RECREATION. 



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 \ 896, and 

 who now have their wheels* 



"Write for particulars.

The Gramophone you gave me, for 25 

 subscribers, came to-day and I am de- 

 lighted with it. It is the best instrument 

 of the kind I ever saw. I appreciate your 

 kindness in hurrying it along. When I 

 started out to get the club I had no idea I 

 could get so many, but just thought I 

 would, see what I could do; and to my 

 great surprise in less than a week I had 

 the 25. Will try, when away from here, to 

 get others interested in getting up clubs. 

 Again let me thank you for the Gramo- 

 phone.

We have named our summer cottage, on 

 Triangular lake, Recreation Lodge, and 

 will soon send you a photograph of it.

I appreciate the honor you confer on the 

 magazine, by naming your cottage for it, 

 and have sent a flag bearing the name of 

 your summer home. — Editor.
