The Best 
Angling Stories 
Ever Published 
C Most anglers have lived better stories of thg rod and reel than 
the literary men can produce. But they do not get into print. They 
go the rounds of a small and admiring coterie and finally give way 
to new narratives — never reaching thousands of eager sportsmen 
who would enjoy every word of them. 
«L With that thought in mind Abbey & Imbrie recently conducted 
a Fish Story Contest, which brought in 2980 manuscripts — from 
all States of the Union and points abroad. The prize-winning 
stories — chosen by the judges after long consideration, and certainly 
the best of their kind ever put on paper — make up a remarkable 
book which is now ready for distribution as a special feature of the 
Abbey & Imbrie Centennial. 
«L No such collection of fish stories has ever been offered to anglers 
before, because there never existed before such a wonderful assort- 
ment of tales to draw upon. All are crowded with action, with daring 
or amusing incidents. All are original. All are cleverly written. All 
are out-of-the-ordinary stories about angling — by anglers — for anglers. 
The Centennial price of the book is fifteen cents and it’s the biggest 
fifteen cents worth of its kind ever put between two covers!
