RECREATION. 



Folding Canvas Boats 



were not satisfactory until the 



II -foot Special 



was produced. It's a revelation 

 in boat construction, nothing 

 like it ever made. Nonsinkable 

 Cant tip over. Puncture Proof 

 wear longer than a wooden boat. 

 No repairs. No cost for storage, 

 always ready, folds into a small 

 neat package, carry by hand* 

 used by the U. S. Navy. They are simple, wonderful. A thoroughly 

 patented article. Beware of imitations. Made only by ourselves. A cat- 

 alog of IOO engravings and 400 testimonials sent on receipt of 6 cents. 



Bottom Boards rest on the frame, not on the canvas, ribbed longitu- 

 dinally and diagonally. They are stiffer and safer than a Woode r Boat 

 because the lines are fuller, and are much easier to row or paddle.

PHOTOGRAPHERS. 



If you want a bromide enlargement of 

 any of your photos which you prize highly 

 I will make one, enlarged from your nega- 

 tive, to 10x12 inches, and mount same on a 

 14x17 card for 2 new yearly subscriptions 

 to Recreation. Or I will make 2 of the 

 same size, from the same or different nega- 

 tives, for 3 new subscriptions. 



Why not have your prize choice pictures 

 enlarged to a size suitable for framing, when 

 you can have it done free ? Send draft to 

 me made payable to G. O. Shields, and your 

 negatives carefully packed, and I will send 

 the enlargements promptly.

The beggar approached the bald man, 

 who was enjoying his after dinner cigar on 

 the veranda. 



"Please, sir," said the mendicant, "have 

 you a copper you could spare?" 



"Sure," replied the man behind the weed. 

 "You'll find him on the back porch making 

 love to the cook." — Chicago News. 



The Harrington & Richardson revolver 

 you sent me as a premium is a handsome 

 little weapon and I thank you very much 

 for it. I like it so well that I am going to 

 get up another club of subscribers for you.

A certain young man of great gumption 

 'Mongst cannibals had the presumption 



To go — but alack, 



He never came back; 

 They say t'was a case of consumption.

I am in receipt of the Bristol steel rod 

 received through the premium list of Rec-

 and I am more than satisfied.
