RECREATION. 



WHAT THEY SAY OF RECREATION. 



Recreation is the best, cleanest and 

 most elevating in its influence of any pe- 

 riodical of its kind I ever read. It is in- 

 teresting from first to last. May the cru- 

 sade on the game hogs be pushed with 

 vigor until the breed becomes a thing of 

 the past. You show them no mercy, 

 whether they be rich or poor. If any par- 

 tiality appears it is to the latter. I never 

 get out to hunt or fish, but I like to live 

 near nature, which I do by reading Rec- 

 reation. 



J. T. Foster, Pasadena, Cal. 



Recreation deserves the support of all 

 true sportsmen and of all who appreciate 

 up-to-date literature touching natural his- 

 tory, amateur photography, game fishing, 

 the care of guns and tackle, and the thou- 

 sand and one things a sportsman should be 

 interested in. The campaign so constantly 

 kept up against wanton destruction of 

 game animals and fishes should bring you 

 the endorsement of all right-thinking 

 people. Jasper Bradley, 



New Cumberland, W. Va. 



In a recent issue of Recreation you ad- 

 vertised a list of reloading tools and sights 

 for me and the results were far better than 

 I had expected. Not only did I sell all my 

 tools, etc., but had inquiries from all parts 

 of America, and could have sold my outfit 

 several times over. If all the advertisers 

 who use your columns get as good results 

 as I did their relations with Recreation 

 should be very pleasant. 



C. A. Damon, Fenton, Mich. 



Please take that dog ad out of Recrea- 

 tion and send me the bill. I have'a wagon 

 load of letters about dogs, and they are 

 still coming. I had one answer to the ad 

 3 days before I received my copy of Rec- 

 reation with the ad in it, which speaks 

 well for the value of your magazine as an 

 advertising medium. 



H. E. Wadsworth, Lander, Wyo. 



I am 56 years old and never shot at 

 a piece of game in my life, but I read 

 with interest the accounts in Recreation 

 of their habits and the descriptions of their 

 haunts. The knowledge I gain of the dif- 

 ferent sections of our country is of great 

 benefit to me. 



S. F. Woolley, Allentown, N. J. 



Needless to say, I like Recreation. 

 The information one gets from the Fish 

 and Fishing, Guns and Ammunition and 

 Natural History departments of the maga- 



zine in one number is worth much more 

 than the year's subscription. 



J. H. Hicks, 

 St. Gabriel de Brandon, P. Q. 



Recreation is the best sportsmen's 

 magazine published, and I wish it con- 

 tinued success. The way you treat the 

 game hogs appeals to every true sports- 

 man's heart, and he can't help joining 

 with you to suppress them. 



Paul B. Reynolds, New York City. 



Reading Recreation an hour is as good 

 as a day's genuine sport with gun, rod or 

 camera. It is a health preserver to me. I 

 hope you may ever keep your gun cocked 

 and your spear sharpened for the hogs. 

 Down with 'em. 



W. I. Stewart, Boyne City, Mich. 



A better magazine than Recreation I 

 have never seen. It is responsible for my 

 beginning photography. I beg you to per- 

 severe in your attacks on the game hog. 

 We see in England the undoubted result 

 of such pigs having their own way. 



Stanley Franklin, Chelmsford, Eng. 



I take more solid comfort to the square 

 inch with Recreation than from all other 

 magazines now on the market, and the 

 people I have obtained subscriptions from 

 express themselves in like terms. 



M. W. Demarest, Elmira, N. Y. 



I suppose you are long on compliments 

 to Recreation; but I must say that my 

 copy is constantly on the table and is read 

 over and over again. It is both interesting 

 and instructive. 



Oscar Riedel, Dorchester, Mass. 



An ad in your valuable magazine brought 

 me offers from all over the United States, 

 and since the chances are in favor of a law 

 to protect rabbits I have ordered 100. 

 E. C Werthmuller, 

 Staten Island, N. Y. 



It does me good to see how you roast 

 the game hogs. Give them all you can. 

 I think a great deal of Recreation. Don't 

 see how you can publish it for 10 cents. 

 G. H. Olcott, New London, Ohio. 



I am a subscriber for 6 sportsmen's 

 journals and would rather have Recrea- 

 tion than any other 3 I ever saw. It is 

 worth many times its cost. 



J. M. Stedman, Columbia, Mo.
