ANGLING REQUISITES, FOB SEASON 1887. 35 



" Kinder Bank, Hayfield, near Stockport, 



" November lyth, 1885. 

 " Dear Sirs, 



" Re your ' Acme Line,' it is, indeed, all that can be 

 required. I thought I could throw a line as well and as clean as 

 most people before, but I was certainly surprised at myself with 

 the ' Acme.' I was fishing mostly against the wind when I found 

 it invaluable. Another property I found was that, in casting 

 across a stream to the other side, the line appeared to cut the 

 stream and to allow the cast of flies to float, instead of, as usual, 

 the water pulling the line at once, and consequently dragging the 

 flies with it. I shall never fish with any other line. 



" Yours truly, 

 " Messrs. Foster Bros." " WM. P. GIBB. 



" Haughton-le-Skerne, 



"July Qth, 1884. 



" I was lately trying your ' Acme Line ' against an ordinary 

 hair and silk line, and found that the result was greatly in favour 

 of the * Acme.' I made the trial on a gravel walk, and found that 

 with the ' Acme ' I could throw much straighter and much further 

 with a shorter length of line out.

" I shall shortly be getting some more of your beautiful 

 line. I have for years been in search of a good spinning line, and 

 though I tried all the most expensive kinds, none of them stood a 

 month's work. Yours, after all last season, is as good as ever, and 

 will begin again this day fortnight, weather permitting. Mr. G. 

 Fish bourne is quite as well pleased with his. 



"FRANCIS FISHBOURNE."
