30 POSTER'S LIST OF REFINED AND IMPROVED 



From " The Field," August itf/i, 1880. 



NEW FLY LINE, 



" The Messrs. Foster have sent us a specimen of their new trout 

 line ; this is the sixteen plait silk dressed line, with a very fine 

 annealed wire plaited through it. . . We therefore gave the 

 line a trial, and after an experience of several days' angling, we 

 find that the freedom from tangling is fully sustained, and it 

 becomes quite a relief to fish with. It is not appreciably heavier 

 than any other line, while it throws very straight and true, and 

 cuts well through the wind, capabilities which all anglers of any 

 experience know well how to appreciate. Of its -wear and tear 

 qualities, of course, we cannot speak without experience, but we 

 are informed they may be relied on. Altogether, so far as we 

 have tried it, the line is certainly an improvement, and if it stands 

 long use, it is a very great one." 



From " The Field" August i6t/i, 1884. 



" We have received from Messrs. Foster samples of the newest 

 ' Acme ' patent lines, which, as anglers who have used them well 

 know, consist of fine copper wire ingeniously worked into the silk. 

 The * Acme ' lines have been so long before the public, and their 

 merits have been so proven, that it is not necessary to make any 

 remark about the general article. Messrs. Foster, however, have 

 introduced into the market sixteen plait waterproof dressed lines 

 for both fly and spinning. These are of the ' Acme ' description, 

 and are, so far as we can judge from a casual trial, faultless." 



After twelve months' use of above, the same writer (W. Senior, 

 Esq., angling editor to journal last quoted), under date January 

 4th, 1886, writes: "I never had a better line than the new 

 * Acme ' you sent me."
