FOREST AND STREAM. 



When a sp«rteman finds anything which adds to his 

 jleasure, without Increasing his labor, he wants all his 

 rother hunters and anglers to know of it and share 

 rith him the newly discovered "helper." 



WHAT WE CLAIM FOR 



The Automatic Reel 



First.— It will wind up the line a hundred times 

 us fast as any other reel in the world. 



Secowd.— It will wind up the line slowly if the 

 MJgler chooses. 



Third —No fish can ever get slack line with it. 



FouRffH. — It will save more fish than any other 



Fifth. It will prevent tips, lines and snells 

 from being broken by large fish. 



Sixth.— It enables the angler, and makes it 

 Jesirable, to use lighter tackle. 



These claims have heen substantiated by the 

 most skillful fishermen in America and Europe. 



The r^el is manipulated en- 

 *ir>lv by the band that holds 

 [the rod.

THE FINEST 



Black Bass 



AND 



Brook Troot 



Waters within easy reach of sportsmen are the 

 streams along the line of the 



Baltimore and 

 Ohio Railroad. 



On the eastern slope of the Alleghany Moun- 

 tains are the Potomac, the Shenandoah and their 

 tributaries, all famous for Bass, while across the 

 divide are the Cheat, the Youghiogheny and the 

 Monongahela. The Cheat and the headwaters of 

 the last two named are celebrated for Brook 

 Trout. The fishing grounds are in most eases 

 within gunshot of the railroad stations, and 

 sportsmen are saved the expense and trouble of 

 carrying their outfits long distances.
