OSMIC Rods approachas nearly an ideal standard as mechanical skill, and a practical knowledge of an 
K 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 render these rods absolutely nonbreakable at the joint. Best German 
Silver Mountings. All Workmanship of the very best style. 
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 4o per cent. In the Kosmic ferrules this objection 
has been entirely 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, pro- 
ducing a Very Strong and Flexible End. The point of greatest strain (between Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) thus becomes Zhe 
strongest part of the rod, and it cannot break at this poin. We guarantee every rod. ig. 3 represents our 
patent Waterproof Cap, which prevents the entrance of water into the joint.
