 comes trolling along quietly on 

 the left side of the canoe toward 

 shore and the paddle, on the right 

 side away from the rod, line and 

 bait, makes very little fuss. 



This method is practical and lots 

 of fun. Try it out and see. 



AN INGENIOUS TACKLE 

 BOX 



BY C. M. MULL 

 The main idea in designing this 

 tackle box was to have my com- 

 plete outfit with me all the time, 

 strapped to me so that it was 

 easy to carry yet entirely out of 

 the way. At the same time the 

 contents of the box must be easy 



and six inches wide. The exact 

 size should, of course, be deter-

 of hardwood or a very good grade 

 of pattern lumber. The 'pattern 

 lumber will weigh the least. The 

 entire interior should be given 

 two or three coats of shellac. The 

 outside is intended to be covered 

 with a heavy water-resisting 

 brown canvas, fitted well to the 

 box and then put on with a heavy 

 coat of shellac. 



The drawers themselves have 

 several unusual features. First of 

 these is the sling that enables the 

 drawers to be pulled clear out and 

 rested horizontally on the top of 

 the box without falling off. The

 should be accessible without re-

The box as diagramed is about 

 one foot long, seven inches deep
