I am more than pleased with Recreation. 

 It is the best sportsmen's periodical I ever 

 saw. I like the way you score the game 

 hogs. They are not decent men ; give it to 

 them. 



A. L. Belch, Mannington, W. Va. 



I enjoy the way you roast. the game hogs. 

 We have a few here, but they are getting 

 ashamed of themselves. I have been a 

 reader of Recreation over 2 years and wait 

 anxiously for it every month. 



W. H. Adams, Sharpsville, Pa. 



You are doing a splendid work, and one 

 all decent sportsmen appreciate highly. 

 Keep it up. Good luck to you. 



C. L. Wilson, Philadelphia, Pa. 



I enjoy reading Recreation 'more than 

 any other magazine I take, especially the 

 gun and natural history departments. May 

 you live long to continue your good work. 

 Henry Radcliffe, Saypo, Mont. 



Your magazine is the leading sports- 

 men's periodical, and I am highly in 

 favor of your position in relation to the 

 game hog. The camera is a great agent in 

 promoting a healthy spirit toward -game 

 protection. '- ■■' 



D. E. Heywood, Rangeley, Me. 



My brother and I take Recreation, and 

 it is the magazine for real sportsmen. I ad- 

 mire your stand against game hogs and re- 

 peating shot guns. 



C. M. Brown, Ocotlan, Oaxaca, Mexico. 



I have been a reader of Recreation some 

 time. Am much interested in the guns and 

 ammunition department; also in the roast- 

 ing of game hogs and the stand you take 

 against the automatic gun. I sincerely hope 

 you will be successful in the death of both.

The Northwestern School of Taxidermy 



Suite A, Com. National Bank - Omaha, Neb. 



The only School of Taxidermy in the World. 



Mongolian pheasant shooting has not been 

 a success this year. Birds are scarce. 

 Sportsmen blame the farmers for hunting 

 out of season, but I think it is a case of 

 6 of one and half a dozen of the other. 

 Most of our sportsmen go out and kill 75 

 to 100 ducks each, fro-m Saturday till Sun- 

 day night, and then sell them in the market ; 

 so I have little sympathy for these men if 

 they don't get good pheasant shooting.

Blauvelt Knitting Co., Newark, N. J., 



Dear Sirs, A number of members of our 

 gun club saw me use my coat at several 

 shoots last spring and were much pleased 

 with it. They said it was the best coat they 

 had ever seen, combining warmth, comfort 

 and neatness. They want me to get a price 

 on 22 coats same color and the same in 

 every detail. Yours truly, 



Chas. Smith, Newark, N. J.
