RECREA TION. 



What's 

 the Use 



of walking when you 

 can get a first-class, high- 

 grade bicycle for nothing? 



How? 



By getting 75 subscriptions for 



Recreation 



If you live in a town of 3,000 

 or more, and if you are a hustler 

 you can get these in 2 days. 



I can give you the names of 20 

 people who did this in J 896, and 

 who now have their wheels. 



Write for particulars.

I want to tell you where I saw my first 

 copy of Recreation. It was in the pump 

 station of No. 1 shaft, in the famous Drum 

 Lummond of this town, the largest gold 

 quartz mine in the world. It was at the 

 1,600 foot level — farther ii, the bowels of 

 the earth than you probably thought Rec- 

 reation would ever get.
