Crimped-Crust" Bread 



Baked, in shops mod- 

 els in. equipment to se- 

 cure perfect cleanli- 

 ness, by a process that 

 retains all the richness 

 and sweetness of the 

 materials used, it makes 

 a most delicious bread. 

 To emphasize these 

 qualities it's wrapped 

 in clean white tissue. 

 Get the genuine. For 

 2 cents we send sample loaf and the shop's ad- 

 dress that'll serve you.

I am pleased to note your rapidly growing circulation. 

 My newsdealer says he orders more copies of Recreation 

 every month, yet they are the first to sell out of stock, in 

 spite of the increasing orders. Don't be afraid to enlarge 

 your editions. There is slight danger of overdoing it now. 

 Sail in hard ; you have a winning game. 



H. S. Garfield, M.D., Pendleton, Ore. 



It is nearly time to renew my subscription and I must do 

 so, even though I do without something else. Allow me 

 the expression " You were on to your job" when you sent 

 me a year's subscription for solving a puzzle. I have since 

 indulged in Recreation to excess and must either take 

 the gold cure or continue indulging. / 



W. W. Coleman, Carson City, Nev. 



My friends and I think Recreation the best periodical 

 of its kind published. I have taken it ever since you started 

 it, with the exception of the first 3 numbers. I travel a 

 great deal and often buy 2 or 3 copies a month, as I find it 

 too hard to resist showing a new acquaintance what he can 

 get for one bone a year. 



Chas. F. Riordan, Boston, Mass. 



I am short your valuable magazine for the month of 

 September, 1897. That copy was stolen during my ab- 

 sence but I can not blame the thief much, for Recreation 

 is tempting enough to make any one steal it. I am a friend 

 to Recreation and an enemy to game hogs. 



H. R. Cole, Kingman, Col. 



I get more genuine pleasure from one copy of Recrea- 

 tion than I do from a dollar's worth of any other magazine 

 I know of, and I think I've seen them all. You may 

 always count on my subscription, even if you should put 

 the price up to $5. E. F. Pope, Colmesneil, Tex. 



I see the Stevens Arms Co. is again advertising with you, 

 and I wish to know how many subscriptions it will take to 

 get a Stevens Favorite rifle. I wish one very much, be- 

 cause they are like Recreation : never a poor one put on 

 the market. H. A. Fitts, Iowa Falls, la. 



To oblige a young friend I became a subscriber to 

 Recreation and" I am pleased to say the obligation is 

 reversed, though I am not a sportsman myself. I can not 

 see how you can provide such a splendid periodical at the 

 price. A. F. Low, Scranton, Pa. 



I think more of Recreation every month. Am a regu- 

 lar subscriber through our local dealer, but I usually have 

 to buy an extra copy each month, as mine goes into the 

 family first, and then to the neighbors. 



Dr. J. E. Miller, Aspen, Col. 



Enclosed find $1, for which renew my subscription to 

 Recreation. I can not do without that beautiful maga- 

 zine. It is worth double the price it costs me: Each copy 

 is better than preceding ones. 



Arthur J. Thompson, Pasadena, Cal. 



I am a constant reader of Recreation. It becomes 

 more interesting to me every day. I read every word in it 

 and like very much the way you treat the piggies. 



W. F. Stevens, Grand Rapids, Mich.

I have but lately become acquainted with Recreation. 

 Don't know where I have been for some time past, but we 

 are now the warmest of friends. Only last Friday I started 

 to take subscriptions and to-day, Friday, finds my list of 35 

 complete. C. C. Campbell, Redheld, S. Dak. 



Enclosed find $15 tor 15 subscriptions. I received the 

 sample copies yesterday at noon and had my club made 

 up at 8 o'clock this morning. Recreation does its own 

 talking. Gus Kirby, East Helena, Mont.
