RECREATION. 



JOIN THIS PROCESSION. 



I have received from the Davenport 

 Arms Co. the Elita shot, gun which Rec- 

 reation so kindly offers as a premium. It 

 is the handsomest single gun I ever saw 

 and its shooting qualities are far ahead of 

 many high priced double guns. Mrs. At- 

 wood, for whom I had the gun made, is 

 delighted with it and has already tried it 

 on a few clay pigeons. The Davenport 

 Arms Co. made a special effort to get it 

 ready so we could try it the 19th, which 

 was a holiday in Massachusetts, and it has 

 more than met our expectations. Thank 

 you for your promptness in sending order 

 to them and for the courteous manner in 

 which you have treated me. 



Geo. H. Atwood, Boston, Mass. 



I received the Abercrombie tent as pre- 

 mium for 25 subscriptions to Recreation, 

 and am delighted with it. There is not an- 

 other in Auburn that is to be compared 

 with mine. It beats them iin 40 ways. It is 

 a standing recommendation of Recreation, 

 its honest editor, and of Abercrombie & 

 Co. It more than repays me for the trouble 

 spent in securing the subscriptions, and I 

 thank you for your kind and upright treat- 

 ment. Harry Rhuland, Auburn, N. Y. 



The Laughlin fountain pen you sent me 

 as premium for 3 subscriptions to Recrea- 

 tion was duly received, and I am highly 

 delighted with it. I think it the best pen 

 I have ever used. -I recommend it to any 

 person wanting a 'first class pen, that never 

 fails but is always ready when he is. I 

 thank you for the pen and for your 

 promptness in sending it. 



A. H. G. Craft, Jamestown, N. Y. 



I received the Mullins Get There boat 

 you sent me for subscriptions to Recrea- 

 tion, gave it -a thorough trial and am 

 highly pleased with it. I have hunted ducks 

 25 years, and this boat is one of the grand- 

 est additions I have made to my outfit. 

 I thank you most cordially for sending 

 me such a fine present for so little work. 

 L. Van Vleck, Waterloo, Iowa. 



I received the Shakespeare reel sent me 

 as a premium for 15 subscriptions and am 

 well pleased with it. This reel is a fine 

 piece of machinery, and great credit should 

 be given Mr. Shakespeare for turning out 

 such a beautiful reel. I am surprised that 

 you can afford to give such valuable prizes 

 for so few subscriptions. 



G. M. Finkey, Augusta, Mich. 



Please accept my thanks for the Savage 

 rifle which you sent me for 40 subscrip- 

 tions. It arrived O. K. and I am much 

 surprised to find that you give such a val- 



uable premium for so little work as is 

 needed to get that number of subscribers. 

 Thank you for the square manner in which 

 you have treated me. 



R. C. Lillie, Mattoon, Wis. 



The Harrington & Richardson shot gun 

 you sent me as premium for subscriptions 

 to Recreation is received. Have tried it 

 and it has proved satisfactory in every par- 

 ticular. Am more than pleased with it. 

 I can not see how you can afford to give 

 such valuable premiums. 



Walter S. Shover, Ostrander, Ohio. 



Received the Recreation match box 

 you sent, and like it very much. There is 

 good canoeing here, but it is rough, and 

 one needs something to keep matches dry. 

 That match box is the best one I ever saw. 

 J. M. Kidd, Kingston, Canada. 



Your splendid premium reached me a few 

 days ago. The Horton rod is a beauty, and 

 worth twice the amount of time spent in 

 getting subscribers for your magazine. 

 Please accept my sincere thanks. 



A. J. Nack, Northfield, Vt. 



Accept my thanks for the Davenport gun 

 which you sent me for 5 subscriptions to 

 Recreation. It is a much more beautiful 

 gun than I expected, and I am much 

 pleased with it. 



Robert Kieffer, Fleetwood, Pa. 



I have received the Forehand gun you 

 sent me for a club. It is a beauty. Also 

 the gold watch. It is a good timekeeper, 

 and my wife is well pleased with the de- 

 sign of the case. M. Cook, Barre, Vt. 



The Wizard A' camera I secured last fall 

 as a premium for subscriptions to Recre- 

 ation is a beauty and I am much pleased 

 with the work it does. 



C. B. Newton, Omaha, Neb. 



I received the take down repeating rifle 

 you sent me for subscriptions to Recrea- 

 tion in good order, and am more than 

 pleased with it. 



H. L. McCloy, Philadelphia, Pa. 



Please accept my thanks for the biggest 

 prize I ever received for the same amount 

 of work, the Yawman & Erbe automatic 

 fishing reel. B. H. Mosher, Athol, Mass. 



Received the Marble pocket axe as pre- 

 mium, and think it is one of the hand- 

 somest little tools a man could have in 

 camp. Chas. Randall, Cincinnati, Ohio. 



I received the George Carpenter tent 

 all right. Please accept my thanks. I am 

 much pleased with it. 



Harry Davis, Gloversville, N. Y.
