February, 1920 
Thousands of anglers a** over tne United 
States have had many a fine day’s sport 
because of this man’s devotion to the 
quality of their tackle. Perhaps you 
have never met him — but his intelli- 
gence and patience have invisibly con- 
tributed to your pleasure. He has been 
serving you through Abbey & Imbrie 
for 30 years. 
You can ' 1 1 have a Centenniel 
without quality. This is 
our 100th \ear 
The Tackle 
of Century-Proven Quality 
T here is a fine sense of security, a deep and abiding- 
satisfaction, in the knowledge that the Abbey & Imbrie 
tackle which you recognize as the market’s best today first 
estaolished its supremacy back in the period when Fulton was 
astounding the world with the daddy of all steamboats on the 
historic Hudson River. 
<J No weakness escapes Time. Only dominant merit, vigi- 
lantly maintained, can stand the test. So the Abbey & Imbrie 
record of a century’s successful service to anglers — as indicated 
by this Centennial year — is the strongest guarantee of quality 
you can possibly have when buying tackle. 
<]] The Abbey & Imbrie Centennial tackle line is in keeping 
with the importance of the occasion. It is broader than ever, 
featured by several new Centennial tackle originations of char- 
acteristic Abbey & Imbrie value and so arranged that it covers 
every imaginable need of anglers. Needless to say, the century- 
old standard of quality is scrupulously retained — and always 
will be kept in its high place. 
CJ When you see the Abbey & Imbrie trademark remember 
that it stands for one hundred years of tackle reliability, of pro- 
gressive designing, of cumulative knowledge, of pride and 
affectionate interest; that it is the sign of aline which has never 
disappointed an angler — and which never will.
