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 

 of 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,

HOW THE NATURE PHOTOS APPEAL TO 

 THE LITTLE FOLKS. 



You have many expressing their high ap- 

 preciation of your most excellent magazine, 

 and I agree with all that has been said in its 

 favor. I want to tell you how much good 

 it is doing in a way different from the 

 sportsman's view. My daughter is engaged 

 in kindergarten work. One of the great 

 objects taught is in regard to animal life. 

 Here is where Recreation comes in. The 

 articles " Hunting with a Camera " are es- 

 pecially applicable to this work. My 

 daughter takes the book to her school, tells 

 the little ones all about the pictures, and 

 about the birds and animals shown. It 

 would do you good to see the little tots, as 

 they hear and see what Recreation says. 

 They do not forget it. From this they learn 

 to love and care for the birds and animals, 

 and it inspires them to love and protect 

 them, instead of trying to destroy them. 

 No danger of any of these little ones ever 

 becoming game hogs. 



D. W. S., Dayton, O. 



I want the names of all the gun clubs in 

 the U. S. and Canada, and the names and 

 addresses of the Secretaries thereof. Read- 

 ers of Recreation will do me a valuable 

 service by kindly giving me such infor- 

 mation.
