For the little .22, be sure to get the best 

 ammunition obtainable. The .22 Long Rifle 

 cartridge is a truly wonderful cartridge, if 

 properly loaded, and you owe it to your rifle, if 

 it be a good one, to test it well with this cart- 

 ridge. To be sure, get a box of U. M. C.'s. 

 You can get a lot of interesting and useful data 

 by asking the Union Metallic Cartridge Com- 

 pany, 313 Broadway, N. Y., for the 1906 ammu- 

 nition list. Mention Recreation. 



The Detroit Boat Company, Detroit, Mich., 

 purchased the factory recently vacated by the 

 Olds Motor Works, makers of Oldsmobiles, 

 upon the removal of that concern to Lansing. 

 This gives the boat company a factory floor 

 space of four acres, enabling it to turn out an 

 unlimited stock of canoes, boats, launches, etc. 

 This company builds a 20-foot power canoe, 

 which is not an ordinary paddling canoe with a 

 motor installed, but a practical power boat that 

 for speed, seaworthiness and grace is hard to beat. 

 Catalogues will be mailed free if mention is 

 made of this magazine. Address 1280 Jefferson 

 Avenue, Detroit, Mich.

Recreation has advertised Korona cameras

 facturers some way to make them better. You

 styles of motor boats illustrated (from actual 

 photographs) and described. If you are inter- 

 ested in boats you should get a copy. Address 

 The Truscott Boat Manufacturing Company, 

 St. Joseph, Mich., and mention Recreation. 



Marble's safety carver may be justly described 

 as an "eight-inch pocket knife," for when 

 folded it is absolutely safe and occupies a space 

 of only 5-16 inch thick by 8 inches long. It 

 weighs only 4 ounces. The blade is of razor 

 steel. The U-shaped handle sections are of 

 German silver, heavily reinforced at end where 

 blade bears on them. When open the knife is 

 as rigid as a one-piece knife. Boiling water 

 cannot injure this handle. The knife may be 

 quickly and easily closed by pushing back the 

 clasp, grasping the sides of the blade with one 

 hand and with the other pulling the outer 

 handle down and back ; then the blade is folded 

 and the clasp pushed over it. Many guides 

 have seen this knife and all claim it fills to 

 perfection a long felt want. The Marble Com- 

 pany makes a safety saw with 8-inch blade on
