all need “3 in One” oil. It makes reels run right 
—ALWAYS. No sticking, no jerking, no back- 
lashing. Just an easy, steady action that feeds or 
reels the line evenly, smoothly at any speed. 
”3 in One” prevents rust on steel rods, prevents 
cracking of cane or bamboo rods and makes all joints 
fit snugly. Makes silk or linen lines stronger and 
last longer. Prevents twisting and tangling. 
Try ”3 in One*’ yourself at our expense. 
Write at once for sample bottle and book¬ 
let—both free. Library Slip in every package.
