FisMaig* Season, 1894-1895. DURING- the last year many improvements have been made in Fishing Tackle —Casts and Traces are steeped in a preparation which increases their strength and durability ; Hooks have greater penetrating power; Flies and Minnows nearer perfection; and many improvements in Live Bait, Spinning Tackle, Rods, Reels, and Lines. My business connection with most of the leading Tacklemakers in the world has enabled me to bring together all the latest goods in this Ime. Inspection and Inquiry cordially invited.
