Fishing Tackle Parlance 
Why buy the inferior grades of tackle when you 
can get the very best directly from the manu¬ 
facturer? We have specialized in High Grade 
Tackle since 1867. No diverting of energies 
among different kinds of merchandise—nothing 
but tackle. The result is the unquestioned 
superiority of our goods and they prove the 
truth of the contention that the highest efficiency 
is the result of specialization. If you do not 
know the E. vom Hofe Tackle our goods will 
be a revelation to you. If you do know the E. 
vom Hofe Tackle we need only tell you our 
splendid catalogue will be sent to any address 
upon receipt of 5c. in stamps to cover cost of 
mailing.

tion will donate numerous trophies to be competed 
for. 1 hese trophies will be well worth winning, and 
the winners will have the satisfaction of having some¬ 
thing besides cash to take home with them as proof 
that they have defeated “the best in the land at the 
greatest trapshooting Tournament in the world.” 
Ten Traps. 
To handle a Handicap Tournament, and handle it 
successfully, is always a difficult matter; sometimes 
the effort succeeds, more often it fails. It is with a 
direct knowledge of this condition of affairs, a knowl¬ 
edge born of experience, that ten (10) traps will be 
installed and the “Section System” slightly modified 
used. By using ten traps the management confidently 
believes that, barring inclement weather, it will be 
possible to finish each event on the day it is sched¬ 
uled to be shot with a total of 700 entrants. 
High Guns Win. 
Many suggestions were offered during the past year 
to The Interstate Association looking to a different 
system of dividing the moneys. All such sugges¬ 
tions, however, were rejected, the management of the 
Association preferring to stand by its colors, basing 
its belief in the soundness of its principle of “high 
guns to win” on the successes of the past.
