"THERE IS NOTHING SO RARE AS RESTING 

 ON AIR." 



It is said there is nothing new under the 

 sun, and it seems we shall have to go back 

 to Bible times to prove its truth in this case; 

 for we read that " He took up his bed and 

 walked." Consequently they must have had 

 pneumatic mattresses in those days. How- 

 ever, it will be news to most people to learn 

 that the Pneumatic Mattress Co., Reading, 

 Mass., makes a mattress that you can de- 

 flate, pack in your grip and ship off to 

 camp, or on board your yacht, and at the 

 end of your trip put it back in your bed 

 for every night use. These pneumatic mat- 

 tresses and cushions are revolutionizing the 

 upholstery business and are rapidly displac- 

 ing hair mattresses, just as the pneumatic 

 tire has displaced all others. The American 

 Line Steamship Co. has adopted them, and 

 the Reading company is now making 1,000 

 mattresses for the " Paris " and the " New 

 York." This is good evidence of their 

 worth. If you want a luxurious mattress, 

 you can get lots of good ideas by reading the 

 Pneumatic Mattress Company's advertise- 

 ment in Recreation. Mention this maga- 

 zine when you write them. 



That beautiful book " Birds that Hunt 

 and are Hunted," sells at $2. Treats of all 

 the principal game birds and birds of prey. 

 The book and Recreation one year $2.50. 

 This applies to renewals as well as to new 

 subscriptions. 



Mrs. Unsofist — They say that the Minne- 

 apolis can steam 24 knots in an hour. 



Mr. Unsofist — That's what she can do. 



Mrs. Unsofist — I suppose they steam them 

 so the poor sailors can untie them more 

 easily. — Brooklyn Life.

 Recreation. 



Its interesting pages have often brought 

 pleasure and instruction to my fireside and 

 I feel as though I could not afford to be 

 without it. 



Henry J. Hadlich, St. Paul, Minn. 



I received the Carpenter tent. Am de- 

 lighted with it. I feel more than repaid for 

 my work in securing subscriptions for 

 Recreation. 



W. M. Robinson, Boston, Mass. 



Recreation is the best magazine printed. 

 The Cyclone camera arrived all right. 

 Thank you very much. Your premiums are 

 great. John D. Sharp, Milford, Mass. 



The Marlin revolver I received from you 

 as premium is very accurate and a most 

 desirable weapon in every way. 



A. A. Haines, Armington, Mont. 



I have received the reel from Yawman & 

 Erbe O. K., and it is just the article to save 

 fish. D. S. Miner, East Berlin, Conn.
