RECREA T10N.

WHAT THEY SAY OF IT. 



Recreation is a splendid magazine, and will continue to 

 find its way into many homes by reason of its truthfulness 

 and its attitude toward the game hogs, that roam through 

 the woods shooting game out of season. Let all honest 

 sportsmen unite in bringing these disreputable swine to 

 justice. 



I would prefer the acquaintance of a genuine 4-legged hog 

 to that of such men. L. D. Wright, Toledo, O. 



We have been readers of Recreation since Feb. '97, and 

 think it the best of its class. We have named our new boat 

 Recreation, and when we camp out this summer (as we 

 do every summer), we shall call the camp Recreation. We 

 shoot both rifle and shot gun, and are very much pleased 

 in reading the different opinions about guns and loading.

Recreation for May is by long odds ahead of any pre- 

 vious numbers. The phenomenal growth of this magazine 

 must be the result of your untiring labors. I trust your suc- 

 cess has but just begun. Enclosed find 10 cents for Recre- 

 ation's fresh air fund. Should think all subscribers would 

 promptly respond to this request. 



J. H. Ramsay, Seaboard, N. C. 



About 2 weeks ago I sent you a check for $1.10 — $1 

 for renewal of my subscription to " Recreation," and 10 

 cents for the fresh air fund. Up to date I have not re- 

 ceived a receipt for same, and, worse than all, my copy of 

 the magazine has not come to hand. You can keep the re- 

 ceipt, but for Heaven's sake send the magazine. Can't keep 

 house without it. T. C. Todd, Baltimore, Md. 



I thoroughly appreciate your efforts to please me in the 

 matter of premiums, and thank you, gratefully, for the in- 

 terest you have taken in my behalf. Accept my best wishes 

 for Recreation, the best magazine published, and for its 

 big hearted editor and manager. 



H. O. Matter, Harrisburg, Pa. 



Mr. H. O. Motter, 1933 No. Seventh St., says: "Rec- 

 reation supplies a long felt want." 



Mr. Jacob Keough, 1501 No. Sixth St., says : " Of all the 

 magazines published, in the interest of sportsmen, Recrea- 

 tion is the best." C. Middaugh, Harrisburg, Pa. 



I am a crank on rifles and life in the woods, and spend 



a good deal of time with you for my companion, in the 



shape of your delightful magazine, for which I thank you, 



and the good soul, whoever he was, who gave you my name. 



W. H. Nelson, Forest Glen, Md. 



We take great pleasure in reading Recreation, as we are 

 office slaves here, and can get but little time for play. We 

 draw what comfort we can from reading of the exploits of 

 others. Joseph Bowman, Wichita, Kan. 



Your magazine is the best I have seen yet. All my sub- 

 scribers are well pleased with it. We are all waiting pa- 

 tiently for the next issue, as each number excels the one 

 past. H. Patterson, Wellsville, O. 



Recreation is growing in popularity. Those whom I 

 have sent subscriptions for are much pleased with it, and 

 are eager for the 1st of the month, so they can get Recrea- 

 tion. A. L. Atkins, North Yakima, Wash. 



I am very much pleased with the magazine, and compli- 

 ment you on the improvement shown in each succeeding 

 number. Its influence in behalf of game protection is sure 

 to be felt. J. O. Paddock, Rock Island, 111. 



Recreation is the best magazine, for sportsmen, I have 

 ever seen. The illustrations in it are worth a great deal 

 more than the money paid. 



A. S. Marshall, Cora, Wyo. 



I enclose $4 and the names of 4 subscribers for Recrea- 

 tion. Everyone is delighted with your beautiful magazine, 

 and there is no trouble in getting subscribers. 



Rev. G. D. Bayne, Pembroke, Ont. 



I am a constant reader of Recreation, and enjoy it very 

 much. It is truly a sterling publication. 



Dr. F. B. Morrill, Los Angeles, Cal. 



I never undertook so easy a job as getting up a club for 

 Recreation. I thought I might get 10 names, but 1 now 

 have 43. Our sportsmen are delighted with the magazine. 

 Rev. G. D. Bayne, Pembroke, Ont. 



I find Recreation improving with age. I admire the 

 stand you take, in regard to the game hogs, and the pro- 

 tection of all kinds of game. May success crown your 

 efforts. A. L. Gutheil, Winchester, Ind. 



Nearly every sportsman, when shown a copy of Recrea- 

 tion, says " Yes, put my name down. Here's a dollar." I 

 find it is no work at all to get the subscribers. 



Thomas Perry, Jr., Middletown, N. Y. 



Recreation is by far the best sportsman's magazine I 

 ever read. I wish it were published weekly, instead of 

 monthly. It is filling a long felt want. 



R. C. Fisk, Helena, Mont. 



Your magazine grows more interesting, from month to 

 month. Roast the butchers. 



L. D. von Iffland, Cowansville, P. Q. 



Take the world but give me Recreation. All other joys 

 are but a sham compared with this magazine. 



Clarence Soule, Marengo, Mich. 



Scarcely a day passes but that I hear some one put in a 

 good word for Recreation. 



Lloyd Jones, Marshfield, Wis. 



Enclosed find $1 to renew my subscription. Can't do 

 without Recreation. Best book out. 



B. E. Campbell, Chicopee Falls, Mass. 



I like Recreation, very much, and appreciate the 

 courteous treatment I have received from the publisher. 

 L. H. Dodge, Cape Vincent, N. Y. 



Of all sportsmen's magazines I have ever seen, Recrea- 

 tion is the handsomest, most interesting, and instructive. 

 Oran R. Akers, Sherman, Tex. 



Recreation the best sportsman's journal published. I 

 read several sportsmen's papers, but find none so interesting 

 as Recreation. > H. C. Kurtasch, North Hudson, Wis. 



I am delighted with Recreation, for it fills the bill. Any- 

 one who would wish more for $1 must be classified with 

 the game hogs. Ferdinand Beck, Virginia City, Nev. 



I could not take a vacation that I would enjoy more, or one 

 that would cost less, than to peruse each issue of Recrea- 

 tion. J. G. Tobey, Portsmouth, N. H. 



My father takes other sportsmen's papers but always 

 wants to see mine first. He thinks Recreation the best. 



C. H. Smith, N. Y. City. 



I like your magazine better than any of the 25 cent ones. 

 Alan H. Stevens, Detroit, Mich. 



Recreation is the brightest and cleanest thing of its 

 kind I know of. E. F. McLean, Newburyport, Mass. 



Recreation is the best magazine of its kind I have seen. 

 Horatio F. Nichols, Boston, Mass. 



All who see and read Recreation are delighted with it. 

 L. C. Trout, Staunton, Ind. 



Recreation is the best magazine out, at any price. 



Lester Martin, Lewiston, Idaho. 



You publish the most interesting magazine of its class. 

 C. H. Calkins, Daisy, Tenn. 



Recreation the best magazine on earth. 



J. E. Meeker, Chanute, Kan. 



Recreation is a peach. G. Morton, Augusta, Me.
