Dear Sir— I have used your cleaner and find it 

 one of the best I ever used, and I think it will take 

 the place of all other cleaners.

Mr. J. C. PetmecTcy: 



Dear Sia — I have just received the two gun clean- 

 ers, and I admire them very much. They are the 

 best thing I have ever seen. I have tried almost 

 everything imaginable, but this simple invention 

 after usin<j it has become indispensable with me. 

 For removing lead on the interior of gun barrels I 

 am quite certain its equal has not yet been pro- 

 duced. Most truly yours, 



Capt. E. E, Stubbs.

 Mr. J. C. Petmecky, Austin, Tex.: 



Dear Sir— At my recent shoot in your city it 

 afforded me pleasure to speak of the merits of your 

 late invention, the "Petmecky Gim Cleaner." After 

 trying all others I find it the best, and cheerfully 

 recommend it to all sportsmen. I remain, yours 

 truly, Db. W. J. Carver,
