Large or Small Mouth Black Bass This Year? 



I want every enthusiastic fisherman, whether amateur, beginner 

 or professional to have a personal knowledge of the fine points of 

 the Shakespeare Reels and the marvelous 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 fishing 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., 244 Shakespeare Bldg. , Kalamazoo, Mich. The Shakespeare 

 Reel is specially designed for accurate and long-distance casting, 

 and it is without doubt the best reel in the world, and you will say 

 so when you see it. The metal used in the manufacture of the 

 Shakespeare Reel is hard-drawn brass and the finest English Stubbs 

 steel — the best obtainable. Painstaking care is used to secure per- 

 fect accuracy in every detail. In beauty of design, and simplicity 

 of construction it is unequaled. 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 useful- 

 ness and 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 prepaid, for a free trial on your next fishing trip. The 

 Shakespeare Baits are really marvelous. With them the fisherman 

 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 Shakespeare offers $100 in prizes for the photograph and 

 authentic dimensions of the biggest large or small mouth bass caught 

 this year. Write to-day for particulars. His little booklets, 

 "How to Catch Bass," "Fine Points About Tackle" and "The Art 

 of Bait Casting' ' are free to every angler, Write to-day and send 

 your &am§ ^ ^dregs.
