This pail has a suit (ace of high 



grade rubber, curved to fit the 

 shoulder. It lias a tough, durable

oval air chamher through the 



inn il i niil.ei base i- continued, in 



enlarged size, into the soft rub- 



ber part, extending about half 



way through the pad and under 



practically the entire snri.n oi 



the -i in rubber cushion. The 



extent oi this air chamher is supposed 1" give the pad unusual 



shock absorbing qualities it is made in three sizes and can 



he hutted to lit any butt. [The 1'.. 1 Goodrich Co., Akron, Ohio.l 

 The Perkins shock absi rber, on the left, is 

 made <<\ soft red rubber, and is joined in the gun 

 or rifle by rubber cement and screws, as illus- 

 trated. This pad can he bent in any shape to tit 

 anj gun and is claimed to be the onlj pad mi the 

 market that can be extended and contracted. It 

 i- mat in appearance, three-quarters of an inch 

 thick, and is made in six sizes. [John W. Per- 

 kins, Everett, Massachusetts.] 



The Anti-Flinch recoil pad, which is made by 

 the Jostam Manufacturing Co., of Chicago, is a 

 molded soft rubber cushion vulcanized to a hard 

 rubber base plate. Through the soff cushion are 

 oblong holes slanting at an angle of 45 degrees 

 in line with the stock. 

 Between t h e s e holes 

 there are walls of ruh- 

 ber that told each on the 

 ithei when the gun is discharged and 



spring back into normal position when 



the pressure is released, thus taking lip 



the recoil. These- walls of rubber arc 



further supposed to eliminate the upward whip of the muzzle at 



the time of discharge and to maintain balance of the gun for 



second shot [Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co.. Chicago I 

 Tin Huntley shock absorber was designed by S. A. Huntley. 

 iin of tin lust shots in the country, whose record has gained 



considerably through its use. It is composed of layers of high 



grade sponge rubber with sheets 

 isket rubber between, the 



object of this particular con- 

 struction being to absorb the 



-In 'ck through the consistency 



of tin sponge rubber, without 



tin- quick rebound that the pure 



rubber pad gives. The gasket 



rubber on the outside, next the 



shoulder, adds to its durability. 



It is made in two sizes and at prices varying with the number 



of layers in the pad. [The Huntley Manufacturing Co.. Omaha.

"Holdtite," a new puncture and blow-out patch, is made with a 

 coating of cement which increases in adhesive strength as the 

 tire becomes heated by friction. This patch is also constructed 

 with a special canvas hacking to prevent it from stretching and 

 t.' hold the edges of the cut closer together. [The Surridge Hold- 

 tite Patch Co., Grand Rapid-. Michigan ]
