The Sport of Angling 
Angling is a fine art, the success- 
ful angler, an artist. When the sea- 
son opens he is ready with the 
tackle of his craft and casts his fly 
like a true sportsman. The hole in 
the meadow, the gurgling ripples on 
a mountain brook, and the dark, 
deep pool of a silent river, each and 
all hold a problem for the student 
fisherman. 
Your true angler is able to catch 
fish under most conditions and is 
equally able to refrain from catching 
too many. He purchases the most 
reliable tackle available — he weighs 
not the cost against the weight of 
his fish. Rod, line, leaders, and flies 
are the best he can afford and are 
always well cared for. 
The tackle department of the 
“Greatest Sporting Goods Store in 
the World” appeals to those who 
love their outfit and need the feel of 
satisfaction and completeness neces- 
sary to the angler who answers the 
call of the Red Gods of many waters.
