PUBLISHER'S DEPARTMENT. 



Mr. J. H. Barlow, manager of the Ideal 

 Manufacturing Co., New Haven, Ct., sends 

 out a circular to the Sporting Goods Trade 

 in which he announces the mailing of the 

 Co.'s Hand-Book, No. 9. This line of arms,, 

 ammunition and tools is fast becoming 

 complex and puzzling, on account of the 

 great increase in the varieties of ammuni- 

 tion for the various arms. Mistakes in or- 

 dering, or not understanding orders cor- 

 rectly, cause delay and extra expense, as 

 well as annoyance. Particularly is this so 

 on account of the similarity in the names 

 of calibres and weights of bullets for car- 

 tridges that are entirely different. It is 

 hoped the lessening of the possibility of 

 mistakes will be appreciated by dealers, and 

 by all shooters. 



The Ideal Implements are well known 

 wherever fire arms are used. They stand 

 on their own merits. Close attention to 

 the perfection of the various points that 

 are required to produce perfect work, has 

 made a reputation for these goods, second 

 to none. The makers are constantly on the 

 look-out for the requirements of the 

 shooter, presenting new and useful imple- 

 ments, from time to time, that are up to 

 date, thus bringing dealers and customers 

 into touch with the present. 



Write for the new Handbook, mention- 

 ing Recreation. 



The Marlin Arms Co., New Haven, 

 Conn., is always up to date, and always has 

 something interesting to offer sportsmen. 

 It has lately put out a new catalogue, that 

 contains a vast fund of valuable information 

 regarding new rifles, cartridges, re-loading 

 tools, sights, etc. Almost every rifle car- 

 tridge in the market, from the 22 short to 

 the long smokeless, is illustrated and dis- 

 cussed; and among other new features are 

 a number of reproductions of targets, made 

 with these new rifles and the new ammuni- 

 tion, at various distances and under various 

 conditions. There are a lot of cuts of new 

 bullets, separate from the shell, showing 

 methods of inside and outside lubrication, 

 of front cavities, for imparting the express 

 feature, that are exceedingly interesting. 

 There is a discussion of the manufacture of 

 gun barrel steel that will interest every rifle- 

 man who has any mechanical or scientific 

 turn of mind. 



Every reader of Recreation should have 

 one of these new catalogues, and in asking 

 for it should mention this magazine.
