THE FAIRY" MINNOW. 



This is by far the best ai I iDcial minnow ever made. It 

 is a great improvement on the "Phantom," which has 

 long liuen considered the best of nil minnows. When put 

 into the water it almost immediately becomes us soft as 

 velvet, and as tough as leather, besides having the eiaet 

 }) appearance of a real minnow, even in the matter of 

 scales. Our Phantom has been imitated, and so, no 

 doubt, will this be. Anglers w ill linil mir name on every 

 box containing one of these minnows, Slid our well- 

 known trade mark on the card to which each minnow 

 is attached. 



The above minnow is No. T. The following are the various sizes we keep in stock.
