Last Call for the Best Sport 
Now for the big ones, fellows! They are challenging you from clear, cool depths. 
Listen! It’s the last call! There’s “Grand-daddy Muskie,” now. He’s laugh- 
ing at the fisherman who went before you. So is that old pike that has put on 
more weight during the past months. Yes, and the black bass, too. Every time 
he “ breaks,” he flirts his tail in open defiance of human skill and strategy. 
Don’t stand for anything like that. Hit the trail to the fisherman’s paradise. 
Get the joy of the Great Outdoors in the crisp, fresh days of autumn and bring 
home that venerable muskie, or that fighting pike, both victors in a score of bat- 
tles. Or get Mr. Black Bass — his insults deserve punishment. 
See the two men in the boat? They went after the big ones. They’ve got one 
and they’re having the time of their life. It’s the best sport in the world. Go 
after the big ones, fellows, but go prepared. Take with you “ Bristol ” Steel 
Fishing Rods and Meek and Blue Grass Reels. 
Say, did you ever lose a good fish because the rod or reel threw you down just 
when you needed their help? What did you say? Well, if you rely on 
“ Bristol ” and Meek or Blue Grass, you won’t lose your fish and you won’t lose 
your temper. 
“ Bristol ” Rods are light and pliant, but they have the strength that never fails. 
They are the ONE rod for the big ones. And there’s nothing that compares 
with Meek and Blue Grass Reels for thorough efficiency. 
We prefer that you get “ Bristol ” Steel Fishing Rods and Meek and Blue Grass 
Reels of your sporting goods store, but if your dealer cannot supply you 
promptly or doesn’t show a desire to do so, we will gladly fill your orders by 
mail at catalog prices. This is the day to write for “ Bristol ” and Meek illus- 
trated catalog.
