‘camp companion I have ever seen and

I do not care to give summer resorts 
free advertising unless they use some of 
the other kind of space in RECREATION, 
but the following, quoted from a circular 
issued by the manager of Kabekona Camp, 
Pine River, Minn., is so thoroughly in line 
with the teachings of RECREATION that it is 
proper to print it in this department. 
Kabekona’s creed of returning all fish to 
the water that cannot be used has been 
cheerfully complied with by all guests, and 
this camp wishes to be distinctly under- 
stood as not wanting the patronage of any 
one unwilling to live up to this rule. 
_ There is a valuable lesson here for hun- 
dreds of other resort keepers who en- 
courage their guests to make big “‘records” 
and then flaunt them in the faces of decent 
sportsmen, as advertising matter. 

Our ad in RECREATION has brought so 
many inquiries for our catalogue that our - 
large edition is exhausted and we have 
concluded to print another edition and to 
continue our ad. The second edition of 
our catalogue is ready and» we shall be 
glad to mail them to those of your readers 
who will favor us with their addresses. 
_ The readers of RECREATION prove most 
liberal buyers of our goods. Indeed, it 
‘is noticeable that they express their con- 
fidence in the advertisements that appear 
in your magazine. 
_ The results of our advertising in REc- 
-REATION have been very gratifying, but we 
are not entirely satisfied; we would like to 
put our catalogue in the hands of every 
one of your subscribers.

_ The Wilkes Barre gun I bought of the 
‘zi. H. Kiffe Co. is certainly a beauty and, 
judging from a one-half hour’s trial, it 
‘shoots as well as it looks. But that is by 
the way. Good guns are common; more so, 
I fear, than good gundealers. Living in the 
wilds of Westchester I do most of my buy- 
g through the mails. On more than one 
sion my faith in the innate goodness of 
kind has been staggered by the receipt 
_ imperfect, shop-worn or substituted 
goc _If any fellow backwoodsman has 
hhad a like experience, I advise him to try 
the H. H. Kiffe Co., 523 Broadway, New 
‘York. He will get just what he asks for, if 
it is on the earth, and his hair will not 
turn grey while waiting for it either.

TRADE NOTES. 65 
The Lefever hammerless shotgun you 
sent me is at hand. Please accept my sin- 
cere thanks. The gun is a beauty and is 
exactly as I ordered. I have tried it and it 
is a splendid shooter. I can hardly realize 
how I became possessed of so valuable a 
gun; it was so little trouble to get the 60 
subscribers. Now when our club has a 
shoot I step to the score with the satisfac- 
tion of knowing that no one shoots a bet- 
ter gun than I. Success to RECREATION.

J. J. Tomlinson, Syracuse, N. Y., who 
makes the Tomlinson gun cleaner, writes 
me that he has received and filled orders for 
same, which mention RECREATION and 
which come from England, Russia, France, 
Austria, Switzerland, Newfoundland, 
Prince Edward’s Island, Mexico, British 
Columbia and Hawaii. This shows the 
wide circulation of this magazine and that 
its readers appreciate a good thing when 
thev see it announced. 

The Shattock gun received O.K. and 
am much pleased with it. So is every one 
who has seen it. It hangs well and is well 
made. Thank you very much for it; also 
for the Bristol rod you sent me last spring. 
It is the best rod I ever saw. It is the 
easiest to stretch a cast and will put a fly 
the farthest of any rod I ever used. I 
landed several large trout and some big 
pike and bass last season.

Dear Sir: I gain enclose you draft for 
$10, for which kindly send me another 
Shakespeare reel, style “C.” This is for 
another friend who has seen mine and who 
thinks he knows a good thing when he sees 
it. J am very much in love with your reel. 
respectfully,

RECREATION is simply immense. 
Nothing delights me more than to hunt 
and fish, except to get such reading matter. 
It is delightful and one can so much enjoy 
it that he forgets all his other duties until 
he finishes. Herewith money order for an- 
other year’s subscription.

I receive more than twice as many in- 
quiries from my ad. in RECREATION as I 
do from the one in Outing.
