Exact Tints 

 From Pure 

 White Lead 

 Paint 



ONLY by mixing: paint to 

 order can all gradations 

 of tint be obtained. 



CJOne advantage of 

 using pure white lead 

 and linseed oil, and 

 tinting the paint at the time of 

 making, lies in the fact that the 

 most minute variations of color 

 may be secured. Another ad- 

 vantage is the permanency of 

 these tints. They will not fade 

 or wash out. 



<^ Furthermore, any kind of finish 

 may be secured with pure white 

 lead paint by changing the liquid 

 constituents (oil, turpentine or 

 varnish), giving dull, glossy or 

 enamel surfaces. 



<I For all painting, interior or ex- 

 terior, specify pure white lead 

 ("Dutch Boy Painter" trade 

 mark). The "Dutch Boy Paint- 

 er" is the guaranty of white 

 lead purity and reliability. 

 «I Send for our "Dutch Boy Paint 

 Adviser No. 95 " and learn why 

 pure white lead paint, mixed 

 fresh with pure linseed oil at the 

 time of painting, is the most satis- 

 factory and most economical paint 

 to use. Booklets on home decora- 

 tion and landscape gardening 

 included. All free. 



Our Pure White Lead ("Dutch Boy 

 Painter" trade mark) is now packed 

 in steel kegs, dark gun-metal finish, 

 instead of in oak kegs as heretofore.

NONBLURRABLE 



That's another feature of the 

 Stevens Repeating Shotgun No. 520. 



The front of the receiver is milled with a short, matted surface, far enough away 

 from the eye to give a clear, unblurred sight. There is no projection behind the breech 

 to distract the mind or blur the eye. This is the Stevens Natural Sighting Method. 

 It gives clean cut natural lines, with a perfected and natural balance that makes this 

 No. 520 a Natural Pointer. 



The Stevens is the fastest Repeater in the world, because the Repeating Action is the easiest 

 to operate and because the mechanism cannot be clogged when you do work it fast. 



THUMB & FINGER 



Are enough to operate the pump action of this model. So easy working, such simple 

 and accurate parts that after pushing the safety catch, a one-armed man can reload 

 the Stevens Repeater by giving the gun a forward "y an lc." Put the Stevens Repeater 

 in the hands of an ordinary shooter and he can get in 6 shots while his double-barreled 

 camp-mate is ejecting his second shell. 



But all this unusual speed would be useless in a gun unless it is absolutely 



NON-BALKABLE 



That's what the Stevens is. 6 Lightning shots with never a chance for a clog or balk. 

 The best experts in the country have tried to balk this gun and failed. The reason is 

 that the empty and the loaded shells travel by 2 separate routes and both start at once. 

 They cannot meet — they cannot balk the gun. The repeating speed is ahead of the 

 human hand. Knowing that the gun can't clog increases your speed. Knowing that 

 it's a Natural Pointer increases your accuracy and cuts down the misses. Knowing that 

 there is a wall of solid steel between you and the primer gives you confidence. No gas 

 or parts of the gun can blow back. 

 Safety — close, hard hitting — top speed — natural pointing — non-balking — perfect balance — are these the things you want 

 in a gun ? Clinch what we say by seeing the gun for yourself. Throw a Stevens Repeater to your shoulder in any Sporting 

 Goods store. Get the feel of it and know for yourself just want we mean when we call it the Natural Pointer. 

 Act now and you will thank us every field day of your life. Every trap day too.

DO YOU WANT TO BE A BETTER SHOT? 



It's the fine points that make the big difference between the expert and the ordinary shot. 



Experts don't give away these points they spent long years to get. 



But it's to our advantage that present and future users of Stevens rifles and shotguns become expert shots. We 

 employ some of the world's crack shots. They know all the little kinks — fine points that get them big scores. 



Do you want these short cuts to shooting ? Then write us what interests you — rifle shooting, the traps or field shoot- 

 ing. Our answer goes the day your letter comes, giving you practical suggestions on how to improve your style and 

 accuracy.
