Hart’s Sportsman’s Favorite Metallic Shells fox- 
Breech Loading Shot Guns. 
These Shells are easily loaded, aud thekiips easily extracted from inside. Head solid, and much thicker 
than any shell now made, giving a solid seat for cone nr antil, which prevents it from driving through or 
springing away, thereby causing missflres. The cono is made of nickle and fastened solid in ils place. It 
neither rusts or corrodes fast like moveable anvil made of steel. The nickle cone also prevents mlssflre 
when cap has been left on shell for a few days, which is liable to occur either in steel or iron Theso sholls 
are flnely flnished, and made any length ordered, from 2J to 31 inches. 
Shells and Loaders, and description Price Lists, can be obtained from all the leadin" sportsmen’s houses 
throughout the country. GEO. E. HART & CO., 303 and 365 Market st., Newark, N. J.
