I have received the s + sel hunting boat 

 from the W. H. Mullins Boat Co., Salem, 

 Ohio, and the refrigerator basket from the 

 Burlington Basket Co., Burlington, Iowa, 

 and am highly pleased with both. They are 

 just what I want for both hunting and fish- 

 ing excursions, and should an opportunity 

 arise in future I shall be glad to place an 

 order for either concern. 



I thank you very much for your prompt- 

 ness in having my premium forwarded, and 

 I hope to send you another small subscrip- 

 tion list in the near future.

I am getting up another club for the 

 camp mattress, and it will include many of 

 my last year's subscribers. I had a pe- 

 culiar experience with Mr. Meyer, one of 

 my former subscribers. Last year when I 

 asked him to subscribe he said, "Yes, I 

 will give you a dollar, but it is simply a 

 donation for I shall never read the maga- 

 zine." Therefore I did not ask him to re- 

 new. He asked me what I was going to 

 try for this year, and I said a mattress. He 

 said if he had known I was getting up a 

 club he would gladly have given me his 

 name, as Recreation is the most instructive 

 and the best little magazine he had ever 

 read. He wanted it another year, so I took 

 his name, though my club was completed. 



Recreation has done this community a 

 lot of good. I have endorsed your senti- 

 ments everywhere, and I hear others doing 

 the same thing. Where we formerly saw 

 dozens going out to the lakes before the 

 season opened, now there is scarcely one 

 and we have no game wardens either. If 

 Recreation could get into all homes, we 

 should need no wardens. I confess I used 

 to be a hog at heart and the only thing that 

 kept me from being one in earnest was my 

 inability to get the game; but thanks to 

 Recreation, I am not one now in any re- 

 spect. J. N. Canover, Melrose, Minn.
