THE MANUFACTURERS OFTHE "FOX" GUN, FEELING THAT PEALERS, 

 as a general thing, have not done justice to the merits of this WONDERFO L 

 GUN, are deiermined to have them placed before sportsmen more generally, that their 

 nreat merits may become better known and appreeiated. It is needless to spenk ot 

 THE ELEGANT WORKMANSHIP AND WONDERFUL SHOOTING POWERS 

 of these "tins. It i? a racf w?Z e.s?«W?s7ied that they are UNSURPASSED BY ANY 

 IN THE WORLD. " , . „ . r,^- 



We pro]iose lor a limited period to offer a line of these guns at the following EA- 

 TREMBLV LOW PRICES, after which the original prices will be restored, our object 

 being to introduce the guns into sections of the countrj- where deiilei-s have failed to 

 present them ; in the firm belief that where tJtey become known they will be the es- 

 tablished favorite, and we shall reap the benefit in future of thi.s great sacrifice. 

 Such Inducements Have Never Before Been Offered. 



Sportsmen wishing to purchase one of these beautiful guns must respond at once, as 

 the number offered at these prices is limited. roRMEK PRICE.
