. 



I 



" We, the undersigned, herewith do engage to refund cash, or supply 

 new rod. if the Cane Built Rod, No. , fails to withstand any and 

 every fair angling test for two years from date of purchase. 



" Dated this day of 188 . 



(Signed) " D. & W. H. FOSTER." 



" Who could undertake, single-handed, to produce a glued-up Cane 

 Rod, with its multitudinous whippings, rings, varnish and ferrules, and, 

 as I have said, generally exquisite finish, for, say, three guineas ? Yet 

 such firms as Messrs. Allcock or Messrs. Foster, of Ashbourne, can, by 

 the perfection of their manual and machine labour, unendingly perform 

 more than this. They can produce tackle so that the London or pro- 

 vincial retailer can sell, with a profit, at the price named." From 

 *' How Fishing Tackle is "made," appearing in The Squire. 



AMERICAN MADE SPLIT OR 

 BUILT CANE RODS. 



FITTED WITH THE NEW SERRATED FERRULE 

 FOR JOINTS-MALLESON'S REGISTERED. 



Fig. A shows the serrated ferrule, as fixed before the silk bindings 

 are added. 



Fig. B. The ferrule in its finished state. 



It is a well-known fact that the early pattern of split cane rods failed 

 to merit satisfaction largely through the bad fitting and shape of the 

 joint ferrules. Our make of these rods are fitted with ferrules, hexa- 

 gonal shaped, to fit or cover over the cane without the most remote 

 chance of injury to the cane enamel or rind. The serrated ferrule 

 arrangement works equally satisfactory.
