I used and sold Peters shells 2 years and 

 consider them inferior to Winchester and 

 U. M. C. In rifles I have shot everything 

 from a 22 to a 45-70. A Winchester is my 

 favorite. Have owned 2 Marlins, a 32-20 

 and a 32-40, and have no further use for 

 that make. I use a Remington ' shot gun 

 and find it satisfactory. For ducks and 

 foxes I load with 26 grains of Infallible. 

 Should like to learn through Recreation 

 what sportsmen think of the Remington 

 gun.

It is dead easy to secure subscriptions for 

 Recreation.

The best storage place for roll film nega- 

 tives is in a printing frame with the back 

 springs taut. When required for printing, 

 they will come out flat. This is infinitely 

 better than smearing the gelatine side with 

 glycerine, which is likely to induce the 

 growth of fungus. — Exchange. 



I would not miss a single copy of Rec- 

 reation under any circumstances. I think 

 it the best edited sportsman's journal in 

 existence. I have taken them all, at one 

 time or another, but none of them come up 

 to Recreation. 



A publication of the character and merit 

 of Recreation ought to be encouraged.
