WHAT THEY SAY OF IT. 



_ I have taken nearly every sportsmen's paper and maga- 

 zine published, and I never saw the equal of Recreation, 

 nor ever expect to. How any lover of rod or gun can do 

 without it is a mystery to me. Long may you live ! 



W. H. Reightmyer, Richmondville, N. Y. 



Enclosed please find $1 to renew my subscription for your 

 magazine. It is worth double. Contains more information 

 regarding hunting, fishing, and everything pertaining to 

 guns, rods, tackle, etc.. than any periodical I take. 



C. R. Richards, Rochester, N. Y. 



I take several sportsmen's journals but like Recreation 

 best of all. Carl Mcllrath, Cleveland, O. 



There is a great difference between a sport and a sports- 

 man, and I have yet to find a sportsman who does not say 

 Recreation is the cleanest and most up-to-date journal 

 published. E. K. Lent, Otsego, Mich. 



What will Recreation get to be, if it keeps on improv- 

 ing ? It is a sportsmen's encyclopaedia now. 



J. V. Burr, Fort Dodge, la. 



I like your magazine very much, and wish you great suc- 

 cess in your warfare against game hogs. 



J. T. Barry, Lawrenct, Mass. 



Recreation is far superior to other sportsmen's period- 

 icals I have been taking. 



J. W. Walker, Gerrardstown, W. Va.
