The Francis Fly Company offered a large selection of fly baits in the 1940's & 50's. They had their sales headquarters in Chicago and their factory and General Office in Pittsburg , Kansas. They also were located in Frontenac, Kansas for an unknown period of time. Among collectors , Kansas is not known for it's tackle making history. Kansan Collectors should hold their heads high, for Russell Francis represented the Jayhawk State with wonderful offerings of quality and selection .
