 size, thus preventing rod breaking where wood and ferrules join. Metal Tennons which prevent joints 

 getting stuck together. The entire rod is made from the best selected lancewood, left natural color, 

 varnished and poUshed. This makes a handsome finish, and is less liable to be seen by the \faryflsh

 the appearance, but also the feeling of the high priced rods. The complete rod has a look of beaut;^ 

 which is a joy to every fisherman's heart while using it. It is well and neatly ringed througho ut, and 

 has an extra' winding between each ring. There has been so many rods made of an inferior quality 

 that resemble this, that aU from this date will have stamped on reel plate "W. H. Gruttenden," and noae 

 genuine unless so stamped. Length, lOJ^ft; weight, OVt to lOozs. All the parts are interchangea ble, and 

 if, by accident, any part should get broken, can send duplicate without rod being returned. The best 

 made rod in the United States, and we will guarantee it in every way. With short tip it makes an excel- 

 leht bass rod. Sent to any part of U. S. in case, 1 oass, 1 trout tip, prepaid, for $5.35; bass ti ps, $1.00;
