THE 



PAPER STEM PIPE. 



Just the Thing for Home 

 and Camp Use. 



Supplies a want which smokers have long felt — a 

 pipe whicU shall give simply the taste and odor of to- 

 bacco smoke. This pipe never accumulates rank 

 smelling liquid in stem or bowl, but is always clean 

 and sweet. The bowl and mouthpiece are permanent, 

 but the stem is of porous paper, to be laid aside after 

 a few days' use and a new one fitted. Extra stems 

 accompany each pipe. The price of extra stems, 

 when not furnished with the.pipe.is as follows: Four 

 and a half and seven inches, 5c; twelve inches, 15c. 

 Sold by pipe and cigar dealers generally, or a complete 

 sample sent by mail for $1 by

 Maker of Gun. Exhibitor. 



1st— Greener Greener. 



2d— Pape Davidson. 



3d— Pape Pape. 



Out of a class of 68 guns, 3 out of the 6 best were 

 made by Pape. The Greener gun was protested 

 against on the spot for having its score false counted, 

 the fact proven there, and afterwards confirmed by 

 same gun being shot for two days per week for six 

 weeks in succession, when its average score only took 

 24th -place, its very best score being greatly below the 

 scores of the best six guns.

 lets in each charge. Should any controversy arise as 

 to the durability of these new systems, we herewith 

 warn all beforehand that our system is our own inven-

The parts in this new action are so few (only two,) 

 its mechanical soundness so thorough, and the 

 strength and simplicity of the action so great, that 

 W. & P. feel sure it will supercede all the complicated 

 and manifold grips now in use, its one powerful grip 

 being far stronger than. any double, treble or quadruple 

 grip now used. In this new action LEVER and GRIP 

 ARE ONE SOLID PIECE OP STEEL and the AN- 

 GLE of the BODY is left in its ENTIRE STRENGTH.
