X EC RE A TION. 



WHAT THEY SAY OF IT. 



Have received Recreation and it is as welcome as ever. 

 My little girl answered the postman's call and came running 

 to me saying, " Here, papa, is your Recreation," and sit- 

 ting down beside me she looked at the illustrations as ear- 

 nestly as an old sportsman. She is as glad to see Recrea- 

 tion as I am and always wants to look at all the pictures 

 before I can read anything. 



J. A. Richardson, Pittston, Pa. 



I have been a subscriber to Recreation for almost a 

 year and like it better every month. My brothers and sis- 

 ters- look for its coming as eagerly as I do. I never fail to 

 speak a good word for Recreation, but it doesn't need it, 

 it speaks for itself. You certainly give very handsome pre- 

 miums. We can't understand how you afford them. 



Thos. A. Sullivan, Worcester, Mass. 



I left with our bookbinder this a.m. Recreation from 

 the first issue to date, and am going to have them nicely 

 bound. I consider myself fortunate in having every copy, 

 and in years to come, when Recreation is the foremost 

 magazine of the world, I shall have a collection of reading 

 matter to be proud of. 



J. S. Stangroom, New Whatcom, Wash. 



I have but recently become a subscriber to Recreation 

 and regret I have missed so much in not having seen it ear- 

 lier. It is a mystery how you can publish such a journal at 

 the price. It will be a greater mystery if any lover of 

 sport once reads Recreation and does not subscribe for it. 

 Dr. F. L. Hinsdale, Salt Lake, Utah. 



I have all previous volumes of Recreation bound in Rus- 

 sia, and value highly the addition they make to my library. 

 Each number eclipses former ones, and we prize the maga- 

 zine greatly in my family. J. H. Ager, Lincoln, Neb. 



Enclosed you will find $i for the best sportsmen's maga- 

 zine I ever saw. Don't think it will be long before all peo- 

 ple who can read will take Recreation. Shall take it as 

 long as I am able. S. H. Wolfe, Chicago, 111. 



The boys all enjoy your fine magazine, and have promised 

 to subscribe. You may expect to hear from me later, as I 

 am anxious to have a gun like the one you sent Roy Gates. 

 It is a beauty. Howard Baxter, Oakland, Cal. 



I want to congratulate you on the publication of that 

 beautiful Recreation. With me it has become a household 

 necessity, and no lover of out-door sports can afford to be 

 without it. W. G. Alexander, Toledo, O. 



Recreation is well worth the money ; well written, pithy, 

 honest in most cases, and decidedly interesting. I shall try 

 hard to increase your circulation, as the magazine merits 

 support. Dr. H. Wallwin, Barrie, Ont. 



Please find. enclosed my $i for renewal to Recreation. 

 I find it interesting and newsy. Short, sharp, and to the 

 point every time. My brother and I can hardly wait for it. 

 Geo. J. Robinson, Irving, Ore. 



As I cannot do without Recreation, you will find en- 

 closed $i for renewal. The pointers on guns and ammuni- 

 tion are worth much more than the price of the magazine. 



B. D. Moses, Eaton, O. 



Selling Recreation is like taking pictures with a kodak. 

 You press the button, we do the rest; only with Recrea- 

 tion it is, you show Recreation, and it will do the rest. 

 Rob't Bennewitz, Wolcott, la. 



I don't see how anyone can do without Recreation after 

 taking it a year, or even after seeing one copy of it. I 

 know I cannot, and gladly send you $i for another year. 

 E. B. Murray, Denison, Tex. 



I like Recreation much better than some magazines for 

 which I have been paying four times as much. 



H. E. Bugbee, St. Augustine, Fla. 



T received the Premo D camera and think it a fine pre- 

 mium for so little work. Ray Gale, Denver, Colo. 



Recreation pleases all my friends who have subscribed 

 to it and I am sure they will renew when their year is up. 

 As for me I cannot say enough in praise of it. 



H. C. Gardiner, Buffalo, N. Y. 



I am a constant reader of your valuable and interesting 

 magazine, and my wife thinks there is nothing like it. She 

 enjoys it as much as I do, if not more. 



A. T. Hoyle, Oneonta, N. Y. 



I find Recreation in many places where there is a 

 scarcity of soap but not of men who use a rifle and read a 

 good magazine when they find one. 



G. H. Gregg, Moravia, N. Y. 



I can only echo what everyone is saying, that " Recrea- 

 tion is the greatest sportsmen's magazine in the country; 

 could not get along without it." 



A. J. Hutchinson, Brunswick, Me. 



Although not a sportsman I read Recreation with great 

 interest and with the regret that there is not more of it, or 

 that it does not come oftener. 



A. J. Hutchinson, Brunswick, Me. 



I find Recreation first class in every particular and a 

 welcome guest. I read it from cover to cover. Even the 

 advertising is interesting. 



J. B. Fitzgerald, Battle Mt., Nev. 



Please continue sending me Recreation for another 

 year for which I enclose $i. It is the best magazine of the 

 kind ever published. 



Louis Larson, St. Augustine, Fla. 



I received the Kenwood Sleeping Bag and am greatly 

 pleased with it. It is a beauty and is all the manufactur- 

 ers claim for it. 



J. S. Stangroom, New Whatcom, Wash. 



The Korona camera you sent me as premium has been 

 tried and works like a charm. Thank you for all the kind- 

 ness you have shown me. Harry Casler, Ithaca, N. Y. 



Recreation is the best cure I know for the blues. Every 

 sportsman ought not only to hunt for game but for sub- 

 scribers as well. -Clarence Soule, Marengo, Mich. 



Recreation is one of the favorite magazines in our read- 

 ing room files. 



Hugo von Hagen, Secy. Y. M. C. A., New York. 



The Marlin repeating rifle received and I am well pleased 

 with it. Everyone to whom I have shown it admires it 

 very much. C. R. Stewart, Kansas City, Mo. 



Your worst enemy, if honest, could speak only in the 

 highest terms of Recreation. There is no doubt of its 

 success. E. K. Hanley, Scranton, Pa. 



Accept my sincere thanks for the Monarch wheel which I 

 was able to get through your kindness. I am much pleased 

 with it. Miss Marie Schneider, Williamsport, Pa. 



The 2 Hawk- Eye Jr. cameras which you sent me as pre- 

 miums were received all right and give perfect satisfaction. 

 E. S. Robinson, Morrisville, Vt. 



Recreation is the best sportsmen's publication I ever 

 read. It is worth the money for its natural history alone. 

 John C. Law, Cleveland, O. 



I can not tell you how much I enjoy Recreation. The 

 only fault I find with it is the long time between issues. 

 F. A. Duford, Chaumont, N. Y. 



I wish to thank you for the Forehand gun you gave me 

 for the club of new subscribers. It is a perfect beauty. 

 J. W. Ackerman, Fishkill, N. Y. 



Recreation is the best sportsmen's magazine published 

 at any price, and I am proud to be on your visiting list. 

 H. W. Boardman, Worcester, Mass.
