Numbers of our customers ridiculed the idea of putting a higher price on the Marlin Ride (when first brought to the notice of the trade a 

 little over a year ago) than the most favored rifle then on the market. We contended that the best goods were worth the most money, and that 

 price was a secoudary consideration in a first-class rifle. Time has proved the correctness of our views, and the same parties are now continu- 

 ally writing "Hurry up our Marlins; have sold the last one; their popularity is increasing. You have' had our order for several weeks now; 

 why don't you send them?" We answer "Because the factory is two months behind orders and with all their exertions cannot catch up." 

 Here are specimens of unsolicited comments: 



Flagstaff, Arizona, Sept. 4, 1882.— "The Marlin rifle is the best repeater I have ever seen ; for simplicity, durability and accuracy cannot he equalled."— E. E. Haenelt. 



Columbia Falls, Me., Sept. 18, 1882.— "The rifles are received and are better than we expected, though from wdiat we. had heard our expectations were large. They suit everyone that has seen thera, and we 



expect to sell a number, and are sure we can clean out every other magazine rifle. Duplicate the order."— L. Leighton <S: Son. Since the above was written the firm have ordered and sold four lots of the rifles. 



Bear Creek Camp, Wyoming Ter., Oct. 2S, 1882.— "My pard and f are now hunting for the Denver market. We have hunted for the past five years, and have worn out five or six guns, and now 1 want a new 



one, and I am bound to have a Marlin repeater. The hunters who have them are offered the best rifles and $10 to boot, but dont seem inclined to part with them. In fact they bring $10 mare than any other 



rifle, and I want the very best."— J. L. Johnston. 



We beg to call special attention of parties who, have been giving preference to rifles using small charges of powder and light bullets. Experience has demonstrated that the .40 cal. 

 BO grain cartridge far exceeds the .44 cal. 40 grain in bringing down game at first shot. The trajectory is flatter, the speed of the bulleo is much greater, so that less time elapses between 

 the pulling of the trigger and striking the game ; the bullet is longer and makes a much larger aperture. Express cartridges can be had for both .45 and ,40 cal. 



The Marlin Fire Arms Company have just finished an addition to their factory twice the size of their former building, have been putting in new machinery of the latest models, and 

 will soon be prepared to supply the demand.
