946 FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES. [122] 



Full-length Holberton fly-books — Continued. 



Advantages claimed for these books. — "Flies are kept separate, straight, 

 and at full length, so that the angler, when fishing, can attach 

 them at once to the leader. No woolen leaves to attract moths. 

 The finer qualities have a heavy blotting-paper leaf for drying 

 the flies, and all have pockets between each leaf. These books 

 have a greater capacity and are much less bulky than the old 

 ones. The clips are of spring brass and silver plated, and will 

 not tear out or come loose with ordinary use. These books 

 were invented by W. Holberton, and are now universally used, 

 and have been copied by all dealers."— (Holberton.)
