BABBITT'S AUXILIARY BARREL 



to collectors I am not unmindful of present com- 

 petition, and having made improvements that are 

 marked and valuable, I am assured they will at 

 once find favor in the hands of every progressive 

 field collector. 



THE SIMPLE CONSTRUCTION 



and improved machinery enables me to furnish a 

 better article for a given amount of money than is 

 possible of any other consi ruction. 



THE SHALL COST OF SHOOTING 



a 32 or 38 instead of a 12 gauge shell will save you 

 the cost of a barrel in a season's collecting.
