 D. W. Cree, Griggsville, 111. 



Dear Sir: — We greatly enjoyed the 

 Common Sense camp stove got of you 

 this spring. We camped at Lake Senach- 

 wine and part of the time had disagree- 

 able weather, but we had no trouble to 

 keep perfectly comfortable. The stove is 

 a fine cooker, in both the oven and on 

 top. As I had my family with me we 

 appreciated the fact that it is much pleas- 

 anter and cleaner to cook on a stove with 

 no smoke to bother us: than over a camp 

 fire. In many places here fuel is scarce, 

 and this stove is economical of fuel. The 

 longer we used it the better we liked it. 

 I have camped in Montana, Wyoming, 

 Colorado, Wisconsin and Illinois. Thanks 

 for promptness in shipping.

Mr. William M. Cornwall, of 265 Broad- 

 way, New York, is in a position to fur- 

 nish sportsmen with any article they may 

 need in the way of guns, ammunition, 

 fishing tackle, or camp equipment, at 

 manufacturers' prices, and in many in- 

 stances below. He has been doing busi- 

 ness with Recreation readers so long 

 that thouands of them know him and are 

 ready to recommend him to others. This 

 is 1 to assure the others that if they en- 

 trust orders to Mr. Cornwall their in- 

 terests will have prompt and careful at- 

 tention. 



He mm & Woodward, Sidney, Ohio, are 

 making a series of what they call wick 

 plugs for preserving guns. The wick is 

 made of such a size as to fit snugly in a 

 gun of any gauge from 16 to 8. The wick 

 is to be thoroughly saturated in any good 

 oil or gun grease and then drawn into the 

 gun, filling the barrel tightly from breech 

 to muzzle. The wick may be left in the 

 gun a year, if need be, and the makers 

 claim that it is impossible for the barrel 

 to rust while it is there. If interested 

 send for circular, and mention Recrea- 

 tion. 



The University Chemical Company, 

 Morris Heights. N. Y., is making a mos- 

 quito lotion with which it will be well for 

 every camper to arm himself. It is made 

 of several different chemicals that have 

 been found most efficient for keeping off 



mosquitoes, black flies and gnats, and I 

 have no doubt it will be successful. It is 

 put up in crushable tubes, so you can take 

 out what you want each time, screw the 

 top on and save the rest for future refer- 

 ence. Descriptive circular on application. 

 Please mention Recreation. 



Mr. J. W. Schreiber, of Titusville, Pa., 

 has sent me, within the last 30 days, 220 

 subscriptions for Recreation, and has re- 

 ceived as a premium a naphtha launch, 

 built by the Racine Boat Mfg. Co., 

 of Racine, Wis. Almost any man or boy 

 can afford to have a naphtha launch if he 

 can make his friends pay for it. Further- 

 more, if he gets it as Mr. Schreiber got 

 his, he does every one of his friends a 

 valuable service, for they will get $10 

 worth of information out of this magazine 

 within the year. 



Roulette, Pa. 

 Ed. W. Newcomb, New York. 



Dear Sir: — I bought a box of your im- 

 proved Non Halation Plate Backing and 

 have had remarkably good luck in get- 

 ting beautiful plates since using the 

 Backing. I certainly would not be with- 

 out it if it cost $10 a box. It is worth that 

 much any time if a person appreciates 

 good plates.

The Eastman Kodak Company has is- 

 sued a little book called "Pictures by 

 Flashlight." It is a primer, so to speak, 

 for amateur photographers who desire to 

 take up this most interesting and fascin- 

 ating branch of photography. The book 

 sells at 10 cents a copy, and if you have 

 any idea of going into the flashlight busi- 

 ness, I advise you to send for it. If you 

 do so, please mention Recreation. 



The Bridgeport Gun Implement Com- 

 pany, 315 Broadway, New York City, has 

 put out a beautiful catalogue of its golf 

 goods. It is so chuck full of valuable in- 

 formation, and of illustrations of all kinds 

 of golf goods, that I can not see how any 

 golf player can be happy without it. 



If you are interested in that game, write 

 for this booklet and say you saw it men- 

 tioned in Recreation. 



Henry L. Jespersen, of No. 10 Park 

 Place, New York, is the agent for the 

 Ithaca gun, of which he carries a full and 

 assorted stock. If any reader of Recrea- 

 tion wishes a gun I advise him to send 

 for Mr. Jespersen's handsome catalogue. 

 Mr. Jespersen gladly answers all questions 

 relative to gunning and angling, as he is 

 authority on those subjects.
