THE ACME 



METAL CENTRED LINES 



are the Finest and Best yet made. They are 

 the most Scientifically constructed Ely and 

 Spinning Lines ever introduced to the 

 Angling public. They are supplied on this 

 condition of purchase: Cash refunded or 

 duplicate line supplied if line be not deemed 

 satisfactory after twelve months' wear. 



Mr. WM. SENiORT(Angling) Editor of the Field, says : " My experience of the lines 

 with wire centre is quite another thing, and it is confined to the ' Acme ' of Messrs. 

 D. & W. H. Foster, of Ashbourne. ... I ordered a line that will do for li^ht 

 salmon or Pike Spinning (No. 1), and another for trout fishing (No 0). This was 

 two seasons ago. I have used both lines hard ever since, and they appear to be 

 quite good for the chances of 1886. They are, in short, the best lines I ever had."
