RUSHTON 



CANOESf 



Pleasure and Health 



are obtained at one and the same 

 time by the fortunate owner of a 

 canoe. When the weather is so hot 

 that you can't do anything else out- 

 of-doors, you can keep cool on the 

 Water, in the shade, and spend the 

 afternoon in paddling, reading, or 

 sleeping. Canoeing is the easiest, 

 cleanest and quietest exercise — 

 adaptedfor ladiesas wellas gentlemen 

 Get a canoe right away for the rest 

 of this season. If you get a " Rushton" 

 it will last for many seasons to come. 



Send for my complete Catalogue of pleasure 

 boats, all-cedar and canvas-covered canoes, oars, 

 paddles, sails and fittings— free for the asking. 



J. H. RUSHTON, 817 Water St., Canton, N. Y. 



I am a lover of sports of all kinds and as 

 I do nearly all my hunting and fishing in 

 the magazines I know a good one when I 

 read it. I congratulate you on the excel- 

 lence of Recreation. I have read nearly 

 every sportsmen's periodical printed and find 

 more pleasure in Recreation than in any 

 other.

If by some fairy wisdom 

 You were turned into 1 an eel, 



I'd love you just as dearly 

 With all my present zeal.

 Should, with the same endeavor, 



Change you into an octopus 

 I'd love you more than ever.

 that. Suppose I begin by trying to make 

 yours? — New Yorker.
