Kensal, N. D. 



Recreation is the best'magazine I have ever read. 



John Schade, Albany, N. Y. 



Recreation is a splendid magazine. Everyone is de- 

 lighted with it. Robt. D. Knapp, Danbury, Conn. 



I could not keep house without Recreation. 



F. A. Rice, Avoca, N. Y. 



Recreation is decidedly the best magazine in its line I 

 ever read r Ed. Prather, Dallas, Tex,
