I recently saw a notice posted on a tree 

 beside the highway which struck me as 

 being as remarkable as the famous tablet 

 discovered by Mr. Pickwick. 1 reproduce 

 it exactly as it appears on the board:

You will agree with me that the wayfar-

 "err therein."

A yearly subscription to Recreation is 

 one of the most practicable and useful 

 presents you could possibly give a man or 

 a boy ' who is interested in nature study, 

 fishing, hunting, or amateur photography. 



All boys instinctively love the woods. 

 Recreation teaches them to love and to 

 study the birds and the animals to be 

 found there. If you would have your son, 

 your brother, your husband, or your sweet- 

 heart interested in nature, let him read 

 Recreation. It costs only $1 a year, and 

 would make him happy 12 times a year. 



I received the Bristol steel rod, and am 

 well pleased with it.
