MISCluLLAXEOUS IMPLEMENTS. 137 



of any length. The frames and bars arc placed opposite to 

 each other on tin; two sides of the leaf and riveted firmly 

 together. The spiral spring page holds a dozen, and the 

 flat spring page two dozen flies. Between the fly-leaves 

 are leaves of leather and absorbent material. The books 

 are strongly and neatly made of leather, and have pockets 

 for leaders and snelled hooks, and are closed by durable 

 spring catches. 



Wni. Mills & Son's patent fly-book, the " Levison," is 

 made of fine leather iu the usual style, with pockets and 

 metal clasp, in a first-class and durable manner throughout. 

 The flies are adjusted by means of slotted hooks at one end 

 and neat spiral springs at the other. By means of the 

 slotted hook, snells with a knot, instead of a loop, can be 

 as readily attached as the looped snell. The snells are kept 

 perfectly straight and at full length by this method, and 

 any fly can be removed without disturbing the others. The 

 pages are arranged for both Black Bass and trout flies. 



Abbie & Imbrie's patent clip fly-book is substantially 

 made in several diff"erent sizes and styles, with leader 

 pockets and felt leaves for absorbing moisture from wet 

 flies. The flies and snells are attached at full length by the 

 patent clips at the top and bottom of the pages, and very 

 short snells are secured by parchment bands. The leaves 

 are formed of double parchment neatly stitched along the 

 edges. In addition to leader pockets, there are smaller 

 ones for short-looped flies. The books are made entirely 

 of leather and parchment, with an improved form of clasp. 

 Mr. Imbrie also makes the " Endicott " book, on the spiral 

 spring and patent clip principle, in addition to other styles 

 of fly-books.
