 est you. 



The Prudential Insurance Company of 

 America received the Grand Prize and a 

 Gold Medal at the St. Louis Exposition for 

 its exhibit illustrating the Company's busi- 

 ness methods and vast and successful re- 

 sults. 



This award makes the Prudential the 

 most highly honored insurance institution 

 in the world. No other life insurance com- 

 pany has ever received a corresponding 

 award, » although numerous exhibits have 

 been made by insurance companies in the 

 United States and Europe. The award was 

 granted by a jury of qualified experts. 



The Ithaca Gun Company has recently 

 put on the market a featherweight gun in 

 all grades of hammerless, and is now pre- 

 pared to build a 12 gauge, 26 inch or 28 

 inch gun weighing 6 pounds, 6 ounces to 

 6 pounds, 10 ounces. The barrels on these 

 guns are as thick and strong as those of the 

 ordinary yy 2 pound gun, the weight being 

 saved in other parts of the gun where 

 it is not needed. It is no longer ne- 

 cessary for the American shooter to pay 

 30 per cent, duty on a gun made in another 

 country, when he needs a light weight field 

 eun. 



Leeds & Lippincott, owners of the Had- 

 don Hall Hotel at Atlantic City, N. J., are 

 the first in the field with a 1905 calendar. 

 It is got up in the same dainty, artistic 

 manner as their previous issues, and thou- 

 sands of Recreation readers know by ex- 

 perience what that means. The Haddon 

 Hall calendar is about the size of a postal 

 card, hence is convenient for desk use. A 

 postal card mentioning Recreation and 

 sent to Leeds & Lippincott will get you a 

 copy. 



At the Western Texas League shoot, 

 July 14-16, inclusive, M. E. Atchison, shoot- 

 ing the Parker gun, broke 648 out of a 

 possible 700. In the Schmelzer cup event 

 Mr. Atchison broke 50 straight. For the 

 Hunter Arms Company cup Mr. Atchison 

 broke 24 out of 25. For 3 different prizes 

 Mr. Atchison broke 99 out of a possible 100. 

 There were a number of Parker guns at this 

 shoot, and they did good work. Such scores 

 as the foregoing keep increasing and add 

 evidence to the reliability and effectiveness 

 of the Old Reliable Parker. 



Charlottesville, Va. 

 West End Furniture Co., Williamsport, Pa., 

 Gentlemen : The sportsman's cabinet 

 reached me safe. It is a beautiful _ speci- 

 men of the cabinet maker's art and is well 

 up to your printed description. It affords 



room for my guns, fishing tackle, hunting 

 and fishing clothes, shoes, and odds and 

 ends generally; and, what especially ap- 

 peals to a married man, puts these out of 

 the way and reach of the Missus and the 

 kids. Yours truly, 



W. M. Lile. 



The Ideal Manufacturing Co., of New 

 Haven, Conn., has put out still another new 

 revolver bullet, which is fully described and 

 illustrated in a circular that the company 

 will soon issue. Revolver shooters are 

 thoroughly progressive, up-to-date men, and 

 are interested in every new device intended 

 to facilitate in any way their chosen sport. 

 Therefore, all revolver shooters should get 

 copies of this circular. In writing for it 

 please mention Recreation. 



The G. W. Cole Co., 141 Broadway, New 

 York, has issued a book telling all about 

 "3 In One" oil, giving instructions as to 

 the best methods of using it, and a list of 

 a great.number of machines and other things 

 on which it may be advantageously used. 



The pamphlet really gives a great fund 

 of valuable information, and a copy of it, 

 together with a sample of the oil, will be 

 sent to any person asking for them and 

 mentioning Recreation. 



Charles Payne, of Wichita, Kansas, sends 

 out a circular stating that he is again in a
