A person who likes to see justice done is usually a pretty good sort of h c itizen. Such a person is Is-s Conrad, the grocery man. I^es came in to the Shop last Christmas time and said, "Pick out the best Gaff hook you have and wrap it up for me”. After doing so, I was pleased to heat him aay “This is a poor time to be buying a gaff hook, but I kndw that last summer a fellow broke yout gaff hook and has never bought you another one. so if I give him this one for a Christmas present, he will no doubt give it to you as a replacement for the one he broke". The only bad feature is that I have nevei received the hook, but wasn't it a swell idea? THE KPORTSMAN’H SHOP Fishing HeadquarterM
