Hi 



RECREATIOX 



WHAT THEY THINK OF THE 

 BRISTOL ROD. 



I received the Bristol steel rod from the 

 Horton Mfg. Co.. in excellent condition and 

 it has proved the best rod I ever owned for 

 all around use. It seems as if the Yawmen 

 and Erbe reel you sent me and the rod 

 were made for each other. I have severe.;. 

 tested both, and rod and reel came out of 

 the fight looking for more. 



George Topel, Chicago, 111. 



I write to acknowledge receipt of. and to 

 thank you for. the splendid Bristol steel 

 rod you sent me. I was inclined at first 

 to regard it as a pretty toy. but since trying 

 it on a few large trout. I find it not only 

 a serviceable article, but the best and 

 strongest rod I ever saw. 



C. L. Moncure, Bastrop. Tex. 



I received the Bristol rod and have 



given it a fair trial on black bass. I find it 



O. K. Xo fisherman's outfit is complete 



without one. Please accept thanks for it. 



W. E. Brott, Owosso, Mich. 



I received the Bristol steel rod. It is the 

 finest and best balanced rod I have ever 

 seen, and I am not a novice. Many thanks 

 for your kindness and prompt attention. 

 H. B. Harmer. Ashbourne. Pa. 



I received the Horton rod you sent me 

 as premium in good condition. The Hor- 

 ton Mfg. Co. deserves credit for the way 

 it packs goods for shipment. 



E. Brady. Emporium. Pa. 



Accept my sincere thanks for the Bris- 

 tol rod you gave me as premium for a club 

 of subscribers to Recreation. The rod is 

 satisfactory in everv way. 



C. B. Bleibel, Denver. Colo. 



Have received 5 Horton rods as premi- 

 ums for subscriptions. Have thoroughly 

 tested them and find them far ahead of 

 any split bamboo rod. C. Arnett.
