The bottom is partitioned for twelve lures. (It is 

 never the part of wisdom to place two "plugs" in the 

 same section, for the far-famed love of Damon and 

 Pythias is as nothing when compared with the af-

 paragraph, you can select anything that you desire, 

 almost. In tin they range in price, according to 

 size and finish, from 50 cents up to $8.00, or there-

 two rods like the one mentioned above any rod 

 with joints under 19 inches and one small com- 

 partment, 4^4 x 2^4, with tray. The only fault I can
