The Parker Gun. 

 PARKER BROTHERS, 



At the Second International Clay-Pigeou Tournament, held at TSew Orleans, La., Feb. 11 

 to 16, 188.5, the First Prize and Diamond Badge in the Individual Championship Match, open 

 to all the world, was won by B. Tiepel with a Parker gun. Among the contestants shooting, 

 other guns were such champions as Carver, Bogardus, Cody, Stubbs, Erb, and otliers. Dur- 

 ing the entire tournament more prizes were won with Parker guns, in proportion to the 

 number used, than with any other gun. 



Hundreds of Prizes 



have been won with AMERICAN WOOB*- 

 POWDER, loaded in the following manner. 

 No. 1 represents the exact proportion of a Wood-Powder 

 Shell properly wadded bct'oro the wads have been rammed 

 down. No matter wli.-it kind of wads are used, tlie same 

 should be tough and hard, and the same titichw.sfi of wad- 

 ding should be used as shown in these Cuts. 



In ma'ay Parker, Colt and other guns, wad.g of one or two 

 .Sizes larger than bore of shell must toe used, as the inner 

 (luimeter of the barrels of such guns is from one-liaU to 

 ( wo calibre larger than thatof paper shells, provemniij tlio 

 necessary confinementaud causing half of the cbarge being 

 thrown out unburnt. Tht.s is the .secrei of failureH to pot 

 the desired peuelralion with AMEBICAN 



lu the alMeiicoof stronger pnmer.s than used for American 

 Shells, wo advise to put a little black powder in tlie lioitom 

 of the shell, which will generate about the .same initial heat 

 as a. stronger primer and b-olp burning the whole charge of 

 Wood Powder, even when not confliied as thoroughl.v aa 

 W. P. must be, to give best possible results when used pure. 



No. 2 represent.^ the properly loaded cartridge. The 

 wads have been rrf»iine>t. down about three-eighths ot an 

 inch with two or three hard blows of a mallet or hammer 

 and a tight fltting rammiug-stick. until the Wood Powder is 

 pressed into a. so lid mass. Theshotis then put on in the 

 ordinary way and .shells crimped down tightly. Pur tu ftss 

 sheila use wads two .'<izes larsier than gauge.

CRUTTENDEN FLY ROD. 



It has Nickle Plated Patented Solid Reel Plate which prevents Reel getting fast by sweUuig of wood, 

 f rod should get wet. Full Nickle Plated, Patented Ferrules, allowing the wood to be used the fuJI 

 size, thus preventing rod breaking where wood and fen-ules jom. Metal Tenuous which prevent joints 

 getting stuck together. The entire rod is made from the best selected lancewood, left natural color, 

 varnished and polished. This makes a handsome finish, and is less liable to be seen by the wary flab 

 than a dark rod. The butt is woimd with cane and silk in an artistic manner, which not only gives it 

 the appearance, but also the feelmg of the high-priced rods. The complete rod has a look of beauty, 

 which is a joy to every fisherman's heart while usmg it. It is well and neatly ringed throughout, and' 

 has an extra winding "between each ring. There has been so many rods made of an inferior quality 

 that resemble this, that aH from this date will have stamped on reel plate "W. H. Oruttenden." and noae 

 genuine unless so stamped. Length, lOJ^ft; weight, 9]4 to lOozs. All the parts are interchangeable, and' 

 if, by accident, any part should get broken, can send duplicate without i rod being returned. The best 

 made rod in the United States, and we will guarantee it in every way. With -iiort tip it makes an ^crf- 

 lent bass rod. Sent to any part of U. S. in case, 1 bass, 1 trout tip, prepaid, for $5.35; bass tips, f 1.00;
