RECREATION. 



WHAT THEY SAY OF IT. 



Herewith I enclose check for $7.00 and list of seven 

 subscribers. Please send me " The Big Game of North 

 America." I prefer your books to guns and rifles. 

 The end is not yet. Shall send you some more names 

 soon. I carry a sample copy of Recreation in my 

 pocket all the time and show it whenever I have a 

 chance. Shall have my copies bound for my library 

 where I can get it if I have the blues. It will soon 

 drive them away. 



C. L. Macomber, Worcester, Mass. 



7.00, for which send 

 following personal 



Please find enclosed check for % 

 Recreation one year to the 

 friends of mine. ' 



I have read your magazine for six months and think 

 it the best one in America. I showed some copies to 

 the boys one evening and these seven asked me to 

 send in their names at once. I think it just the journal 

 for lovers of sport. 



C. A. Corey, Westfield, Wis. 



The nearest approach to an outing in the hills or by 

 the brook is to read Recreation. The greatest fault 

 I find with it is that it doesn't come often enough. It 

 should be a weekly. I should prefer to have it a daily. 

 I begin at the front cover, read it through, and then 

 read it backwards— covers and all. 



Chas. J. Halpen, Haverhill, Mass. 



Saw first copy Recreation last night. Can't resist 

 addingit tomylistof sportsmen's papers. I think it is 



trand. Every man, boy, girl and woman in the 

 Inited States ought to read it. I showed it to two 

 friends this evening. They think as I do, and want it, 

 for which I enclose $3.00. 



Dr. E. J. Miller, Scotland, S. Dak. 



I have read Recreation regularly, beginning with 

 the first number. It is the neatest and pleasantest 

 little magazine I have ever read. Its name is very 

 appropriate. Even the advertisements are by no means 

 dry reading. Enclosed please find $1.00 for year's sub- 

 scription for one of my friends. 



W. C. Kendall, Schooner " Grampus," 



Gloucester, Mass. 



After reading the first numbers of Recreation I 

 can't resist the temptation to subscribe for it, though 

 already pretty well supplied with this kind of literature. 

 To me such a magazine as Recreation is simply 

 irresistible. Coquina, I wish you such success as 

 your labors deserve. 



-John O'Kane, Van Buren, Ark. 



Have received a copy of Recreation and as I 

 glanced over its pages my interest was awakened to 

 know more of its contents. After reading several 

 articles I am surprised that you can furnish such an 

 interesting and tastefully arranged magazine for so 

 little money. It is rightly named, and I wish you suc- 

 cess in its publication. 



M. G. Hull, Newark, 111. 



Enclosed find one dollar, for which please send 

 Recreation to the address of my friend, given below, 

 beginning with the first number. Long live Recrea- 

 tion' I am a friend to it always. 1 do not know of 

 a more suitable present to make a brother sportsman 

 than Recreation. 



W. S. Cleveland. 



I have read a copy of Recreation with great in- 

 terest and desire to express my high opinion of it. It 

 deserves the support of all lovers of true sport. I own 

 part of your publications, have read more of them, 

 and have never failed to be pleased with your writ- 

 ings. Best wishes for your abundant success. 



W. H. Hollis. Tacoma, Wash. 



Herewith $1.00 for subscription to Recreation. 

 It is the best sportsman's journal published, at any 

 price, and all the fraternity have been glad to note its 

 phenomenal and deserved growth. 



E. A. Jackson, New York. 



A friend gave me a copy of Recreation last week, 

 and I was so taken up with its delightful stories that 

 I at once had a newsdealer get me copies of the back 

 numbers. I take two sportsmen's magazines, but like 

 Recreation the best. Please find enclosed $1.00 for 

 a year's subscription. 



J. Harry Thomas, Canton, Mich. 



Allow me to congratulate you on the great success, 

 which is apparent to everybody, of your magazine. 

 I want to say, personally, that this success has 

 come because it has been fairly earned. 



Stanley Waterloo, Chicago. 



The copy of Recreation reached me safe, and to 

 say that I am pleased with it is a very mild way of 

 mtting it. It is immense, and I enclose my check 

 or a year's subscription. 



F. C. Kinney, M.D., Greensboro, Vt.

Please send me Recreation. I have never seen 

 it, but I am familiar with "Coquina," having often 

 read articles by him in the sportsmen's papers. 1 re- 

 cognize him as a kindred spirit. Long may he live 

 and prosper, is the earnest wish of 



Geo. W. Moriarty, Opelousas, La. 



A friend of mine brought me a sample copy of Re- 

 creation, and I must say that the quality of the 

 articles, as well as the handsome manner in which the 

 magazine is gotten up, surpasses anything of its class 

 I have ever seen. 



Paul L. Mottelay, New York. 



I have to-day received the June number of Recrea- 

 tion and congratulate you on the beauty and merit 

 of the magazine. If the excellent quality is maintained 

 it must be a success in every way. 



M. K. Barnum, North Platte, Neb. 



I appreciate Recreation more than I can say. It 

 fills a long felt want, especially in this season of 

 the year, when I am unable to get away from my du- 

 ties long enough to burn any powder. 



Fred. W. Kreidler, Miles City, Mont. 



The Davenport rifle which you sent me, for a club 

 of 10 subscribers to Recreation, is at hand, and is 

 a beauty. I am more than pleased with it. 



Chas. B. Long, Lancaster, Pa. 



Enclosed find one dollar for which please send me 

 Recreation for one year. Your magazine is fine. 

 One needs only to see a sample copy of it in order to 

 become a subscriber. 



L. W. Earle, Tomah, Wis. 



Recreation is the finest magazine I ever read. 

 Everyone seems delighted with it as soon as he has 

 looked at it. 



M. Phillips, Glover, Vt. 



Your magazine is beautiful. How can you afford to 

 give so much for so little ? 



• Samuel C. Clarke, Marietta, Ga. 



I received the copies of Recreation to-day and am 

 greatly pleased with them. 1 think this is the best 

 magazine of its class I have ever seen. 



Wm. Percival, Clinton, N. Y. 



I consider Recreation far ahead of any other pub- 

 lication of its class. 



M. A. Bates, Star, Idaho. 



Am much pleased with Recreation. I think it 

 more entertaining than any of its class. 



E. T. Johnson. 



Recreation is a sparkling gem of the first water. 

 J. H. Wheeler, Newburyport, Mass. 



Recreation is grand and improves with every 

 number. A. Howard.
