W. A. BRODHEAD & SONS. 



Mr. C. E. Phillips, Carverton, Pa., writes 

 to the Davenport Arms Co. as follows : " Our 

 gun club recently held a clay bird shoot, at 

 which I broke 29 out of a possible 30 with a '94 

 Model, 12 gauge Davenport gun. The only 

 miss I made was owing to a faulty spring of the 

 trap. My score beat all the other guns in the 

 match, of whatever make or price." 



G. W. Cole & Co., 11 1 Broadway, New York, 

 make a lubricant for guns and other metal im- 

 plements, that is worthy the attention of all 

 sportsmen. I have been using it on some of my 

 old, back number guns that are badly rusted, 

 and on some of my good rifles. It cleans the 

 one and keeps the other clean. Furthermore 

 it is. long lived, retaining its hold on the metal 

 for weeks, in both damp and hot weather. Send 

 10 cents, get a sample and try it. It is called "3 

 in one." 



Henry Milward & Sons, 297 Broadway, 

 New York, say their advertisement in Recrea- 

 tion is bringing them orders for their inimitable 

 flies from all over the United States and terri- 

 tories, and from all parts of Canada. Subse- 

 quent mails bring from nearly every purchaser 

 the most flattering endorsements of these new 

 flies. If you have not tried them send for a 

 sample dozen, and see how they will entice the 

 wary big fellows from their hiding places. 



Subscribe to Recreation, $1.00 a year, 

 will find it a good investment. 



You 



The Marlin Arms Company is sending 

 out a new edition of its playing cards. They 

 are made of fine linen — in fact are such cards as 

 sell in the trade at 50 cents to 75 cents a pack — 

 yet the company sells these at 10 cents. It is a 

 good plan to take a pack of these when you go 

 into camp, so that you can play a game of 

 freeze-out at night, to see who shall get up and 

 get breakfast the next morning. 



I can never fail to think of you when I look at 

 my beautiful gun. I will confess that before I 

 received it, visions of mounted gas-pipes were 

 floating through my mind, but I wish to say 

 right here that the Hollenbeck is a beauty in 

 every respect, and I shall always feel myself your 

 debtor for sending me such an elegant premium 

 for the 35 subscriptions I sent you. 



E. A. Corey, Geneva, Ohio. 



G. W. Cole & Co., in Broadway, New 

 York, distributed 2000 sample bottles of their 

 3 in- 1 compound among the German riflemen at 

 Glendale Park, during the great Scheutzenbund. 

 It is safe to say that all the rifles used there will 

 be bright and clean for the next six months at 

 least. 



I want you to reach 20,000 circulation before 

 fall. If you do half as well in other places as 

 you have done in Elgin, you will have 40,000 

 subscribers by that time. 



Fred. M. Adams, Elgin, 111.
