Description	View of a man and a woman in a canoe on a lake. The woman is holding a parasol. A printed testimonial reads: "The Following is an Extract from a Letter written by an Angler who is Prominent in Cincinnati. Cincinnati, O., May 18, 1906. 'Our party of three spent several days at Linville last week. We took fifty-five trout out of the lake in one day, one of my friends getting the limit of twenty five. They were all speckled trout, three of them weighing two pounds each, the average being a little less than one pound each. Later we were not so fortunate though in the three following days we took one hundred and twenty in all. South of Canada there is no better trout fishing than in Kawana Lake.'"
