Stop that Rusting ! 



Get Rid of those Black Spots! 



THE SINGER PROCESS 



Anti-Pit 



will do it ! 



It is a treatment to improve the condition and pro- 

 long the life of your gun. 



It prevents rusting and pitting, from use of smoke- 

 less or black powders, and does not require gun to be 

 cleaned while on a shooting trip, thereby adding to 

 your enjoyment. 



Guns so treated may be allowed to stand for weeks 

 uncleaued, without damage. 



This is what D. M. Lefever, of the Lefever Arms 



Co., who have adopted the treatment, says : 



" After examining and testing barrels that 

 have been treated with your process to prevent 

 corroding and pitting, I am compelled to 

 acknowledge that it is a valuable improvement 

 for several reasons, as follows : 



First — It does away with the necessity of wiping, 

 cleaning, and oiling the inside of the barrels. 



Second— \t forms a hard surface and prevents all 

 possibility of leading, a very important point. 



Th ird— Insures a perfect pattern at all times.

Max Bleiman, of the Herald Square 

 Theatre, recently bought of J. Charles 

 Davis the famous blue autograph letter — 

 the most perfect one in existence — of 

 Henry William Herbert (" Frank For- 

 ester"), the Shakespeare -of American field 

 sports literature. Of all the Herbert relics, 

 this one is perhaps the most interesting. It 

 is dated " No. 369 High Street, Newark, 

 N. J., October 22, 1845," and is as clear as 

 if freshly penned. 



Santiago got the Merrimac where the 

 " bottle gets the cork." 



Sue Brette — She's so tender hearted; she 

 would not hurt a bird. 



Foote Light — Nonsense; I've seen her 

 drown them. 



Sue Brette — Drown birds? 



Foote Light — Yes; drown them in cold 

 bottles. — Yonkers Statesman. 



" Look here, George," said Mrs. Pepper, 

 " I've been aggravated enough, so don't 

 you put me out." 



" Certainly not, my love," returned 

 George, suavely, " I'll go out myself. Don't 

 sit up for me." — Pick Me Up.
