RECREATION. 



WHAT THEY SAY OF IT. 



Recreation has many warm friends 

 here, and deserves everyone's praise. Good 

 sportsmen's literature has been rare. Rec- 

 reation is setting the proper pace and will 

 no doubt find many imitators. I am glad 

 to have such a magazine at hand, to silence 

 the old-fogy cry of horror, at the mere 

 mention of the word " sport." It demon- 

 strates that true manly and womanly exer- 

 cise, recreation or sport, is not a hindrance 

 to a pure heart and mind; but rather a 

 stimulus. 



Don D. Connell, Knoxville, la. 



Recreation is just the thing with which to remember my 

 friends in the forest and on the plains. They will very near 

 eat it, advertisements and all. Here are 2 of their names, 

 and $2, to start with. 



Jesse Roberts, Chestnut Hill, Phila. 



I remit $1 ; please place the name of Carl Erickson, 



Dotsero, Eagle Co., Colo., on your list for one year. This 



came unsolicited, after a 5 minutes perusal of Recreation. 



It recommends itself more effectively than any agent could. 



L. D. Gilmore, Dotsero, Colo. 



The only thing I have against your book is that I can sit 

 down and read it, but can't take up my rifle, and go out and 

 have some of that sport; but of course, that is not your 

 fault. Samuel Williams, East Akron, O. 



I find Recreation all you claim for it. It keeps the 

 blood of a true sportsman in motion, same as the sight of a 

 big buck, on a frosty morning. 



Geo. C. Edgeter, Dayton, O. 



I must again compliment you on your splendid magazine. 

 Each number is better than the preceding one. I read it 

 all, from cover to cover, advertisements and all. 



S. M. Eaton, Watertown, Wis. 



Enclosed herewith find my renewal. Could not do with- 

 out Recreation if it cost double the price. I read it from 

 " Kiver to Kiver," quoting from Opie Reed. Success to 

 Recreation. Geo. H. Reynolds, Necedah, Wis. 



Your magazine keeps growing better and better. I can 

 hardly wait for it to come. Those pictures of the game 

 hogs and fish hogs are good. 



J. F. Gardella, 3 Varnum St., Haverhill, Mass. 



I have been a reader of your magazine for about 3 years, 

 and find it very interesting and entertaining. It is brimful 

 of good, wholesome reading matter. 



P. J. Blount, Atlanta, Ga. 



I have been buying Recreation ever since the first num- 

 ber was issued, and believe it the best magazine published, 

 in the sportsmen's line. W. C. Dierks, Butte, Mont. 



I like Recreation very much. Have no trouble at all to 

 get the sportsmen to subscribe for it. 



N. Peterson, Haywards, Calif. 



I am greatly pleased with Recreation. It is the best 

 magazine in America. 



Chas. E. Starrett, 59 N. Market St., Boston. 



I enjoy Recreation so much that I would not do without 

 it for any reasonable amount. 



S. Bradbury, Germantown, Pa. 



Recreation is the best magazine published. 



Harry L. Burns, Brooklyn, N. Y. 



I started out on Monday morning, and by Tuesday night 

 had 20 subscriptions. Samuel Williams, East Akron, O. 



Recreation is truly the best thing that ever happened. 

 Wyatt B. Hathaway, Chicopee Falls, Mass. 



It is with pleasure I send you the remaining subscriptions 

 to complete the club of 28 I have been working for. It was 

 a very easy matter to show the samples to a friend, and 

 the magazine did the rest. Those who have received Rec- 

 reation think it the finest thing out. 



W. P. Springer, Gouldsville, N. H. 



Received April number of Recreation, and must say it 

 beats all in its class. I saw your exhibit at the Sports- 

 men's Exposition, and it was as interesting as ever. I was 

 especially pleased with the exhibition of the mountain goats 

 and sheep, the first I had ever seen 



L. M. Taylor, New York. 



I am just recovering from a severe attack of pleuro- 

 pneumonia. The first day I was able to sit up Recreation 

 came to hand. It was the silver lining to the dark clouds 

 that had been lowering, or like the golden pane the setting 

 sun does just emblaze. 



D. C. Norman, Roseville, O. 



I take 5 different sportsmen's publications, and Recrea- 

 tion is the best, most newsy and brilliant of them all. Suc- 

 cess to your wish for 50,000 subscribers this year. Will help 

 all I can. Grant W. Humes, Harrisville, N. Y. 



I want to tell you how much I like Recreation. Mr. 

 Haney has been buying it from the news dealers, and we 

 both like it so much we have to pull straws to see which 

 shall read it first. Mrs. A. A. Haney, Ft. Worth, Tex. 



Your magazine is the best sportsman's book I ever read. 

 When I get it I soon read it through, and only wish it 

 would come daily instead of monthly. 



Ezra L. Roberts, Staunton, Mass. 



Having read Recreation 18 months, I consider it the 

 most energetic and growing sporting magazine I know of. 

 F. C. Merry, Pelham Manor, N. Y. 



Recreation grows better and better every month. It is 

 the best magazine I ever saw. No sportsman should be 

 without it. F. Edgar Brown, Brimfield, Mass. 



Your magazine is all that could be desired — and a little 

 more. It comes like a breath of fresh air in a city office. 

 Eugene A. Boylan, Lockport, 111. 



I like Recreation so well I thought I would get a few 

 subscriptions for you, so I started out this morning and got 

 10. F. C. Clark, Valley City, N. D. 



Recreation is without doubt the best publication of the 

 kind out. It improves with every issue. 



Dr. Chas. Young, Dewittville, N. Y. 



Recreation stands at the head of sportsmen's maga- 

 zines. It is par excellence. 



Wm. H. Rice, Boston, Mass. 



I receive Recreation regularly and enjoy it immensely, 

 but wish it came oftener. B. W. Rosenstine, Moline, 111. 



Recreation leaves all other sportsmen's papers in the 

 shade. B. Vreeland, New York City. 



Everybody in this city is pleased with Recreation. 



C. L. Amos, Syracuse, N. Y. 



We consider your magazine the best one we take. 



W. G. Solomon, Macon, Ga. 



Recreation is the best of its class of literature. 



Dr. D. D. Cornell, Knoxville, la. 



I cannot get along without Recreation. 



W. E. Briggs, Parkman, Me.
