LIFE SAVING 



FOLDING CANVAS BOAT

Kalamazoo, Michigan 



The automatic shot gun is a pest, and 

 should be exterminated. 



My advice to J. P. Tilson is not to use 

 a rifled chamber in a shot gun, for the pur- 

 pose of shooting a bullet. It is not nearly 

 as accurate as a rifle, owing to the inferior 

 sights and short-rifled chamber. Then as 

 one of our friends said some time ago, 

 there is a sidewise blast of gas that is 

 damaging to the barrel of the gun. The 

 use of this auxiliary chamber will not dam- 

 age the choke of the gun in the least.

THE PARAGON FOLDING FURNITURE 

 COMPANY, 141 Centre Si., N. Y, City 



Some writer has insinuated that the old 

 fashioned Colt revolver is better than the 

 so called improved model. I believe this 

 on comparing those illustrated on pages 14 

 and 4 of the Colt catalogue. I should like 

 to read an article treating of the merits of 

 each as to durability, wear, action, shoot- 

 ing qualities, etc. The newer models must 

 have merit, for the company is putting out 

 target revolvers of this kind. 



I am sure your readers would be glad to 

 read something on this line. 



Charles B. Keller, Ridgway, Pa. ' 



I received the Syracuse gun and all my 

 friends admire it. I thank you sincerely 

 for such a fine premium.
