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

 October 36th, while hunting ducks on the East Gallatin River, one of the tributaries of the Missouri 

 River, my boat capsized, my 13 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 recovered, 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 tlie 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 ;my experience to my fellow sportsmen. 



Yours truly, 

 (Signed) W. M. NEVITT.
