Dear Sirs :— I wish to speak a good word for your " Smokeless E. C." Loaded Paper Shells. 

 On October 26th, while hunting ducks on the East Gallatin River, one of the tributaries of the 

 Missouri River, my boat capsized, my 12 gauge shot gun loaded with your .shells going to the 

 bottom of the river in a hole fifteen feet deep. 



The following day, after the gun had been in the water for twenty-four hours, and recov- 

 ered, I shot two Mallard Green Head Ducks, near the place of the accident, using the wet gun 

 and the shells in the gun. The distance I killed the ducks was forty yards, which fully proved 

 to my satisfaction that your shells are waterproof, not only in name but in actual tests as well. 



I also found the shells in my hunting coat, after being soaked for twenty-four hours, all 

 good and the shooting quality not impaired in the least. 



I have used a thousand of your loaded shells this fall and found them first-class and 

 " waterproof," and after finding a good thing, I believe in giving the benefit of mv experience 

 to my fellow sportsmen. Yours truly, 



(Signed) w. M. XEVITT.
