RECREATION. 



I have received a handsome and interest- 

 ing little book entitled, "Waterfowl alone: 

 the Wisconsin Central Railway," which 

 contains a great deal of interesting data 

 for sportsmen. It is illustrated with pic- 

 tures of many species of wild ducks and 

 geese, and the descriptive text is full and 

 complete. The book also contains a list 

 of the names of stations on the Central 

 where good shooting may be had, together 

 with the names of hotels and boarding 

 houses, rates charged by same, lakes and 

 streams in each vicinity, distance of each 

 from stations, etc. 



Copies of this pamphlet may be had 

 free by addressing J. C. Pond, G. P. A., 

 Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and mentioning 

 Recreation. 



The Natural Food Company, Niagara 

 Falls, N. Y., has issued a book entitled 

 "The Vital Question," which should be in 

 the hands of every woman interested in 

 providing pure and healthful food for a 

 family. These people make the Shredded 

 Wheat Biscuits, and in this book they tell 

 how to prepare them, and how to make 

 from them many delicious and inviting 

 dishes. The book is a work of art, all the 

 pictures being lithographed in colors, and 

 it is well worth the having. It will be 

 sent free to any woman who may ask for 

 it, and who will say she saw it mentioned 

 in Recreation. Please send for it and do 

 not forget to say where and how you 

 learned about it. 



The Wing Piano Co., No. 226 East 12th 

 street, New York, has demonstrated in a 

 practical way the value of honesty, energy, 

 and keen discrimination in the building up 

 of a great business. This house has been 

 in business nearly 50 years, and has a repu- 

 tation it may well feel proud of. Its great 

 business has been created by judicious ad- 

 vertising and by dealing fairly and honestly 

 with customers. I know several people 

 who have Wing pianos in their houses, and 

 who say they are fully up to the standard 

 of the oldest and best known instruments 

 in existence. If you have any idea of buy- 

 ing a piano, write Wing & Son and say you 

 saw their ad in Recreation. 



H. J. Putman & Co., 



Minneapolis, Minn. 

 Dear Sirs : 



The pair of boots, No. 678, which you 

 made for me last August, have proven 

 highly satisfactory. Thev have stood the 

 rough usage in this mountainous country 

 without any signs of wear, and are the best 

 boots for engineering work that I have ever 



worn. Their waterproof qualities are just 

 the thing for this climate. 

 Respectfully, 



J. M. Belknap, 

 Asst. Engr., U. S. Engr. Corps. 



The Conley Manufacturing Co., St. 

 Joseph, Mo., writes me it has discontinued 

 the use of rubberized duck for hunting 

 coats, because of certain objectionable 

 features that material has, and .that the 

 company has adopted instead the famous 

 English khaki cloth, the same as used bv 

 the War Department for army uniforms. 

 This material is practically noiseless in the 

 brush, is of lighter weight, is waterproof 

 and looks much better than the rubber- 

 ized duck. Samples sent free on receipt 

 of request, mentioning Recreation. 



F. C. Huyck & Sons, Albany, New York, 

 have issued a handsome little book describ- 

 ing and illustrating their steamer rugs, 

 sleigh rugs, automobile rugs, golf capes, 

 lap robes, etc. The pictures in this book 

 show how comfortable people may make 

 themselves, even in stormy weather, if pro- 

 vided with the right kind of goods; and 

 Huycks make the right kind. It would 

 pay you to have a copy of this little book, 

 and when you write for it, please say you 

 saw it mentioned in Recreation. 



Did you ever notice that all through the 

 hot weather Page fence did not sag be- 

 tween the posts? That is because all the 

 horizontal wires are coiled, or spiralled, so 

 they will let out and take up like a spring. 

 The wire must be a great deal tougher and 

 stronger than common Bessemer fence wire 

 to make a coiled spring. We make our 

 own wire because we have to use better 

 wire. Page Woven Wire Fence Co.,

The Edward Smith Indian Post Trad- 

 ing Company, of Flagstaff, Arizona, deal- 

 ers in Navajo blankets, Indian pottery, 

 baskets, curios, etc., with to engage several 

 energetic, enterprising men to act as agents 

 for their goods in Boston, New York, 

 Philadelphia and Washington. The present 

 great interest in Indian goods throughout 

 the country should make the sale of them 

 profitable and offer a good business oppor- 

 tunity. 



Penn Yan, N. Y. 

 West End Furniture Co. 



Dear Sirs — Your gun cabinet received 

 and we are much pleased with it. It is a 

 first class piece of furniture and speaks 

 well for your firm. 



Yours truly, 

 Mrs. Joel Egleston.
