I herewith send you $1 for which please 

 continue sending me Recreation. The 

 idea of that magazine ceasing its friendly 

 rounds to this house does not strike me 

 favorably.

A SUGGESTION FOR CHRISTMAS. 



Have you commenced to think of Christ- 

 mas presents? If so, here is a suggestion. 



A yearly subscription to Recreation 

 furnishes one of the most delightful, in- 

 structive, entertaining Christmas presents 

 you can possibly give a man or boy who 

 is interested in nature, in fishing, shooting, 

 amateur photography; or, who is fond of 

 lakes or the rivers. 



Many of the presents which people give 

 their friends afford pleasure only for a few 

 days, or weeks. A subscription to Rec- 

 reation means solid comfort a whole year. 

 It reminds your friend 12 times during the 

 year of your kindness and generosity. 

 There are many men and women who for 

 5 years past have annually sent in long lists 

 of names of friends, accompanied with a 

 check in order that these friends might be 

 made happy a whole year. Would it not 

 be well for you to adopt this plan? 



Try it and see how grateful the recipient 

 will be. 



In answer to my ad in a late number of 

 Recreation, which you so kindly inserted 

 for me announcing that I had a boat for 

 sale, I received 48 letters. If this does not 

 prove the superiority of Recreation as an 

 advertising medium, I five it up.
