"DOWAGIAC" T 



Artificial Minnow 



IF LIVE BAIT will 

 ever catch more fish 

 than a "Dowagiac" 

 artificial minnow, it 

 is the exception. 19 

 times out of 

 20, game 

 fish 'strike' 

 only to at- 

 tack the 

 lure. 



A piece of painted wood with a fish-hook attached is not a criterion for artificial bait. '"Dowagiac'' baits are the 

 result of many years' experience of practical bait casters. Every detail has been carefully worked out and that is 

 why the "Dowagiac'' minnow will land your fish at a time when he would slip off the other fellow's bait. 

 "Drop a line" to us and catch one of our booklets showing our minnows printed up in their natural colors. 



MORE "DOWAOIAC" 

 BAITS are sold every 

 year than all other 

 Artificial Casting 

 Baits combined.

 somer and more perfect In 

 coimtruction than ever
