Folding Canvas Boats 



were not satisfactory until the 



11 -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 Wooden Boat 

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

Tourist — And did the musical genius 

 born on this ranch finish his education in 

 Europe ? 



Borax Bob — No ; right here in Arizony. 

 He tried to convince some of the boys that 

 rag time warn't good music, an' they bur- 

 ied him an' his pianner together. — Judge. 



The way in which you call game hogs to 

 account meets with my approval, also the 

 manner in which you called C. S. Atkin- 

 son in the March number. No true 

 sportsman would sanction the production 

 of the new automatic shot gun.

T am a constant reader of Recreation 

 and get as much photo news from it as I 

 do from 2 other regular magazines on pho- 

 tography. 



Wm. H. Slocum, Peoria, 111. 



He was ashamed to go home empty 

 handed, so he stopped at a grocer's and 

 bought a rabbit. 



"Good luck!" he cried to his wife on his 

 return. "Look at the rabbit. See where 

 the bullet went through him." 



His wife took the rabbit, sniffed, grim- 

 aced and turned away. 



"You were wise, my dear," she said, "to 

 shoot this rabbit today. Tomorrow would 

 have been too late." — New York Tribune.
