FOREST AND STREAM. 
201 
A COLD WINTER 
OFTEN 
MAKES 
AN 
EARLY 
SPRING. 
ND in the Spring man's fancy turns to thoughts 
of "fishing." To the man who loves the 
art of anghng, his tackle is of interest twelve 
months in the year — that is if it is good tackle. 
It is always before the fishing season opens that he 
begins to overhaul what he has on hand in antici- 
pation of joys to come. It is largely possible that 
the haunts of years before are to be forsaken and 
new territory invaded. This may mean different 
rods, different lines, different reels and different flies. 
We, as dealers, try and keep pace with the ever- 
changing thoughts of man, and are better than ever prepared to 
supply for this season the best goods that we have ever shown. 
Our Touradif Rod sells for $20.00 
and the Bic Rod for $15.00 
We positively guarantee every rod, and if any one should 
prove unsatisfactory, we will cheerfully refund the purchase price. 
We certainly could not afford to make this offer if we did not know 
what we were talking about. While rods are the principal article 
of every fisherman's cabinet, we have taken an equal amount of 
pains with the requisities that go with the rods. There is noth- 
ing that a man needs for fishing in any waters that we cannot 
mpply. 
We can furnish you with everything necessary 
for a trip to any part of the world. 
If you cannot call on us, send 10 cents for our 240 page 
catalogue. It contains many dollars' worth of information.
