FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Aug. 24, 1895. 



WHY DID 



The Knoxville Gun Club, the Dupont Co., the Inter-State Association, the 

 Grand Rapids Gun Club, Louis Erhardt & Co., J. F. Schme'zer & Sons Arms 

 Co., the Ohio State League, the New York State Association, the Arkansas 

 State Association, and hundreds of other Clubs and Associations all use Blue 

 Rock Targets, Expert Traps, and North's Electric Pulls 

 at their tournaments ? 



WHY DID a few other Clubs that used other targets, traps and 

 electric pulls (with wire pulls on the side) wish they had used Blue Rock 

 Targets, Expert Traps, and North's Electric Pulls? 



Because they are the only Targets, Traps, and Electric Pulls 

 that give Entire Satisfaction.

Mr. Wilmot Townsend's new drawing, "Outside 

 the Danger lane," depicts a flock of broadbills 

 alighting; and the study of action will readily be 

 recognized by observing gunners as true to the life. 

 The scene is on a calm day, when, with nothing to 

 alarm them the ducks have concluded to rest 

 a while far from shore. Reproduced by the artotype 

 proeoss, the plate being 16x21in. Edition limited
