The following are a few extracts from letters from our own 

 correspondents, the originals of which can be seen on application ; 

 also from recently published letters : 



" Thornford, Sherborne, Dorset, 

 "Gentlemen, "September 22nd, 1885. 



" In the early spring I purchased from you one of your 

 ' Acme ' trout lines. I have given the line a very severe trial on 

 river and loch with fly, and even spinning. I have killed grilse 

 and heavy loch trout, and once a pike over 10 Ibs. on the line, 

 and I am satisfied there are no lines yet made to equal them. 

 11 Yours truly, 



' 'ALEX. D. CLAY, 

 " Messrs. Foster." " MAJOR-GENERAL. 



Extract from a letter published in the Fishing Gazette, March 

 3oth, 1886 : 



" On another occasion I landed a salmon with one of the 



lightest makes The 'Acme' line will go straight 



from the rod in the teeth of a gale ; and as for wear well, I'll 

 never, I believe, use any other now. I only wish these lines had 

 been known to me long ago, as they are simply perfection. I 

 prefer a line without any taper, and add a spliced taper gut cast 

 between the line and casting-line. If the tackle-maker who 

 supplies a line is a practical fisherman, and knows the strength of 

 your rod, he will easily give a proper weight of line to balance the 

 rod. You will never throw a bulky, heavy line with a supple 

 rod, nor a light line with a stiff rod. The * Acme ' supplies a 

 decided want weight and fineness combined, and a light rod can 

 be used with them. " I am, &c., 



"Bohally, Pitlochry." "JAMES MACNEE. 



"21, South Sutton Place, Cardiff. 



" The ' Acme Line ' I find as good as I was led to suppose 

 it would be. There is no difficulty now in getting a straight line 

 on the water. 



"April 22, 1883." " W. H. BURROW.
