A RECORD 
Which has no equal. Col. Thos. Martin, of Bluffton, S. C., shooting a Parker gun at 
Elkwood Park, in eight days’ shooting, from April 8th (including the Grand American 
Handicap), killed 501 live birds out of 507 shot at, and made a run of 141 straight. 


On April 25th he won the Maryland Handicap, killing 25 straight. 
That the ‘‘Old Reliable” is extremely popular is strongly attested by the fact that of 
the 263 contestants in the Grand American Handicap of 1899, 77 were shooting ‘‘ Parkers.”’ 
Facts such as these prove the ‘‘Parker’’ the most popular shot gun in America. 
There are more Parker Guns in the hands of Amateurs than any other make of gun in 
the world.

“Couldn’t you do something to enrich 
this milk?” asked the Customer. 
“Maybe you'd like me to put in the 
cow,’ snapped the Dairyman. 
“No! That wouldn’t help any,” said the 
Customer; “if you put in the one that gave 
this milk!” CARES yi ee
