I want every enthusiastic fisherman, whe- 
ther amateur, beginner or professional, to 
have a personal knowledge of the fine points 
of the Shakespeare Reels and the marvel- 
ous catching qualities of the Shakespeare 

Baits—and to do this I propose to send to 
every man or woman who fishes for the 
real sport there is in it, one of my reels 
and baits for free trial on their next fish- 
ing trip. Write to-day. Send your name 
and address and the name and address of 
the leading sporting goods dealer of your 
city to Wm. Shakespeare, Jr., 404 Shake- 
speare Bldg., Kalamazoo, Mich. The Shake- 
speare Reel is especially designed for accu- 
rate and long-distance casting, and it is with- 
out doubt the best reel in the world, and you 
will say so when you see it. The metal 
used in the Shakespeare Reel is hard- 
drawn brass and the finest English Stubbs 
steel. Painstaking care is used to secure per- 
fect accuracy in every detail. In beauty of de- 
sign, and simplicity of construction it is un- 
equaled. Its easy, silent running suggests 
perpetual motion and it is fitted with the 
most perfect drag and click ever invented. 
Words will not describe its beauty, its use- 
fulness, nor its many advantages over all 
other reels. My reels and baits are for 
sale by all first-class dealers but I want you 
to see them and try them for yourself and 
I will send them to you direct, express pre- 
paid, for a.free trial. The Shakespeare Baits 
are really marvelous. With them the fish- 
erman is sure of a good catch, no matter 
where the fish are, in the lake or stream. 
If they are in deep water, Shakespeare 
makes the bait that attracts them. If they 
are in shallow water, Shakespeare makes the 
bait that catches them. If they are hidden 
in the lily pads or moss, Shakespeare makes 
the bait that makes them strike. And Shake- 
speare offers $100 in prizes for the photo- 
graph and authentic dimensions of the big- 
gest large or small mouth bass caught this 
year. Write to-day for particulars. His 
little booklets, “How to Catch Bass,” “Shake- 
speare Fine Fishing Tackle” and “The Art 
of Bait Casting,’ are free to every angler. 
Write to-day.
