When a sportsman finds anything which adds to his 

 pleasure, without increasing his labor, he wants all his 

 brother hunters and anglers to know of it and share 

 with him the newly discovered "helper." 



WHAT WE CLAIM FOR 



The Automatic Reel. 



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

 as fas 1 as any other reel in the world. 



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

 angler chooses. 



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



Fotjbth. — It will save more fish than any otber 

 reel. 



Fifth. It will prevent tips, lines and snells 

 from being broken by large fish. 



Sixth.— It enables the angler, and makes it 

 desirable, to use lighter tackle. 



These claims have been substantiated by the 

 most skillful fishermen in America and Europe. 



The reel is manipulated en- 

 tirely by the hand that holds 

 the rod.
