Five generations of anglers have used Abbey & 
Imbrie tackle and made their fishing trips more en¬ 
joyable through the reliability of “Fishing Tackle 
that’s Fit for Fishing.” 
During this century of specializing in good tackle 
we have constantly kept pace with new angling ex¬ 
perience and methods, and to-day’s wide apprecia¬ 
tion of Abbey & Imbrie tackle is due to the high 
standard set a hundred years ago and maintained 
since in both quality of material and workmanship 
and progressiveness of design.

tackle. Catalog of 16,400 items on re¬ 
ceipt of 10 cents to partly cover expense.

THE MONSTER BEAR 
OF ALASKA 
(Continued from page 5) 
Those are the breaks of the game which 
we who have done a good deal of hunt¬ 
ing often experience. 
On the following morning we were 
off at 7 o’clock and at 8.30 had reached 
the top, occasionally losing, and again 
picking up the trail where the snow had 
not been swept off by the wind but 
finally losing out when we ran into a 
lot of loose rock. We gave the other 
side of the valley and mountain a good 
combing over with the glasses, and could 
see nothing of our brown friends. We 
were just about to go on when I saw 
a dark spot on the snow, and told Oscar 
to put the glasses on it and see if that 
“rock” was alive. With an exclamation 
of delight he said, “That’s our bear.” 
We sat down and discussed the best 
way to get to him, as he was some 600 
to 700 yards away, but very difficult to 
approach. If we started right down for 
him it meant not alone a rather danger¬ 
ous descent, but also a noisy one, as the 
footing consisted of loose rock which 
gave way at each step and rolled down 
ahead of us; so we decided to go along 
the top until we could find a place fur¬ 
ther away from him, so when we did 
dislodge any rocks, he would not hear 
them. 
Finally after two attempts at other 
places we found one we could get down, 
and managed to reach the valley. It was 
9 o’clock when we first saw him, and at 
12 o’clock we had our position below 
him and figured that in about twenty to 
thirty minutes we could make our climb 
and get a chance for a shot, although 
it would have to be quick work. We 
could not reach him excepting to wind¬ 
ward, and we figured we could approach 
to within about 200 yards before he 
could scent us. We had just started to 
make our final climb, when he decided 
he had slept long enough, and got up 
and leisurely started in the direction to¬ 
ward where we had first seen him that 
morning. Had we remained where we 
were when we first saw him I would 
have had a nice shot within about 200

He was in no hurry at all as he went 
on his way, stopping at a large boulder 
to take a rub. After that he climbed 
the boulder, sat down and took a good 
look all around, but that did not grant 
him much safety as the eye of the big 
brown fellow is none too keen, although 
he makes up for it by being endowed 
with a wonderfully developed nose. 
He finally started to feed and work 
toward the head of the range which 
ended about two miles beyond. We 
made up our minds we had to beat him 
to the point, for if he reached there first 
the wind would then be from us to him, 
and it would be a repetition of the 
previous day. 
We were never more than 500 to 1000 
yards away from him, but Oscar assured 
me that he would not see us, although
