RECREA TION. 



WHAT THEY SAY OF THE PRE- 

 MIUMS. 



I received the Kenwood sleeping bag 

 which you gave me as premium for a club 

 of subscribers to Recreation. It comes 

 to me more as a gift than as something 

 actually earned. Such a premium, for 15 

 subscriptions to an article that sells on 

 sight, as Recreation does to intelligent 

 people, proves your generous nature. 



Chas. F. Hickok, Grand Marais, Mich. 



I received the Special Hawkeye in first class condition. 

 It is the finest camera of its size in the city and I am under 

 many obligations for your liberality, which enabled me to 

 earn such a fine premium. This is a pleasure all around, 

 as I suppose you are pleased at getting such a large list of 

 subscriptions from the best business men of this place. I am 

 pleased with the premium, and the subscribers are pleased 

 with Recreation. W. W. Barney, Kearney, Neb. 



The Forehand gun you sent me as premium can't be 

 beaten. I have outshot all other guns I have been out 

 with. Some of them were high-priced standards, but their 

 owners acknowledged that the Forehand was too much for 

 them. A man said the other day, "After the game is out 

 of reach of all the rest of them, Lander drops it," so you 

 see I am more than pleased. 



W. S. Lander, Bloomington, 111. ■ 



The 22 Marlin repeater was received in good condition, 

 and is exactly the gun I expected. It is handsome, and 

 would do credit to any home. To say I am pleased with 

 this prize does not half express my feelings. It was just 

 like finding a rifle. Am fully satisfied for the little time 

 and trouble spent in securing names for my club to Rec- 

 reation. W. E. Rowe, Bloomdale, O. 



My Syracuse gun has proven satisfactory in every par- 

 ticular. Everyone who has seen it says it is a handsome 

 gun and well worth working for. One man wanted to know 

 what I would take for it. I told him I did not want to sell 

 it. I think more of it because I received it from Recrea- 

 tion than I would if I had bought it. 



Harrie Culver, London, Ont. 



I thank you for the Syracuse gun you sent me as pre- 

 mium for subscriptions to your best of sporting journals, 

 Recreation. I am but 14 years old and was attending 

 school at the time I was working on the list. I advise all 

 boys who have no gun to get a good one, just like mine. 

 Jos. H. Reed, Springfield, Mo. 



I received the Ingersoll watch, which is a good time- 

 keeper and just the thing to take on a hunting trip. 



The Forehand gun is beautiful. Have tried it thor- 

 oughly and am perfectly satisfied with it in every respect. 

 I thank you for the present. It is nothing less. 



C. C. Campbell, Redfield, S. D. 



I received the loading tool for 30-40 which you kindly 

 sent me as premium and am much pleased with it. The 

 Ideal Tool Company's goods always give me perfect satis- 

 faction. L. D. von Iffland, Cowansville, P. Q. 



The watch you sent me is a perfectly grand prize for 20 

 subscriptions. To show my appreciation of what you have 

 done for me I enclose a P. O. Order of $10 for 10 more sub- 

 scriptions. E. E. Wiles, Lima, Ohio. 



I received the Cyclone camera as premium for 7 sub- 

 scriptions, and was agreeably disappointed. It is much 

 better than I expected. Thanks for your promptness. 



Dr. F. P. Newman, Washington, N. H. 



I received the Baby Hawkeye camera safe. I thank you 

 for your promptness and for your kindness in sending so 

 valuable a premium. R. A. Walker, Meriden, Conn. 



> The Eastman Pocket Kodak you sent me as premium has 

 given perfect satisfaction. It was an easy way to obtain a 

 handsome camera. E. P. West, Kansas City, Kans. 



Please accept my thanks for the Kenwood sleeping bag 

 you sent me for a club of subscriptions to Recreation. It 

 is as fine a bag as I ever saw. I use it every chance I have. 

 Am much pleased with it. 



Omar W. Mann, Laredo, Texas. 



I thank you for the beautiful Baby Wizard camera you 

 sent me as premium. I do not know whether my boy or 

 myself is the most pleased with it. 



Jason Wilson, Hartford, Conn. 



The little Davenport rifle you sent me for a premium is 

 very satisfactory. Have given it to my wife, who is be- 

 coming quite expert in its use. 



Geo. H. Swift, Cross Village, Mich. 



I received the Marlin rifle and it far exceeds my expecta- 

 tions. I do not see how you can afford to give such pre- 

 miums. Frank Squire, Jr., Eagle, Colo. 



The 30-30 Marlin came all right and it is a beauty. All 

 my friends say, "Is that all you had to do to get that 

 rifle?" C. S. Flower, Greeley, Colo. 



I received the gun from the Syracuse Arms Co. yester- 

 day and it is beautiful. Many thanks for your kindness. 

 Frank Harter, Renovo, Pa. 



I have used my Syracuse gun at 50 paces and it does 

 some remarkable shooting. Am more than satisfied. 



W. J. Butler, Appleton, Wis. 



Have received the Hollenbeck gun and it is satisfactory 

 in every respect. Please accept my sincere thanks. 



Geo. Burkhardt, Buffalo, N. Y. 



Received the Bristol rod, have tried it and pronounce it 

 a grand success. Many thanks to Recreation. 



C. W. Aken, East Liverpool, O. 



I received my Baby Wizard camera and am much pleased 

 with it. It is beautiful and everyone admires it. 



H. C. Seebers, Lima, O. 



Have thoroughly tried the 30-30 Marlin you sent me and 

 would not exchange it for any rifle I ever saw. 



H. W. Stevens, Portland, Me. 



The Wide Angle Wizard camera is a beauty and fully 

 repays me for the work required to earn it. 



N. C. Bennett, Waterford, N. Y. 



I received my Bull's-Eye camera which you sent me as 

 premium, and am much pleased with it. 



Sam M. Colman, Leadville, Colo. 



I appreciate your premium Kodak. It works well and 

 was in perfect order when received. 



P. R. Halleron, Port Jervis, N. Y. 



I am much pleased with the watch you sent me as pre- 

 mium. . It keeps accurate time. 



G. W. Stahl, Zelienople, Pa. 



I received the Yawman & Erbe reel O. K. It is at least 

 100$ better than I expected. 



J. H. Jenny, Jr., Merrill, Wis. 



I received the Kenwood camping bag you so kindly sent 

 me and am well pleased with it. 



Geo. E. Lucas, Hartford, Conn. 



The rifle and fishing rod you sent my brother are fit for 

 the crowned heads of Europe. 



G. M. Beals, Lowell, Mass. 



I used my Kenwood sleeping bag and don't think a camp 

 is complete without one. C. L. Seward, Fremont, Ohio. 



I have received my Marlin rifle and like it very much. 

 It is a beauty. C. H. Wilcox, Oakland, Cal. 



Received the Forehand gun all right. It is nice and fits 

 perfectly. S. B. Kauffman, Lima, O.
