MISCELLANEOUS IMPLEMENTS. 345 



They are also furnished with boots attached, with cork or 

 rubber soles, and are very durable. 



No stream-fisher's outfit is complete ^vithout these con- 

 veniences, ^vhich are now made by the Goodyear Rubber 

 Manufocturing Company, perfectly reliable waterproof, 

 and fullv equal to the best English goods. The Mackin- 

 tosh goods of this Company are formed with a layer of solid 

 rubber between two outer layers of stockinet, or other 

 li.ht and porous cloth, rendering them light, pliable, proof 

 against cracking or breaking, and thoroughly waterproof. 



Rod and Reel Cases. 



Leather cases for the rod and reel are very convenient 

 and desirable articles, especially for the angling tourist 

 i .ood and highly-prized rod or reel should have the best 

 lave • and a rod, especially, is liable to serious injury when 

 protected only by a common canvas cover. 



Thompson & Son, 301 Broadway, New lork City the 

 ^vell known manufacturers of sportsmen's goods, make a 

 specialty of leather rod and reel cases. They are made of 

 Tavy bridle leather, with handle, and if required, a pad- 

 lock The rod cases are made to hold one or more rods. 

 To the angler who delights in completeness of outfit, I can 

 cheerfully recommend these useful articles. They will be 

 dulv appreciated by any angler who has ever n.ade an ex- 

 tended lip to the woods, lakes, or streams by the usual 

 - modes of conveyance.
