TEST FOR YOURSELF 
Mix the best cocktail you know 
how — test it side by side with a 
Club Cocktail 
No matter how good a Cocktail 
you make you will notice a smooth¬ 
ness and mellowness in the Club 
Cocktail that your own lacks. 
Club Cocktails after accurate 
blending of choice liquors obtain 
their delicious flavor and delicate 
aroma by ageing its wood before 
bottling. A new cocktail can 
never have the flavor of an aged 
cocktail.

standard blends, bottled, ready

The Angler’s Workshop 
RODMAKING FOR BEGINNERS 
“By Ferry D. Frazer 
Every practical angler has some room, or corner of a 
room, that he calls his workshop, and he obtains almost 
as much pleasure in working in it during the winter as 
he derives from his summer’s fishing. He may not 
make rods, but he likes to “fuss over them,” altering 
them to suit his pet ideas, making necessary repairs or 
renewing frayed windings. Others, who have a few suit¬ 
able tools—and very few are needed—make excellent fish¬ 
ing rods. It is really surprising how many such rods 
have been produced in this way since Mr. Frazer’s book 
has been on the market. 
“Rodmaking for Beginners’ was not “written over 
the heads” of beginners. Anybody who knows how to 
manipulate a plane can follow the instructions, and every 
old angler finds useful hints in it. 
Besides being the first book on practical split-bamboo 
rodmaking, it contains chapters on rods of all sorts, for 
fresh and salt water fishing, and is of value in repair 
work. 
Cloth, 180 pages, several full-page illustrations and 60 
working drawings. Postpaid, $1.00.
