“Tipped the Scales at 11 lbs.!” 
The above snapshot comes from Mr. J. P. Wade, general agent for the 
Central R. R. of Georgia at Columbus, Ga. 
The “old-he” bass shown, Mr. Wade says, “tipped the scales at 11 pounds,” 
and after a squint at his length, breadth and general heftiness, I'll say that 
nobody would have to pour any birdshot down the throat of that old baby 
to make him register up in the double figures. And he was taken on the Shimmy 
Wiggler! 
Now boys, the fishing days you have been looking forward to, and wishing 
f° r they’re right at hand. Soon you'll be kissing the wife and kids goodbye 
and climbing aboard the train for some shining lake where husky bass are 
I waiting with pounds and pounjis of piscatorial pep to give you the tussle of 
your life. 
Your precious ^angling hours are going to be worth just about a million 
dollars a minute —“and no cash discount!” Are you going to throw them away 
splashing around with a lot of imitation pork rind lures, or join the army of 
anglers who are really bringing home the bacon with 
A1 Foss Pork Rind Minnows 
The sensational success of Foss Pork Rind 
Minnows over the past seven years has re¬ 
sulted in a large crop of imitations. 
An imitation of a patented lure is not the 
genuine and unhampered product of an angler 
who has hit upon a fish-getting lure after 
years of experimenting along original lines. 
An imitation is the result of someone’s ob¬ 
serving the phenomenal sale of some other 
man’s lure, and then sitting down and trying 
I to figure out not a lure that will catch fish but 
a lure that, while evading the other man’s 
patents, will still have enough of the appear¬ 
ance and general characteristics of the suc¬ 
cessful lure, that it will catch anglers’ dollars! 
The “action” of a Foss Pork Rind Minnow 
is the result of a delicate combination of 
weight, shape, balance fore-and-aft, placing of 
spinner and method of attaching pork rind— 
also the shape, thickness, weight and tapering 
of the pork strip itself. To duplicate a Foss 
Minnow’s action, which depends on all these, 
would mean to exactly reproduce the lure in 
every particular. _ This is prohibited by pat¬ 
ents. So it is impossible to duplicate the 
fish-get-ability of these lures. 
Be sure you get the genuine “original, undiluted, aged-in-the-wood” 
A1 Foss Pork Rind Minnows this year — and use with them the real A1 
Foss Pork Strips. If your dealer cannot supply you, send direct to
