RECREATION. 



GET YOUR OUTFIT FOR 1902. 



I received the Harrington & Richardson 

 revolver sent me as a premium and am 

 highly pleased with it. Am surprised at 

 the quality of the premiums you give and at 

 the small number of subscriptions you ask 

 for them. I went camping last week with a 

 tent received from you, for subscriptions, 

 about a year ago. It proved an excellent 

 article. 



H. B. Furnside, Schenectady, N. Y. 



I received the Mullins' Get-There duck 

 boat in good condition, and it surpassed 

 my expectation. I have given it a thor- 

 ough test and am satisfied that it can't 

 be beaten. I can not thank you enough 

 for this valuable premium, as it was earned 

 so easily. J. H. Jones, 



South Windsor, Conn. 



Some time ago you sent me a Syracuse 

 shot gun as a premium. Not until recently 

 have I had a chance to try it, and then only 

 at the traps. It must be an exceptionally 

 hard shooter, for everyone present re- 

 marked on the great distance at which it 

 killed. John L. Hardeman, 



Macon, Ga. 



The Forehand double hammerless shot 

 gun sent me as a premium is beyond my ex- 

 pectations. It is certainly a beauty and a 

 good shooter as well. No sportsman need 

 to be without a good gun when one can be 

 earned so easily. 



W. W. Case, Belding, Mich. 



I received my premium, an Abercrombie 

 tent, and am much pleased with it. I have 

 had lots of fun with the gun and the rifle 

 you gave me as premiums. Recreation is 

 the greatest magazine on. earth and its pre- 

 miums are snaps. R. C. Bonnell, 



White House, N. J. 



The Recreation waterproof match box, 

 the Ideal hunting knife and the Horton 

 steel fishing rod arrived all right. I am 

 much pleased with the premiums and thank 

 "ou sincerely for them. 



E. G. Dewey, Hanover, N. H. 



I received the Reflex camera you sent 

 me. It is perfect in every respect. I can- 

 not say enough for it. I don't know how 

 you can give such valuable premiums for 

 the number of subscribers. 



W. A. Nyce, Jr., Poughkeepsie, N. Y. 



If all your advertisers are as reliable „s 

 Drs. H. R. Phillips and Wrean, Penn Yan, 

 N. Y., you have a good clientage. I bought 

 a trio of Belgian hares of them, and they 

 sent me dandies. 



Geo. Scott, Brooklyn, N. Y. 



The Shakespeare reel for 15 subscriptions 

 at hand. Accept my sincere thanks. Have 



tried it a number of times and find it as ad- 

 vertised — one of the best casting reels made. 

 S. C. Morgan, Waukesha, Wis. 



Please accept my thanks for premiums 

 sent me; namely, hunting coat, Carpenter 

 folding cot, and Bristol steel rod. They are 

 3 of a kind and a mighty good kind. 



M. Cook, Barre, Vt. 



The Korona camera you sent me as pre- 

 mium for a club of subscribers to Recrea- 

 tion is a fine instrument in every particu- 

 lar, exceeding my expectation. 



S. Smedley, Media, Pa. 



The Gall & Lembke field glass sent as 

 premium for Recreation subscriptions was 

 received in good condition. Am" much 

 pleased with it. 



J. C. Smith, Lynn, Mass. 



I received the Yawman & Erbe automatic 

 reel in return for subscriptions I sent in. 

 It works to perfection and I am greatly 

 pleased with it. 



C. A. Massey, Malone, N. Y. 



My Savage .303 that you ordered for me 

 arrived O. K. It is exactly as I ordered, 

 and is certainly a fine premium for so little 

 work. 



H. N., Uhrichsville, O. 



I received the Nehring convertible am- 

 pliscopes you sent me as premium for 5 

 yearly subscriptions and am well pleased 

 with them. 



Mrs. H. M. Needham, 

 Thomason's Landing, B. C. 



I received the Marble hunting knife as 

 premium. Several friends to whom I have 

 shown it say they never saw a finer knife. 

 O. M. Grazier, Gatesburg, Pa. 



I received the West End gun cabinet. 

 It is a beauty and certainly is big com- 

 pensation for so little trouble. 



Chas. Lenhardt, Utica, N. Y. 



I received the Marble pocket axe you 

 sent me. It is a handsome tool and one 

 that will do good service. 



L. L. Litman, Dunbar, Pa. 



The Shattuck gun you gave me for the 30 

 names I sent you was received O. K. and 

 is better than I expected. 



W. T. Foster, Joplin, Mo. 



I thank you for the Primus oil stove 

 you sent me as a premium. It is worth 

 its weight in gold. 



John Snipes, Plainfield, Ind. 



Wizard A camera is at hand. I thank 

 you for it and think myself well paid 'for 

 the few hours spent in getting up the club. 

 R. C. Ditto, Delphos, O.
