CHARLES DALY HAMMERLESS 



READ A FEW FRESH WORDS OF COMMENDATION. 



No. 1-From the Pacific Slope. Log Am ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ 



Messrs. Schoverling, Daly & Gales, Neiv York: ' „ _ r . . , , L 



Gentlemen— I have a 10-gauge Daly— the one I ordered expressly for myself about a year ago— and now I want a 12-gauee Daly. It is the best gun in the world. 



I have had one of the club Medals here ever since I had my Diamond Daly, and still hold the champion medal. I have broken ten out of fifteen olay-pigeons at 75 yards with No. 7 

 shot with it. C. B. Gould who holds the first class medal, shoots Daly 12-gauge. J. B. Cline, one of our crack shots, shoots Daly 10-gauge. Prank Day, one of our crack shots, shoots 

 Daly 10-gauge. J. Downey Harvey, one of our crack shots, shoots Daly 10-gauge. Harry Houghton won first prize, Alexander County Sportsmen Club, with a Daly 12-gauge. Martini 

 Chick, the Champion of Southern California, shoots a Daly 10-gauge. , , ~ . ... 



We are about making a match for Chick and Crittenden Robinson, of San Francisco, and have got $500 that says the Daly gun beats him. 



We hare sold all the above and several others. Now I want a Daly 12-gauge, and I want j ou to pick me out one which will be up to the mark m outward appearance— a beautiful 

 piece of timber and finely marked barrels. For the shooting part, I have no fear that it will be to my satisfaction. ' 



Respectfully yours, (Signed) T. E. WALKER, of Walker & Smith. 



No. 2— From the Gulf.

Gentlkmen— The Charles Daly Hammerless Gun that I ordered through your house has been received, and to say that I am pleased with it only conveys m part what I think. It 

 has been examined by the best judges in this country, and they say that it is the finest piece of work that they have ever seen; that in fact they don't think the workmanship can be 

 excelled. I have thoroughly tested the shooting qualities, and it comes up to the specifications. I enclose you a slip from the Post. 



Respectfully yours, 



(Signed) M. FLOECK 



(SLIP FROM HOUSTON "POST.") 



"A Post reporter while taking in the sportsmen's element of our population this morning, dropped into Mike Floeck's gun shop on Travis street, and there found several of the crack 



height of art and taste', is inlaid with small figures of bags and birds, being a brace of handsome setters on a hunt, a pair of quail about to flush, and a brace of prairie chickens standing 

 as if they had just spied the common enemy. Altogether the gun has not probably an equal in the State, and no superior in the South. It seems to be the perfection of the 

 gunsmith's art." 



No. 3 — From the Great Northwest. 



Messrs. Pest db Co., Minneapolis: 



Chicago, May 1, 1886. 



Gentlemen— You ask permission to publish the letter I wrote to my friend Mr. C. in reply to his asking my advice as to the purchase of a gun. I have no objection except I request 

 you to leave out the portions in which I have given the bad points of a few well-known makes. I have friends who handle these goods and do not wish to have my commentsjiut in print. 



Yours truly, 



(Signed) GEO. T. FARMER. 

 Chicago, April 10, 1886. 



Friend C: 



Your esteemed favor of the 16th inst. at hand and contents noted. In my judgment the best gun made is the Charles Daly. I have shot a Diamond quality hammer gun for five 



finish on the higher grades, and none of the foreign ones can compare with the Daly, though costing considerable more money. In short, my advice is, get a Diamond Daly Hammerless, 

 and it will last you your lifetime. If you don'c want to use it till fall get it maae to order. This you can do by giving length of stock, drop at the butt and the nose, the gauge, the 

 length. of the barrels and the weight. 



We will have a shoot here commencing the second Monday in June, lasting six days, requiring twelve to fifteen thousand birds. Try and come down and you will see enough to 

 convince you that my advice is correct, and I promise you a good time. Very truly yours, s (Signed) GEO. T. FARMER.

We introduce this new aspirant for the favor of the shooting public, with great confidence that before 

 this fall season is over it will have made its mark. 



Heretofore Hammerless Guns have been used only in the most expensive kinds; all previous attempts to 

 bring out a cheap or medium priced one have been a failure. THE MANHATTAN is a medium priced, well 

 fitted gun, and is equal in work or finish to any American make. 



Every care has been taken to make of them first-class shooting guns.
