AFFILIATED WITH THE COMMERCIAL NATIONAL BANK OF HILLSBORO A pan of water is often enough to douse the careful fisherman's campfire. But the careless sportsman can start a raging inferno that thousands of men, with the most modern equipment, can’t control. Forest fires burn an average of 25 million acres of America’s woodlands each year. Fishermen know what these fires do to trout streams and good trolling lakes. They also know how nine out of ten fires may be prevented— by obeying the law of the woods. For more than 300 years, Americans have found good fishing where the trees grow green. Do your share to pass on our outdoor heritage to tomorrow's sportsmen. Help keep fires out of our woods.
