ENOUGH TO FENCE IN THE EARTH. 



The Page Woven Wire Fence Company, 

 Adrian, Mich., is sending out a new illus- 

 trated catalogue which shows many styles 

 of their fences, and contains much valuable 

 information about setting end and anchor 

 posts. The cut of the factory gives one 

 a good idea of the magnitude of these 

 great works. This Company makes and 

 sells, annually, more woven wire fence than 

 all other similar works combined. Their 

 fence is the standard, and is used in almost 

 every country on the earth. They have, 

 within the last 5 years, made enough fence 

 to entirely encircle the earth, 12 wires high. 

 This means that they have made over 500,- 

 000 miles of wire. Every person interested 

 in game preservation should have a copy 

 of this catalogue. When asking for it men- 

 tion Recreation. 



A GOOD CIGAR. 



There is recreation and solid comfort in 

 smoking a good cigar. It is not necessary 

 to smoke a poor one, or to pay an exorbi- 

 tant price for a good one, when a cigar fac- 

 tory of the reputation that Julius Alvarez & 

 Co., Allentown, Pa., enjoy, for their pro- 

 duct, will ship genuine hand made Havana 

 cigars direct to smokers, at factory prices. 

 They make as fine a cigar as can be pro- 

 duced, of selected and well cured tobacco, 

 especially Havana. They use no flavoring 

 substances which others often substitute for 

 good stock. 



This firm is constantly receiving large or- 

 ders from thousands of smokers, prominent 

 clubs, etc., all over this country, and the 

 many flattering letters, and duplicate orders 

 they receive prove that their goods give 

 entire satisfaction. 



Accept my thanks for the valuable little 

 Syracuse hammerless gun. It came 

 promptly, and if it had taken 80 subscrib- 

 ers, instead of 40, I could have earned it 

 easily. Every true sportsman's eye spar- 

 kles when you lay an open copy of Recrea- 

 tion before him. 



The shooting qualities of the Syracuse 

 gun, and its neat appearance, cannot be 

 beaten by any gun I ever saw, for the 

 money. Recreation will always have a 

 place in my home. 



Charles L. Bigart, Dunmore, Pa. 



The summer is approaching. You will 

 soon want a tent. You can get it by send- 

 ing in a club of subscribers for Recrea- 

 tion. Full particulars on application. 



RHEUMATISM AND LA GRIPPE. 



" 5 Drops " is a remedy for rheumatism, 

 neuralgia, catarrh, la grippe and kindred 

 ailments. The manufacturers of " 5 Drops" 

 have many letters from those restored to 

 health, of which the following is a sample: 



Paris, Texas, Jan. 9, 1898. 

 Swanson Rheumatic Cure Co., Chicago 

 Gentlemen: — I write to accept the agency 

 for your medicines. Will send you the 

 amount mentioned in your letter, and please 

 send me the remedies to begin with. I have 

 some orders already. Please send as soon 

 as you can. With many thanks to you and 

 God, I am enjoying better health than I 

 have for years. I feel as if I am spared to 

 do some one else good now. Yours truly, 



Mrs. M. J. Jayroe. 



During the next 30 days the company 

 will send out 100,000 sample bottles, for 25 

 cents a bottle. From the past they know 

 that even a sample bottle will convince one 

 of the merits of " 5 Drops." Not sold by 

 druggists — only by us or our agents. 

 Agents wanted. Write the Swanson Rheu- 

 matic Cure Co., 167 Dearborn street, Chi- 

 cago, 111. This company is reliable and 

 promptly fills every order. 



Have just received the Pease piano you 

 sent as a premium for a club of sub- 

 scribers to Recreation. The case is a 

 lovely one, tone splendid and the action all 

 one could wish for. I am very much 

 pleased with it and thank you heartily for 

 enabling me to get such an excellent instru- 

 ment so easily. I feel amply paid for my 

 work on Recreation and shall continue to 

 work for its success. 



Elsie Bristow Cornell, Knoxville, la. 



The Gramophone, which you gave me for 

 25 subscriptions, received and I am well 

 pleased. I don't see how on earth you can 

 give such valuable premiums. 



Recreation is the best sportsmen's mag- 

 azine I have ever seen, and every one of my 

 club is well pleased with it. Especially is 

 this true of your fight on the game hogs. 



I won't lose a chance to speak a good 

 word for Recreation and its editor. 



Robert H. Searcy, Eufaula, I. T. 



I have read the book, " The Man Who 

 Became a Savage," and it is the best thing 

 I have found, for many a day. I thank you 

 very much for it. It is Worth the $1.50 

 alone, to say nothing of Recreation, which 

 is worth the $1.50 also.
