 new and exclu=

 ence of over 15 

 years in manu- 

 facturing. We

 ed for Sports- 

 men. Prices from $9.00 to $90 00. Ask your dealer, or write

Mention Recreation. 



As I have gained many useful ideas from 

 your valuable magazine I feel it my duty, 

 as an angler and a sportsman, to emphasize 

 the importance and value of the Marble 

 Safety Pocket Axe to the fly fisherman. It 

 is to me an indispensable article, paying for 

 itself daily in the saying of flies and leaders 

 from the limbs of trees, the tops of alders, 

 etc., as well as the saving of time and tem- 

 per. I use it a great deal in clearing away 

 limbs, bushes, etc., and in opening the way 

 to a successful cast at a beauty-spot, where 

 fontinalis is almost sure to be ready the 

 next time I happen that way. One will be 

 amazed at the work this little axe will do. 

 It is indeed no toy — light, effective, but 

 hard to keep in your possession when once 

 your angling comrade sees it. I have 

 bought 3 of these axes this season, and 

 I now keep a string on the last one. 

 Dr. G. F. Richardson,

I can not understand why Eastern sports- 

 men ask so many questions about 25-35, 

 30-30 and 30-40 guns. The .303 Savage will 

 take the place of those calibers and is 

 better than any of them. I used one on the 

 Yukon, and of 18 moose shot with it only 

 one required a second bullet. I killed 5 

 bear with one shot at each. There is no 

 rifle equal to the Savage.

A Good Formula Free 



To save plates use a Wager Ex- 

 posure Scale. It tells you the cor- 

 rect exposure in every case, and 



saves its cost in a month. No sensitized paper, no multiplying in the head — that's a 



nuisance, and besides you may make a mistake. Endorsed by the Editor of Recreation. 



Post free, 50 cents. Aluminum, $1.00. Your money returned if you don't like it. Send 



a postal for our Booklet No. 5, lots of hints and formrdse.
