Twelve Recreations 

 a Year as a Christinas 

 Gift to Yourself. 



There are at least three reasons why 

 Recreation will hold your interest. 



I. It is the most helpful Sportsman's magazine. Its whole aim is service. 



It will save you money and add to the efficiency of your sport. Its editorial 

 staff will answer personal letters on knotty points. It is an Institution, not 

 merely a magazine. 



" And so the Saturday afternoon or holiday, became the day toward which we 

 looked with pleasure, because there was going to be a hike." J. C. Elsom, M.D., 

 in "The Sport of Hiking." December RECREATION. 



II. It is authoritative. Advice or counsel offered by RECREATION 



is always offered by men who have "been there" and "know how." 



"There are just three families of trees that have opposite leaves: the maples, ashes 

 and horse chestnuts.' — Leonard Dewitt Sherman in "The Campers School of 

 the Tree." From December RECREATION. 



III. It is most attractive, printed throughout on coated paper. Its large 

 size makes possible the most beautiful and startling photos of actual scenes 

 in the sport of men who have "been there." 



December RECREATION has a number of full page plates from most unusual 

 and beautiful photographs of outdoor subjects.
