Standard Targets

 of exactly the same dimensions. 



Standard Carriers

TESTIMONIAJLi. 



Messrs VON LENGERKE & DETMOLD, New York.— Gents: We have used your Standard Targets at our last tournament in our Blue Rock Traps, and find they work to perfection. There is no 

 difference noticeable excepting that the general breakage was much less with the Standard than wit^Ae^Bhie Rocks. ^ ^ ^ Harry^Nictols, j. Managers , 



Many other clubs can testify to the same supeiiority. The STANDARD TARGETS are made by A. H. Hebbard's Patent Automatic Target Machhe, guaranteeing even size, 

 even weight and density, and are superior in quality to either "Blue Bocks" or "Cleveland Targets."

CAUTION! 



When Buying Blue Rocks, see that you Get the Genuine. 



EACH BOX SHOULD HAVE STAMPED UPON IT 



"BLUE ROCK PIGEONS MADE BT THE CLEVELAND TARGET CO." 



Inferior imitations which do not fit our traps are being made and sold under the name of "Cleveland Targets." We are also informed that some dealers, when they receive orders 

 for " Blue Rock* " substitute these and bill them as "Blue Rocks." As the general appearance Is the same, it is easy to be deceived. These imitations sdl for several dollars 

 per 1,000 less than' Blue Rocks, and are worthless, as they do not fit our traps, for which they are claimed to be made, and the breakage in trapping is very great. 

 Hereafter the name "Blue Rock Pigeon" will be stamped in the crown of our birds. _ t 



- vv a Piston I? * 



The "Blue Rocks" have been adopted by a large majority of clubs and State associations as the best, cheapest and most popular flymg target. 

 The "Blue Rock" trap is made to throw Blue Rocks, and will not throw any other target as wen.
