RECREATION. 



WHAT THEY THINK OF RECREATION 



Although only a recent subscriber to 

 Recreation, I think it is the best with 

 which I am acquainted, and I have read 

 most of the prominent journals devoted to 

 outdoor sport. I do not see how you can 

 furnish such an excellent magazine for the 

 money. All of your readers here speak in 

 the highest terms of it. 



H. E. Bartlett, Mt. Sterling, 111. 



Have bought every number of Recrea- 

 tion since May, 1896. Out of some 9 

 magazines laid on my desk every month no 

 other receives half the attention. Recreation 

 does. It is read from cover to cover by 

 Mrs. Grey and myself, and our little girl 

 asks regularly for the "pretty red book" 

 with the nice pictures. 



H. R. Grey, Danby, Vt. 



I note that you published my letter about 

 my red Irish setter; also one on pheasant 

 breeding. I received many letters after 

 that from prominent sportsmen in Penn- 

 sylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Minnesota, Mich- 

 igan, and other States, and was much sur- 

 prised at the extent of your magazine's cir- 

 culation. • 



J. F. Blome, Tomah, Wis. 



v-, 



I get your magazine through my brother, 

 the newsdealer here. I like to see you give 

 it to the thick skinned tribe. There are a 

 number here. I used to be one myself, 

 but, thanks to your magazine, I am one no 

 longer. I have managed to get a few of the 

 boys to quit shooting quails on the ground. 

 Roswell Puckett, Rock Rapids, la. 



We have always taken several magazines. 

 Some I never have taken much interest in, 

 but Recreation strikes me exactly, and I 

 always read it from beginning to end. 

 Every number reminds me of days gone by. 

 Sporting goods houses that do not adver- 

 tise in Recreation are making a mistake. 

 H. M. Tinkham, Cove Forge, Pa. 



I am with you, as every true sportsman 

 should be, in trying to educate those who 

 like a day afield to a higher standard of 

 sportsmanship. You are on the right track 

 and I am glad to see someone who is fear- 

 less enough to speak the truth about the 

 porkers. They can not be hit too hard. 

 H. M. Johnson, Batavia, N. Y. 



I am glad to see your rapid strides in 

 circulation; also that Recreation is im- 

 proving with each issue. It is better to 

 take one first-class sportsmen's magazine 

 than several poor ones. The average busi- 

 ness man has not time to read more than 

 one, and so wants the best. 



M, ft. Barnum, North Platte, Neb. 



If the merits of Recreation itself were 

 not enough to appeal to and win every one 

 who is at all interested in the subjects to 

 which it is devoted, then certainly the lib- 

 erality of its management ought to make 

 it friends without number. 



W. F. Short, Jr., Jacksonville, 111. 



Success to Recreation. Keep after the 

 hogs. You are doing a world of good, and 

 all good men are with you in spite of the 

 Marlins, the Peters, the Winchesters, and 

 the game and fish hogs. 



W. W. Gallaher, Mound City, Mo. 



I will send you more subscribers soon, 

 as it is a pleasure to talk Recreation to 

 my friends and induce them to subscribe 

 for the best sportsmen's magazine in 

 America. 



S. M. Eaton, Watertown, Wis. 



I take 8 different periodicals, both weekly 

 and monthly, but Recreation is the leader. 

 The others are fill-ins until the next issue 

 of Recreation appears. 



J. R. Guinn, Philadelphia, Pa. 

 v 



I am highly pleased with Recreation. 

 It is the most compact and humane maga- 

 zine in the interest of the true sportsmen 

 that I have ever read. 



. . J. F. Farmer, Watertown, N. Y. 



It is easily seen that wherever Recrea- 

 tion is taken the friends of game protec- 

 tion increase amazingly. 



J. J. Mather, Springboro, Pa. 



I am a Recreation fiend, and there ai« 

 plenty of others here. Whatever you do, 

 soak it to the game hog. 



Otto Turner, Pendleton, Ore. 



I can not see how any true sportsman 

 could look at a copy of Recreation and 

 not subscribe for it at once. 



C. E. Confarr, Clifton, O. 



I have taken Recreation 2 years, and 

 it improves with each numbei. 

 John E. Goodwein, New Haven, Conn. 



Everybody likes Recreation, and no 

 wonder, as it is the best of its kind. 

 , v J. E. Hutchinson, Laconia, N. H.

I pack your magazine on my back 25 

 miles, so you can see I apreciate it highly. 

 C. H. Prescott, Kerby, Ore. 



I consider Recreation the best sports- 

 men's journal in the world. 



F. B. Wilson, Philadelphia, Pa,
