In presenting the following Catalogue to the Brotherhood off Anglers, I wish it to be well understood that its prices are for articles of the best description, as all my rods and tackle are manufactured on the premises, under my own superintendence, to suit the various purposes required, and finished as they ought to be; and that they differ materially from the slop-rubbish vended by persons professing to be makers, and sold to disappoint, disgust, and take in unwary purchasers, instead of taking out wary fish.
We must surely appreciate the term "slop-rubbish" and his opinion on competing products.
