To the Fisherman Who Knows: 
Fishing rods may be bought from 75c. to $30.00, the first price 
being too low to expect any real worth and the latter price repre¬ 
senting a fictitious value. Many pay $30.00, however, for fear they 
won t get the best, and the object of this advertisement is to request 
the privilege of showing 
THE ORVIS FLY ROD AT $15.00 
A better rod cannot be had, no matter what price you pay, and if 
you want the same quality with not quite so fine a finish and heavier 
by perhaps an ounce, the $10.00 'Orvis” is recommended. We 
sell other good rods at $5.00, or even less, and fair quality rods at 
$1.00. So, fisherman, no matter what the size of your pocketbook, 
you will receive good value here.

The “Forest and Stream** 
TRAP SCORE BOOK 
meets the needs of gun clubs and shooters in every par¬ 
ticular. The 150 sheets are heavily ruled—an advantage 
all scorers will appreciate, particularly when working in 
a dim light. The horizontal spaces are numbered mom 
1 to 30. Broad perpendicular lines divide these into 
groups of six; thus the squads are distinguished at a 
glance. 
The paper manifolds easily, and carbon sheets are 
placed in the book for that purpose. 
It contains the American Shooting Association Rules 
for Live-Bird Shooting, for Double Live-Bird Shooting, 
for Inanimate Target Shooting; Hurlingham Revised 
Live-Bird Rules for single and double rises, and the 
Rose system of dividing purses. Price, $1.00.
