Description
Three color 5″ x 13″ ad for their Push-Button Wondercast Reels, just in time for Father’s Day. The ad has a close-up picture and description of the No. 1797 reel for $24.95 (with other push-button reels from $16.50) and a picture and description of the No. 1579 Wonderod for $17.95.

Last but not least for Spinning is the No. 1870 Sporty, level-wind Deluxe Spinning Reel for $24.95 and the No. 1466 Matching Spin-Wonderod for $19.95. This ad is taller than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
