New Minnow-Casting Reel, 



Our Imperial Steel Pivot Reel 



WITH INDEPENDENT SPOOL. 



Size JSTo. 3. 



We liave perfected and patented this simple device for throwing 

 a multiplying reel in and out of gear at will. 



In casting a minnow or other bait, more force has to he used than 

 really necessary to cast the halt, as so much of the power used is 

 absorbed in starting the handle running, which when started 

 causes the reel to overrun. 



This trouble is overcome by our device, which is applied by 

 simply pushing a IcA^er or index one way to ungear the reel, and 

 the reverse way to gear It for reeling in or playing the fish. 



This must commend itself to anglers for casting a long dis- 

 tance or for casting a light bait. 



Prices, . . $31.00 $19.50 $18.00 Each. 

 Sizes, ... 3 3 3/2 



100 75 yds. No. G. line. 



This improvement we are also applying to our New Salt- Water 

 Reels. Call and see them.

CANOE HANDLING. 



By C. B. VAUX ("DOT"). 



A complete manual for the management of a canoe. The author begins at the very 

 begiunmg, describes and explains the rudiments in the simplest and plainest way possible. 

 Everything is made intelligible for beginners: and besides this ABC teaching there are so 

 tnany hints and wrinkles that the oldest canoeist afloat will iind pleasure and profit in the 

 study of these. The book is complete and concise— no useless duffle between its covers. The 

 subjects treated are the choice of a canoe, paddling, sailing, care of tho canoe, recipes and 

 rules. The text is further elucidated by numerous practical drawings, and the beauty of the 

 book is enhanced by the many ornamental vignettes. iPages 168; uniform with "Canoe 

 Building." Price, postpaid, $1.00.

Glens Falls, N. Y., June 15, 1884. 

 Mr. A. S. Hinds, Portland, Me.: 



Dear Sib— I have not sooner acknowledged the 

 receipt of box of "Black-Fly Cream," as I desired 

 to first test it: this I have now done on two flshing 

 trips where I found the Mosquitoes, Black Flies, 

 Punkies and Moose or Deer Flies in great abundance. 

 Although all these pests swarmed about me, I found 

 the Cream a perfect preventive against their bites 

 when it was applied to face, hands, ears and neck. 

 For many years I have sought after the insect re- 



E client, and have tried all manner of compounds 

 ut yours is the most thorough, at the same time 

 cleanlj' and not disagreeable. 



Yours truly, A. Nelson Cheney.
