Tight Lines Tuesday Warner Winner
by John Etchieson
Tight Lines Tuesday Warner Winner; More than 80 years ago in 1937 this attractively labeled WARNER WINNER brand silk casting line was sold by the Warner’s Hardware store located at 13 South 6th street in Minneapolis Minnesota. Warner Hardware was founded by Frank R. Warner in 1875 and sold hunting, fishing, and other sporting goods in addition to hardware for more than 100 years. The “Mottled P & S” (Pepper & Salt) referenced at the top of the label indicated the line was a blend of both black and white silk threads that had been braided together to form the “mottled” color.
