If every time Forest and Stream came to you, you could turn to THE TRADING POST 
and know that an expert shopper was ready to buy for you anything you might desiie in 
the way of really new practical sporting goods, wouldn’t that be a real service? 
“BOB WHITE,” who conducts this department for Forest and Stream, will gladly answer 
all inquiries and attend promptly to all orders. 
Remember this service is absolutely free of charge; all we desire is to be of service to our 
readers. Here are a few suggestions for practical outdoor equipment.

you have been looking for, for a 
long time. It consists of a leader 
box and a box for dry flies com¬ 
bined. It is guaranteed to keep 
your flies dry and your leaders 
from becoming entangled. Price

ingly perfectly adapted for the cigarette

For fly fishing, the split bamboo rod shown, known 
as the "Victory,” shows particularly fine action for 
an inexpensive rod, and is acknowledged by fly fish¬ 
ermen to be one of the most popular medium priced 
fly rods on the market. It comes in three pieces with 
extra tips, and put up in a bamboo case. Has German 
silver waterproof serrated ferrules, solid cork hand 
grasp, solid German silver reel seat, English make 
guides. Lengths, eight to ten feet; weights, three to 
seven ounces. Price $18.00. 
For the fisherman who carries his hooks around loose, we have a 
device known as the "temper saving device” that guarantees your 
hooks to be always just where you want them. It keeps the point 
of the hook always covered and the gut from getting entangled. This 
article costs 10 cents and gives $10.00 worth of satisfaction. "BOB 
WHITE” will be only too pleased to help a fellozv fisherman by pur¬ 
chasing this article for him. 
A revolving stool, something the fish¬ 
erman has been looking for and bee J 
unable to find. Fishermen 
place this stool at the side of the stream 
and without changing your position, you can 
cast your line in any direction, simply by 
turning to the right or left. This 
stool is guaranteed to carry three 
hundred pounds, and can be folded 
up into a compact roll. Most con¬ 
venient for artists and auto mo bilists.

two blades, leather punch, corkscrew, bottle opener, screwdriver and a ring for a chain.

Cosmopolitan Trout and Bass hooks are sure fire. They are claimed as the hook that 
never misses a strike. The wire is small but very strong, even in the small sizes. The barb 
comes very near to the bend of the hook, holding the fish well against the barb and prevents 
its tearing out. In single gut, sizes one to six, $0.30; double gut, $0.40. 
When all is still and quiet, there is 
nothing that gives such solace to the fisher¬ 
man, beginner or old timer, as a good smoke, whether 
cigar, cigarette or pipe. Each has his own individual 
taste, but to the pipe smoking Sportsman, we offer this 
little beauty, a combination pipe and cleaner for 
$.50. One tzirist of the mouth piece cleans the pipe, 
keeping it sweet, free from odor and sanitary. A 
full size Briar pipe, nickel band and solid rubber 
mouth piece.
