PUBLISHER'S NOTES. 



NEW STYLES OF KODAKS. 



The Eastman Kodak Company has issued 

 a new catalogue that fairly sparkles with 

 jewels of photographic science. The East- 

 man Company has added several new came- 

 ras to its already extensive line, and to see 

 pictures and read descriptions of some of 

 these, makes one long to get outdoors 

 and make pictures. One of the new 

 features is a No. O folding pocket Kodak, a 

 miniature picture machine, which is scarcely 

 larger than a cigar case, but which makes a 

 picture i^ by 2V2. inches. This is not only 

 a Docket Kodak, but might reasonably be 

 termed a vest pocket edition. You can 

 readily carry it in the inside pocket of your 

 coat, and no one would know to look at you 

 that you were loaded. If you make a sharp 

 negative with one of these cameras you 

 can make enlargements from it to 5 or 6 

 times the original size, that will have all the 

 good qualities of the original contact print. 



Another recent production of the East- 

 man factory is a No. 3 folding pocket Kodak 

 de luxe. This superb instrument is the same 

 construction as the original No. 3, but is 

 equipped with a Bausch & Lomb plastigmat 

 lens and a Bausch & Lomb automatic shut- 

 ter. The box is covered with Persian 

 morocco, which has a beautiful natural pat- 

 tern in soft brown tints, and the bellows are 

 covered with brown silk. On each instru- 

 ment is a solid silver name plate, and the 

 whole business is enclosed in a hand- 

 sewed carrying case of P( ~sian morocco, 

 with silver trimmings. This instrument 

 sells at $75, but it is worth that sim- 

 ply to look at and to play with, if you 

 should never make a picture with it. It is 

 one of those artistic, fascinating bits of 

 mechanism that one can revel in for a 

 whole evening, and it will interest any visi- 

 tor who may come in, no matter if he be a 

 camera crank or not. Then when you do 

 have occasion to go photographing, this 

 camera, if shown at the door, would ad- 

 mit you to any brownstone front on Madi- 

 son Avenue. 



The Eastman people also describe and 

 illustrate in this new catalogue a stereo 

 Kodak, a No. 2 Brownie, and a plate at- 

 tachment for a No. 3 folding pocket Ko- 

 dak; also a new folding head tripod. 



The Eastman people are now furnishing 

 the famous Bausch & Lomb plastigmat 

 lenses on any and all their cameras, when 

 so ordered, and the man who can not make 

 good pictures with such an equipment as 

 this company can furnish, may as well quit 

 trying and shut up shop. 



ing than in Northern Maine. Moosehead 

 lake is a beautiful sheet of water, with 400 

 miles of shore line. There is to be found 

 the best trout and togue fishing in this 

 North country. Canoe trips in the different 

 waters of this famous region are exceeding- 

 ly popular, and the enthusiastic fisherman 

 who has heretofore canoed on the calm sur- 

 face of a placid lake will realize the differ- 

 ence when running the rapids of some of 

 those mighty rivers which cover hundreds 

 of miles of waterway. 



The Guide Book of the Bangor & 

 Aroostook Railway, "In Pine Tree Jun- 

 gles," gives full information regarding this 

 region. Sportsmen and pleasure seekers 

 should not fail to write the Railway Com- 

 pany for a copy of this book before decid- 

 ing where to spend their summer or fall 

 vacation. Please say you saw the book 

 mentioned in Recreation. 



Yawman & Erbe, Rochester, N. Y., mak- 

 ers of the famous Automatic reels, have 

 offered 3 separate prizes, of $25 each, to 

 lucky anglers who may see fit to compete 

 for them this season. One of these prizes 

 is to go to the man who takes the largest 

 trout during the season of 1902, on a Y. & 

 E. Automatic reel. The second prize goes 

 to the man taking the largest black bass 

 with a Y. & E. reel, during 1902. These 

 people also offer a prize of $25 for the 

 largest fish of any other kind taken with a 

 Y. & E. reel during the year. 



I should like to see Recreation readers 

 win these prizes. Write Yayman & Erbe 

 for contestant's blank, and please say you 

 saw the competition mentioned in Recrea- 

 tion. 



W. J. Reynolds, general manager of the 

 Racine Boat Manufacturing Company, 

 writes me that notwithstanding they have 

 increased their capacity 25 per cent, this 

 year, they are already behind their orders, 

 and will not be able to come anywhere near 

 filling them promptly throughout the sea- 

 son. The Racine people have been ad- 

 vertising in Recreation 3 vears, using full 

 pages all the time, and this is why they 

 have more orders than they can fill. 



Nowhere in America can be found more 

 glorious opportunities for fishing and hunt- 



Our January business was 2 J / 2 times that 

 of January 1901, February was 6 times that 

 of February, 1901, and on the 3d of March 

 we had already passed the total for March 

 1001. This shows that as the people learn 

 of the merits of Pneumatic goods they are 

 quick to appreciate and buy them.
