"I must have a new gown and coat at 

 once." 



"Great thunderation, woman, how can you 

 ask for a gown and coat when you have 

 to testify in my bankruptcy hearing next 

 week?" 



"I simply must have them. Do you 

 think I can face people in the court room 

 when I am wearing my old clothes?" — In- 

 dianapolis Sun.

I see there are many admirers of Robin 

 Hood powder among readers of Recre- 

 ation. I, also, use that powder and con- 

 sider it superior to any other. Robin Hood 

 factory loaded shells excel in velocity, pat- 

 tern, penetration and cleanliness. My 

 friends and I have given them thorough 

 tests in competition with most -of the well 

 known makes. If these shells ever split 

 it is because the chamber of the gun in 

 which they are used is too large. Any 

 shell will split under like conditions.

Shot a Gun 



you ought to try it. 



We began the manufacture of Shot 

 Guns in the early sixties. We have 

 made a study of the needs in our line 

 and we can suit not only the man who 

 has never shot a gun, but also the man 

 who shoots. He knows us. We will 

 cheerfully give information to anyone 

 and we can prove to you that we make 

 the Best and Cheapest Gun on Earth.
