PERSONALS 



Secretary Templeton, of "Forest and Stream" Club 

 says: "I take fish on your spinners when every other 

 kind of bait fails to get a strike. The 'P. & S.' won 

 the prizes at our annual contest for the largest fish 

 and best catches." 



Secretary Clark, of the "Merrimack"' Club says: 

 "After taking a ^-pound and a 2%-pound brook trout 

 on your ball bearing 'A A' spinner, I loaned each of 

 the other three of the party (who Lad not had a strike' 

 my rod and spinner. Each one in turn took a trout and 

 the six weighed seven poui ds." 



Mr. Thielman, of St. Cloud, Minn., says: "You do 

 not lengthen the truth a particle when you say you 

 have the best bait in the world." 



Mr.Vane Simmonds, Charles City, la., says: "I can 

 tell true stories that are stranger than fiction, after 

 using your spinners — 47 fish weighing 162 pounds, deep 

 trolling." 



John Iffland, Newark, N. J., says: "We tested your 

 Ball Bearing Baits with many others, and while we 

 did not get a strike on any of the others, yours did 

 wonderful work." 



We have hundreds of these letters all singing the 

 same tune. Send a two-cent stamp for our elegant
