During the storm and flood experienced in the Phillipines, three American boats saved 100 out of 106 natives in a suburb of Aparri. Every angler wants fishing tackle which can be depended upon. He wants to be sure that his flies are well tied, that his casts are good and fresh, and that his waders are not perished and leaking. If he is to be sure of his tackle, he had belter order from E.
