RECREATION'S ADVERTISE 



ALL high-class brokers collect testimonials by the barrelful. I am no exception. The clerk who 

 attends solely to my testimonial riling has now filled three large drawers of my Vilas-Diven 

 Company file cabinet — with several hundred thousand of the human race yet to be heard from. 

 CModesty forbids that I should blow my own Gabriel horn. Still, I cannot refrain from printing 

 one or two of these letters : 



Yonkers, New York, October 13th, 1905. 

 The bull terrier you sold me is a corker! We 

 haven't a chicken left on the place, and even tramps 

 are scarce in the neighborhood. Enclosed please 

 find Post Office order for $275, for which please 

 send me six (6) more, exactly like Ned. 



Patsy Barleycorn. 



Alexandria, Egypt, September 10th, 1905. 

 I can never thank you sufficiently. That 



spin in her the whole native population turns out en 

 masse. May your shadow never grow less. 



Ralph Trelawney. 



motor launch you sent me is the wonder and de- 

 light of all the descendants of Rameses the First, 

 surviving in this neighborhood. Whenever I go for a 



San Francisco, Cal., September 15th, 1905. 

 I cannot refrain from writing to you, and letting 

 you know that the bandolin mixture you recom- 

 mended for preventing my hair from getting out of 

 curl has been a godsend to me. You know that the 

 sea mist that comes in of an afternoon, through the 

 Golden Gate, is hard on a girl's bang; but since 

 you took the matter in hand I have had no further 

 trouble. Lucy Boscowitz.

T HAVE a fine L. C. Smith gun that I can sell for 

 a good deal less than cost. The manufacturers 

 of this gun won a gold medal at the Lewis & Clark 

 Exposition with just such a weapon as I am offering. 

 Now, when a company can take gold medals against 

 the keenest kind of competition, it shows they have 

 something away above the average. Opportunity 

 knocks once at every man's door.
