RECREATION. 



35 pages of pure reading matter and pic- 

 tures of just as good a quality and just as 

 interesting as can be found in any other 

 magazine of the country, except, of course, 

 Recreation. The page size is about the 

 same as that of Recreation. The articles 

 treat of travel, history, business develop- 

 ment in many branches, etc. The price of 

 the new magazine is only 50 cents a year, 

 or 5 cents a copy. It is worth double the 

 money. 



I beg to again remind you of the most 

 excellent line of dog remedies manufac- 

 tured by the Polk Miller Drug Co., of 

 Richmond, Va. Mr. Polk Miller, the vet- 

 eran sportsman and author, and who is 

 president of this company, has had 40 

 years' practical experience in treating dis- 

 eases of dogs. The preparations he makes 

 are invaluable to dog owners, inasmuch as 

 they are only intended for the ailments 

 with which dogs are more frequently af- 

 flicted. Three cents in stamps will en- 

 able you to get a revised edition of Mr. 

 Miller's book on "Dogs — Their Ailments — 

 How to Treat Them," including a pedi- 

 gree blank for which no charge is made. 



The new Goerz plate attachment appeals 

 to many persons interested in phoi ography. 

 The attachment is fitted to the Nc . 3 fold- 

 ing pocket Kodak only, and allows the 

 owner to use both film and plates, besides 

 permitting him to focus the picture on the 

 ground glass. The cost of the attachment 

 is reasonable, and 6 plate holders are in- 

 cluded in the outfit. The advertisement of 

 the Goerz Optical Company in this num- 

 ber illustrates the attachment fitted to the 

 Kodak. Further information will be read- 

 ily furnished if you will communicate with 

 the manufacturer, C. P. Goerz Optical 

 Works, Room 27, 52 E. Union Square, 

 New York. Mention Recreation. 



Every reader of Recreation should 

 read the Page Fence ad in this issue. It is 

 well worth it. It has a good ring to it 

 and shows that even great corporations 

 recognize the work Recreation is doing 

 in its effort to annihilate the game hog. 

 The Page Fence Co. is working for the 

 same cause that Recreation is, namely, 

 the preservation and propagation of big 

 game animals and birds. Though the 

 Company admits it cannot fence out the 

 game hogs, it can fence in the game, and 

 the owners thereof can do the rest. 



Readers of Recreation are again offered 

 a chance to buy pure maple sugar and 

 syrup from a fellow sportsman and a fellow 

 reader of this magazine. I refer to Mr T.A. 

 Waterman, of Johnson, Vermont, whose ad 

 appears on page xli of this issue. I have 

 bought some of Mr. Waterman's product 



and can cheertuL'y certify to its purity, 

 cleanliness an \ gilt edged quality in every 

 way. A banker who knows Mr. Water- 

 man intimately tells me he is thoroughly 

 reliable, and that any orders sent him will 

 be promptly and honestly filled. 



Hemm & Woodward, Sidney, Ohio, say 

 they are getting large numbers of orders 

 for their Wick Plugs from Recreation 

 readers, but they imagine there must be 

 many other readers who have shotguns 

 and who have not yet learned of the pecu- 

 liar advantages of the Wick Plug for pre- 

 venting fine guns from rusting. All such 

 are strongly advised to write Hemm & 

 Woodward for a descriptive circular of 

 their new appliance. When you do this, 

 please mention Recreation. 



The Savage Arms Co., Utica, N. Y., 

 has issued a catalogue for 1902. The pic- 

 ture design is by Dan Smith, a well-known 

 illustrator, and represents a mountain trag- 

 edy. The picture has all the dash and 

 spirit for which Mr. Smith's work is fa- 

 mous, and would make a welcome addition 

 to the collection of every big game hunter 

 in the country. Send 6 cents for a copy of 

 the catalogue and say you saw it men- 

 tioned in Recreation. 



Spratts have issued their calendar for 

 1902, and as usual have devoted the pic- 

 torial part of it to dogs, cats, poultry and 

 rabbits. There are some interesting illus- 

 trations of these birds and animals, and 

 everyone who likes them should have a copy 

 of this calendar. See cut on page L of 

 this issue. Address Spratt's Patent, 

 Market and Congress Streets, Newark, N. 

 J. Mention Recreation. 



Mr. Henry L. Jespersen, 



10 Park Place, New York City. 



Dear Sir: The fishing rod purchased 



from you has been given a severe test, and 



I am satisfied that I received double 



value for my money. Respectfully yours.

 engineer at Wilkesbarre, Pa., who recently 

 completed 2 iron bridges at that place, is a 

 graduate of the International Correspond- 

 ence Schools, Scranton, Pa. 



Citizen — Madam, why do you persist in 

 punching me with your umbrella? 



Madam — I want to make you look around 

 so I can thank you for giving me your 

 seat. Now, sir, don't you say women 

 have no manners. — Chicago Record-Her- 

 ald. 



The Horton rod I received as a premium 

 is O. K.
