have a friend measure him and thus get a 

 good fit, even though ordering by mail. 



The book is sent free to any one asking 

 for it and mentioning Recreation. 



The Brotherhood Wine Co., which has 

 large vineyards and wine cellars at Wash- 

 ingtonville, N. Y. 3 and offices at Spring 

 and Washington Sts., New York City, is 

 making a line of fine champagnes, clarets 

 and other wines which are absolutely pure 

 and healthful, and which have as good 

 qualities in every way as any of the Euro- 

 pean wines. It is, therefore, to the interest 

 of persons who use wines to investigate 

 these American products. 



Brotherhood wines have recently been 

 awarded the Grand Prize at the St. Louis 

 World's Fair in competition with many of 

 the most popular brands of French and 

 Spanish wines. 



Americans should patronize American in- 

 dustries. 



McFadden & Son, of 1632 Champa street, 

 Denver, Colo., are old time taxidermists 

 and furriers, and are well known to thou- 

 sands of sportsmen in the West for whom 

 they have done good work. Their ad ap- 

 pears in this issue of Recreation, and any 

 man who has a good soecimen he wishes to 

 have mounted or who wishes to buy a rug, 

 a game head or any other article in that 

 line would do well to get a copy of McFad- 

 den's 32 page illustrated catalogue. When 

 writing for it please mention Recreation. 



Robin Hood Powder Co., Swanton, Vt., 

 Dear Sirs, The shells shipped me were 

 received in good shape and are much bet- 

 ter than those I tested 2 years ago. I like 

 them and will try to do you much good. 



I have 4 men in camp and yesterday 

 one man borrowed Robin Hood shells 

 from me to kill game, s-aying he could 

 not kill them with his powder as he saw 

 me killing right along.

The Savage Arms Co. has just placed on 

 the market a new rifle called their Special 

 Junior. It is the regular Junior rifle 

 equipped with a semi-fancy American wal- 

 nut stock, nicely checked by hand and fitted 

 with an ivory bead front sight. It is an 

 exceedingly handsome gun and should be a 

 quick seller for the holiday trade. The re- 

 tail price is $6. 



Marble Safety Axe Co., 

 Gladstone, Mich. 

 Dear Sirs : — I am pleased to see your ad- 

 vertisement in Recreation, as many think 



it a splendid magazine, although we have 

 those who would run us down. Quite a 

 number think it a poor magazine but they 

 are cranks whom no one could please. 



H. M. Briggs, York, Pa. 



The Ideal Manufacturing Co. sends out 

 a circular giving an enviable list of honors 

 won in the recent rifle tournament at Sea 

 Girt by contestants using ammunition re- 

 loaded by Ideal implements. Riflemen 

 who are desirous of knowing everything 

 about their chosen sport should write J. H. 

 Barlow, Manager, New Haven, Conn., for 

 copies of this circular. 



Messrs. Thomas B. Jeffrey & Co., of 

 Kenosha, Wis., manufacturers of Rambler 

 automobiles, have established a warehouse 

 at Nos. 1249-51 North 27th street, Phila- 

 delphia. This, in connection with their 

 Philadelphia branch office, places Messrs. 

 Jeffrey & Co. in a position to serve their 

 Eastern customers with additional prompt- 

 ness. 



Geneva, Nebr. 

 West End Furniture Co. 



Dear Sirs : — The gun cabinet arrived in 

 first class condition and I am well pleased 

 with it. It is as ornamental as it is useful 

 and I would not part with it for the price 

 paid. 



Yours respectfully, 



C. A. Thorpe. 



In the November number of Recreation 

 I printed an item calling the attention of 

 sportsmen to the ball bearing oarlocks which 

 are being manufactured by T. H. Gar- 

 rett, Jr., and endorsing them strongly, but 

 by mistake Mr. Garrett's address was given 

 as Albany, N. Y. It is Auburn, N. Y. 



Will you not kindly recommend 

 Recreation to all such of your 

 friends as are sportsmen? Send me 

 their names and addresses and I will 

 mail them sample copies. I need the 

 hearty co-operation and support of all 

 true sportsmen and nature lovers in 

 extending- the circulation of this mag- 

 azine. It is doing a great work in 

 preserving the game, the game fishes, 

 the song birds and the forests of this 

 country, and the more people it 

 reaches the greater good it can do. 

 Please do not forget to send me the 

 list of names.
