It will (and does) CATCH FISH, because it is scientific} 
constructed— built with a purpose. 
That purpose is the enabling of f ishermen-sportsinei 
enjoy the sport. 
The FREEPORT HOOK is made right, because I first 
trived it solely for my own use. 
It is hand-made, in all parts, from the best mater 
procurable— each HOOK tested to hold big fish. 
It is absolutely weedless and suag-proof—among 
pads, roots, logs or sunken tree-tops. 
Bait is always in natural position and motion— ant 
scientific color is a perfect, natural lure. 
If you want to know all about this scientific fish-h< 
that will catch fish, write for my handsome illustrated book
