OSMIC Rods approach as nearly an ideal standard as mechanical skill, and a practical 
K knowledge of an angler’s needs, can produce. 
The Bamboo is of the finest quality, specially selected for us by experts in Calcutta, 
and is of our own direct importation. Our Patent Ferrules are absolutely non-breakable at the 
joint. Best German Silver. 
We call particular attention to the mechanical principle of our Kosmic Ferrules. Rods 
break most frequently at the point where the wood enters the ferrule. When the diameter of a 
joint is reduced to enter the smaller diameter of the ferrule, its strength is lessened qo per cent. 
In the Kosmic ferrules this objection has beenentirely overcome. There is no reduction in 
the size, or change in the shape of the wood, until it has passed a full half inch into the 
ferrules. (See Figures 1 and 2. ; 
An elastic Celluloid Band (Fig. 1) re-inforces the bamboo and extends inside the ferrule to 
Fig. 2, producing a Very Strong and Flexible End. ‘The point of greatest strain (between 
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) thus becomes ¢he strongest part of the rod, and it cannot break at this point. 
We guarantee every rod. Fig. 3 represents our patent Waterproof Cap, which prevents the 
entrance of water into the joint.
