Hart’s Sportsman's Favorite Metallic Shells for 
Breech Loadin'*- Shot Guns. 
These Shells are easily loaded, and the cips easily extracted from inside. Head solid, ahd much thicker 
than any shell now made, giving a solid seat for cone or anvil, which prevents ic from driving through or 
springing away, thereby causing misstires. The cone is made of Rickie and fastened solid in its place. It 
neither ruses or corrodes fast like moveable auvil made of steel. The nickle coue also prevents missfire 
when cap has been left on shfell for a few days, which is liable to occur either in steel or iron. These sheila 
are finely finished, and made auy length ordered, from 21- to 31 inches. 
shells and Loaders, and descriprion Price Lists, can be obtained from all the leading sportsmen’s houses 
throughout the country. GKO. E. HART Jc CO., 363 and 365 Market st., Newark, N. J.
