LAST SUMMER 
Remember how j'ou got up in the half-light of the early morning, went out on the misty lake and heard the 
“plop” and “splash” of the hungry bass? Remember the thrill you got in the first “strike,” the vibrations that came 
along line and rod like electric currents from a living dynamo? 
Great, wasn’t it? Didn’t you feel bully when the bronze-backed beauty was YOURS — a prize worth winning? 
Going out again next Summer? Right-o! Another treat in store for you. 
Meek and 
Steel Fishing Rods 
Will be ready for you. The up-to-date fisherman, who 
w'ants the best there is in tackle, gets “Bristol” and 
Meek. You want the rod of super-strength and pliancy, 
the reel of super-accuracy. 
Say, what if your wife should get you “Bristol” and 
Meek for a Christmas present? Wouldn’t that make 
you love her a little bit more? It’s just like a woman 
to be so thoughtful. 
Perhaps you are already equipped for next Summer’s 
fishing, but your tackle needs some repairs. Send it in 
to us during the winter months, when immediate atten- 
tion may be given it. Don’t wait until Spring to order 
repairs or buy tackle. 
When you want “Bristol” Rods and Meek or Blue 
Grass Reels, we x-ecommend that you buy of your sport- 
ing goods dealer, but if he cannot supply you, or 
doesn’t seem anxious to do so, we will equip you at 
catalog prices. Accept no substitutes. “Bristol” and 
Meek illustrated catalog, mailed free on request, will 
show you there’s nothing as good.
