George Smith (chocolates) 3. **A large advertisement for Recreation magazine** (center/right), pitching annual subscription as a Christmas gift for outdoor sportsmen The Recreation ad uses testimonial quotes and emphasizes the magazine's authority ("men who have 'been there'"), attractive photography, and practical advice on hunting, hiking, and camping.
