When You Can’t Fish, Mend Your Nets – Wright & Joys – 1905. A very rare booklet from Wright & Joys, out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The booklet begins with an angling quote from Izaak Walton and then uses various fishing sayings, quotes, and tales in an attempt to angle some business. Color plate of canoe scene on front of soft cover, and other fishing plates mounted throughout. Wright & Joys specialized in producing market booklets or catalogs such as this for various businesses. An interesting spin on early 20th century marketing. Laid in are a reply post card and a publisher’s note from Wright & Joys. Tied at spine. Some minor blems, folds, and edge wear. VG to NF condition. The item is exactly as pictured. Any questions, please ask.
