 and summer resort land. _

Sportsmen and naturalists should know 

 the good qualities of the Goerz binocular 

 field glass. It is a powerful instrument, 

 and is invaluable to any hunter or any per- 

 son who desires to study wild animals or 

 birds in their natural .environment. It is 

 no exaggeration to say that with one of 

 these glasses you can clearly distinguish 

 the eye and every feather of a sparrow at 

 a distance of 50 yards. You can distin- 

 guish the eye, the hair and the horns of a 

 deer at 200 yards with one of these glasses. 

 You can see a 22 caliber bullet hole in a 

 piece of white paper at 200 yards. When 

 you realize the power of one of tnese 

 glasses and the great value it is in hunting 

 or studying wild animals, you will agree 

 with me that no person interested in out- 

 door life can afford to be without one. 

 Read the ad of C. P. Goerz & Son in this 

 issue of Recreation, and answer it. Do 

 not forget to say where you saw it. 



It is not really necessary to pay such a 

 price in order to get a good lens, but you 

 can get just as good a one from this firm 

 as you are willing to pay for. They issue 

 a complete and exhaustive catalogue. If 

 Interested in lenses please write for it 

 and say you saw it mentioned in Recre- 

 ation. 



There is always great satisfaction in or- 

 dering goods from a house that you know 

 will follow your instructions faithfully, and 

 give you what you want. You can always 

 rest assured of receiving such treatment at 

 the hands of Wm. Mills & Sons, fishing 

 tackle dealers, 21 Park Place, New York. 

 This house was established in 1822, and 

 among the thousands of customers who do 

 business. In due time you will get the 

 scarcely find a man who would not swear 

 by them. Therefore, if you are in need of 

 anything in the way of fishing tackle, fish- 

 ing clothing, or related lines send in your 

 order to Mills & Son, and go about your 

 buisness. In due time you will get the 

 goods, and they will be just what the doc- 

 tor prescribed. 



Amateur photographers will be interest- 

 ed in the fact that Messrs. Charles I. 

 Berg, Henry Troth and Rudolph Eicke- 

 meyer, Jr., have consented to act as 

 judges in the Kodak Progress Competi- 

 tion. These men stand at the front 

 of photography, and the best photog- 

 raphers may feel perfect confidence in their 

 ability to pass judgment on the pictures 

 submitted. The Eastman people may well 

 feel gratified at being able to secure such 

 capable men to do this important work. 



The Rochester Lens Company, Rochester, 

 N. Y., is making a series of lenses that are 

 equal to many of the high-priced goods 

 produced in Europe. I was really surprised 

 on going into their office and looking over 

 some of their product. For instance, they 

 make a 4x5 lens that sells as high as $150. 



E. S. Applegate & Co., of Trenton, N. J., 

 have moved from their old stand to new 

 and larger quarters at 209 East State St., 

 opposite the postoffice, where they carry 

 a full line of guns, ammunition, fishing 

 tackle, camp equippage, and in fact al- 

 most everything a sportsman needs, when 

 shooting, fishing or camping. Applegate 

 & Co. publish a complete catalogue of 

 sportsmen's goods, which they will send 

 free to any one asking for it and mention- 

 ing this notice. 



Every angler in the country should write 

 Wm. Shakespeare, Jr., Kalamazoo, Mich., 

 for a copy of his booklets, entitled, "Fine 

 Points About Tackle," "The Art of Bait 

 Casting," "How to Win," and "How to 

 Catch Bass." These are all beautiful books 

 from an artistic standpoint, and are full 

 of valuable information. Any fisherman 

 will be well rewarded for the time spent 

 in reading them. In asking for them please 

 mention Recreation. 



New Britain, Conn. 

 Mr. Henry L. Jespersen, New York. 



My Dear Sir: Please send me a copy of 

 your catalogue. I want some photo, 

 supplies and remembering your favors to 

 me when you were with the old firm, I 

 should like to continue with you. Yours 

 truly, E. H Davison. 



Washington, Sr. — But, George, why did 

 you cut down the cherry tree? 



Washington, Jr. — Well, I had to dis- 

 tinguish myself somehow, and there weren't 

 any mountain lions around to shoot. — Life.
