WHAT THEY SAY OF THE PREMIUMS. 

 I received the gun cabinet from the West 

 End Furniture Co., Williamsport, Pa., and 

 cannot find words to express my delight 

 and satisfaction with this beautiful present. 

 It is a fine piece of furniture and for con- 

 venience it is simply a marvel. Some of 

 our boys called to see it and it would have 

 done you good to have seen the expression 

 on their faces at the sight of such a treasure. 

 L. Van Vleck, Waterloo, la. 



I thank you for the Baby Wizard camera 

 which you so kindly had sent me as premi- 

 um for club. It is all the manufacturers 

 claim for it and more. Everyone says, 

 " What an elegant camera and where did 

 you get it?" As I tell them I add, " Go 

 and do likewise." 



A. H. Morey, Chelsea, Vt. 



I received the Forehand revolver you 

 ordered for me. Every person to whom I 

 have shown it thinks it a beauty and they 

 cannot see how you can give such valuable 

 premiums. I can't call it anything but a 

 present. 



R. Johnston, Allegheny City, Pa. 



I received the Winchester pump gun, '97 

 model, that you sent me for 40 subscrip- 

 tions, and am more than pleased with it. I 

 have been using Winchester guns for 2 

 years, and find them among the best and 

 hardest shooting guns in the market. 



C. J. Oeffner, Alliance, O. 



Please accept my thanks for the Syracuse 

 gun you sent me as premium for my club 

 of subscribers. Am well satisfied with both 

 the balance and the shooting qualities. It 

 fully meets my expectations and I am more 

 than pleased with it. 



Mrs. E. K. Airey, Binghamton, N. Y. 



The Abercrombie waterproof tent re- 

 ceived O. K. and is all the name implies. 

 Everyone says it is the finest tent he ever 

 saw. It is very light and is absolutely 

 waterproof. 



R. H. Oliver, Glenns Ferry, Idaho. 



I received the bicycle from the Clipper 

 people. It is a beautiful wheel, and every 

 one says it is the best in town. I shall take 

 great pleasure in telling my friends where 

 they can get a good wheel. 



B. W. Allen, Livingston, Mont. 



The Stevens rifle which you sent me as 

 premium for subscribers has arrived. Like 

 Recreation it is the best of its class. I 

 thank you for such a valuable premium for 

 so little work. 



Charles K. Rankin, Du Bois, Pa. 



I received the gramophone, which is su- 

 perior in all respects to any other sound 

 producing instrument I ever heard, and I 

 have heard a great many different kinds. 

 Robert Leidig, Vandalia, 111, 



The Kenwood cape arrived O. K. and I 

 am more than pleased with it. We had a 

 regular blizzard Saturday, and I wore it. 

 It fills the bill all right. I expect to use it 

 next fall when watching the runway for 

 deer. S. M. Eaton, Watertown, Wis. 



The Ithaca gun earned by a club of new 

 subscribers to Recreation was received 

 O. K. Am highly pleased with the beauti- 

 ful present and cannot see how you can 

 give such liberal premiums. 



Jno. A. Baker, Ripon, Wis. 



The Forehand gun came to hand to-day 

 and it is a beauty. I extend to you my sin- 

 cere thanks, as well as my son's, who is 

 now in his glory. 



Frank M. Hamel, Springfield, Mo. 



My camera arrived promptly and I thank 

 you and the Eastman Kodak Co. The way 

 you do business is simply splendid. The 

 camera looks well and works well. 



H. Stopford, Fredericton, N. B. 



The Lefever gun reached me promptly 

 and I am highly pleased with the little beau- 

 ty. The weight is just right. Please accept 

 my hearty thanks for your liberality. 



L. L. Henderson, Boston, Mass. 



I received the Syracuse gun and it is sat- 

 isfactory in every respect. Please accept 

 my sincere thanks for it. 



N. Schirrler, Brilliant, O. 



I received the Stevens Ideal Rifle all 

 right. It is a beauty and its shooting qual- 

 ities are all I could desire. 



C. G. Kawaga, Hepler, Kans. 



The Adlake camera you sent me for 15 

 subscribers to Recreation came to hand 

 promptly. I am more than pleased with it. 

 P. Carnahan, Carthage, Mo. 



I am highly pleased with " The Big Game 

 of North America " you sent me as a club 

 premium. 



C. H. Little, Merriam, Neb. 



Let me thank you for the beautiful watch 

 you sent me for a club of subscribers to 

 Recreation. 



Charles Garlets, Mongo, Ind. 



Bicycle camera received O. K. from the 

 Gundlach Optical Co. It is a beauty. 

 Many thanks. 



I. D. Van Wagonen, Greenwich, N. Y. 



I received the Clipper bicycle. It is a 

 beauty. Accept my sincere thanks. 



H. J. Shields, London, Ontario,
