WILLIAM READ & SONS, 107 Washington St., Boston 



I have owned many guns, good, bad and 

 indifferent, in the last 18 years, but for 

 downright hard use give me a repeater. I 

 have used the Spencer and the lever Win- 

 chester, but greatly prefer the '93 model 

 Winchester. My gun is full choked, and 

 when hunting in the brush I usually carry 

 a scatter charge in the barrel and regular 

 factory shells in the magazine. In loading 

 the scatter charge I divide the shot in 2 

 parts with a card wad between.

Harry Cranston says in November 

 Recreation, that he can not keep his 

 rifle from rusting. Having had similar 

 trouble I conceived the idea of making a 

 wick plug of common cotton cord and 

 saturating it with S. D. & G. rust repeller. 

 Since using that have had no trouble 

 from rust in any form. The cord is 

 braided, so as to expand in the barrel. It 

 is the best thing I know of for small bore 

 rifles, being cheap and convenient to use.
