A Bait That Would Have Delighted the Heart of lke Walton
We want to call the attention of all anglers and fishermen to our new bait-the ” Cyclone,” And we call it the Cyclone because it sweeps everything before it, and behind it, too for that matter. It is light but very durable and there isn’t a fish that swims that won’t take it in. The price for No. 1 is $ 1.00 ; No’s 2 and 3 $.75 cents. We want you to see it. This Bait is new this season and made right in our own factory, The trade has gone wild over it and we have orders for the ” Cyclone ” from all over the United States. It is sure to be the most popular Bait ever put on the market.
