CHILLED SHOT 



ARE the Sole Maniifactvirers and Patentees of the NEWCASTLE CHILLED SHOT, 

 which is composed of lead only, and free from any poison. 



It is found necessary to call the attention of the public to the Trade Mark, from 

 existing proofs that there a/re certain unscrupulous dealers who give their customers cold 

 blast shot for chilled shot. The foUowing is one of the many letters received from all 

 parts with regard to this: 



Lorn Ironmongery Warehouae, Oban, July 21, 1880. 



Gentlemen, — Several of my customers prefer your mate of shot, and I have found a little 

 difficulty in getting it; as I am informed that what is known as "cold blast" is the same as 

 your " CHILLED " shot ; however, the parties referred to say that they have tried both, and that 

 your ohjUed shot does shoot much further than the other. Please let me know your terms, and 

 where is your nearest agent. — ^Yours obediently, John Muneo. 



At all the important field trials of later years the Newcastle Chilled Shot was exclusively selected by each 

 isuccessful competitor. (Wholesale only.)
