Since then we have represented them with muchsatisfaction to Irish anglers (and visitors) and, we think, with credit to ourselves. Our Fishing Tackle Dept. is now the ren dezvous of nearly all Salmon and Trout anglers. The stock carried, in both variety and quality, has never been approached in this country. In addition to Hardy's goods, we have a fine range of Rods, Reels, Lines, Flies, etc., to suit those requiring thoroughly reliable goods at lower prices. A VISIT WILL BE APPRECIATED CATALOGUES FREE.
