SECTION BAMBOO RODS. 



Having been the pioneers in the manufacture and introduction of Section Bamboo Rods, 

 taken °reat pride in secmt'ng and perfecting every improvement in order to maintain our position a 

 the very best rods. Kuowiog not. only theoretically, but also by long experience, that a properly made rtv" 

 is the only absolutely perfect! rod, we have invariably refused, and still do refuse, to put our nam 

 '■Best" round section rods. Our prices for these round rods average eriy-artsut _4P 



asked by any other makers, while the rods are widely known to be incomparably superior ri —s 



any angular) rod can be perfect, we long believed that with proper workmanship and materia! a realty good augtilar 

 rod could be made. Being much easier aud cheaper to make than round rods, we hoped to be able to offer to those 

 anglers whc. can not afford to pay the price of our "Best" round rods, a hexagonal rod that would lie good and 

 serviceable at a moderate price. We. are more than satisfied with the success which has attended our efforts, I'm we 

 are now able to furnish a hexagonal rod that is really -worth having, and at a price which is only a trifle iu ad vane- 

 of that asked by other makers. 



Orders received from anglers residing where the dealers keep a full line of our goods 



ivifl not he filled at any price,
