between the plates. They are made of 
aluminum alloy, in a gunmetal finish. 
The price is $5.00. 
For bait fishing we found in one shop 
what they call—and what we believe to be 
—a “Perfect” trout hook. It is made of 
a very light wire, hand-forged like the 
O’Shaughnessey, with a short shank and 
comes in a single gut with an offset barb, 
at 60 cents per dozen. For bait fishing 
these hooks will appeal to every user. 
Here is a new 
leader box, made 
of aluminum rub- 
beroid, with pads 
of felt. They are 
light in weight 
and can be fur¬ 
nished for fifty 
cents. This is about the latest thing in 
leader boxes, and is in a different class 
from the cheap tin and aluminum boxes 
on the market. 
In selecting the proper lines to use in 
different styles of fishing, the length and 
weight of the rod should be considered 
—for fly casting particularly, the line 
should fit the rod. We have found and 
thoroughly tested a line known as the 
Imperatrix, a level line, which comes in 
25-yard lengths, in two sizes —F at $2.00 
and G at $1.75. These lines are braided 
solid from the fine silk, and are perfect 
in make and finish. The enamel will not 
chip off, which should commend them to 
critical anglers who desire a fine smooth 
casting line. 
If you are caught in the rain—and they 
say fishing is best during Spring showers 
—you can get a lot of comfort out of what 
one shop calls its Fairy fishing shirt. It is 
made of the finest cambric sheeting, wil¬ 
low green in color, coated with pure Para 
rubber gum, only weighs 20 oz., and rolls 
up small enough for the pocket or the 
fishing creel. When it rains, pull it on 
over the head as a shirt—it ties at the 
neck, with elastic wrists, and drops to the 
knees. The price is $6.50. Small, me¬ 
dium or large sizes should be mentioned 
when ordering.

The Material Advantages of 
Goodyear Cords 
Many motorists tell us that once 
a man uses Goodyear Cord Tires 
on his car, he will no more go 
back to the fabric kind than he 
would to driving a horse. 
They say the additional comfort 
and riding ease delivered by 
these flexible tires forever spoil 
one for the earlier stiff type. 
Perhaps they exaggerate some¬ 
what, out of an excess of enthu¬ 
siasm; or again, perhaps not. 
Certainly Goodyear Cords are 
much spryer and livelier than 
ordinary tires. 
But even if they were not, and 
were merely equal in comfort 
to others, there would still be 
reason for preferring them. 
For the extra mileages they de¬ 
liver, the extra speed they give 
your car, the extra distances they 
exact from fuel, the freedom 
from trouble they insure—these 
are material advantages of dol- 
lars-and-cents value. 
Altogether, they make the higher 
price of Good year Cords the part 
of economy, and the tires them¬ 
selves the quality product of the 
tire industry.

The fly book illustrated is the handiest 
little book we have ever seen. Has pig¬ 
skin cover, and con¬ 
tains six transparent / 
easily selected. It comes in a vest-pocket 
size, closes with a snap fastener. The 
price is $2.10. 
The final operation in fishing is landing 
the fish, and one of the most necessary 
items in an angler’s equipment is the land¬ 
ing net. There are probably more useless 
landing nets on the market than any other 
part of a fisherman’s outfit. The little 
landing net that we are illustrating is a 
bulley little net for trout fishing, known as 
the Beaverkill. It weighs 4oz., is 20 
in. long, with a 10 by 8 in. ring, a steam- 
bent hickory frame, cord-wound handle 
well varnished, and fitted with a simplex 
aluminum snap catch. The price is $1.50.
