REVIVAL OF BICYCLE INDUSTRY 
The re-issue of the Pope bicycle daily 
leaf calendar may be considered the open- 
ing gun proclaiming the natural and health- 
ful return of bicycling. Col. Albert A. 
Pope, the founder of our bicycle industries 
and the pioneer in the good roads move- 
ment, is again at the head of the bicycle 
industry. On the 366 calendar leaves are 
freshly written lines from the pens of our 
greatest college presidents, doctors, clergy- 
men, statesmen, and other eminent men and 
women, all of them enthusiastically sup- 
porting bicycling. Half of each leaf is 
blank for memoranda. This calendar is 
free at the Pope Manufacturing Company’s 
stores, or any RECREATION reader can ob- 
tain it by sending 5 2-cent stamps to the 
Pope Manufacturing Co., Hartford, Conn., 
or 143 Sigel Street, Chicago, Ill. 

The Malcolm Rifle Telescope Co., 
Syracuse, N. Y. 
Dear Sirs: Great credit is due your 
Company for putting on the market such 
an excellent telescope rifle sight as the lit- 
tle Rough Rider. I have carried one to 
the woods 2 seasons for a month each trip. 
I have used rifles, both large and small 
bore, since I could hold one, and the use of 
your hunting ’scope of 3 powers much more 
than doubles the pleasure I get out of my 
rifles. 
Your A side mounts are all anyone could 
wish, compact and neat, up and down and 
sidewise. The Rough Rider ’scope simply 
makes a rifle of any size complete.

Benton Robbins, Cassville, Mo., has se- 
cured Patent No. 728,302 on a gun barrel 
protector. This is described as an absor- 
bent sheath, open at one end and closed at 
the other, with a tightly fitting, closely 
coiled spring arranged within the sheath, 
and a plug adapted to screw into the open 
end of the sheath. A ring is attached to 
this plug so that a string may be fastened 
to it and dropped into the barrel. Then the 
sheath is to be drawn into the barrel and 
left there. 
With all the cleaning devices being man- 
ufactured, in the way of wick plugs, oils, 
sheathes, &c., there will be no excuse here- 
after for any man who may carry a dirty 
gun.

D. M. Tuttle Co., 
Canastota, N. Y. 
Sirs: 
I am much pleased to say that the 18 
foot launch, 1% H. P. motor, bought of 
you in July last, has proved entirely satis- 
factory. We often have rough water at 
this end of Seneca lake, and I have had 
her in big waves. Was out to-day with a 
party of 8, and she rode the swells like a 
duck. The motor works perfectly. In 
short, we are well pleased and satisfied with 
the investment and made no mistake in se- 
lecting a Tuttle boat. 
Respectfully yours, 
Edward Hanner.
