 Co., in Broadway, New York: 



"The members of the Asbury Park Gun 

 Club are using your ' 3 in 1 ' compound for guns,

A friend sent me a copy of Recreation, which 

 I have read with great pleasure. Here is my 

 dollar. A man who has neither hunted nor fished 

 knows little of nature ; and when he reaches the 

 happy hunting grounds, in the sweet bye and 

 bye, he will be a very ordinary saint.
