When -securing subscribers for Recrea- 

 tion, it is often amusing to watch some 

 sportsman when he gets the first sample 

 copy in his hands. Mention $1 a year, and 

 see how his eyes grow larger with every 

 beautiful page turned. When they have 

 reached the limit in size, out comes his $1 

 and he is a friend and admirer of Recrea- 

 tion forever. 



John Slovensky, Pittsburg, Pa. 



You are certainly to be congratulated on 

 the unusual success of your magazine in a 

 field which was, apparently, covered. Rec- 

 reation has proved the real thing.
