RECREATION. 



St. Paul, Minn., June 4, 1900. 

 The Peters Cartridge Co., Cincinnati. O.: 



Gentlemen: — Having found your ad. in June issue of Recreation, I 

 enclose stamp for your booklet. 



I have for several years used various makes of cartridges, both for 

 target and game shooting, and after giving yours a trial, have been con- 

 vinced that they are superior to others. 



My wife and I use repeating rifles, 22 cal., and we have always pro- 

 cured your cartridges when we could, but at the present time, I am unable 

 to find any of them on the market here. That is, I have made numerous 

 inquiries without success, on account of your not being in the combine. 



We like the cartridges for several reasons; first, because they are 

 more easily handled in the rifle magazine ; second, they make less dirt, the 

 rifle requiring less cleaning; third, they shoot stronger and truer than any 

 others we have used. 



Can I procure them direct from you in lots of say 500 to 1,000? I 

 shall be pleased to have you send me prices and lists of all your cartridges. 

 We use the 22 ex. long rifle, rim fire. 



Thanking you in advance, and trusting we may continue to have 

 success with your goods, I remain, 



Yours respectfully, • 



107 E. 4th Street. Frederick W. Freeman.
