The Collins Gain Company, of Omaha, Nebraska 

 (the oldest and largest gun house in the West), writes: 

 "We will be only too pleased to allow you to use our 

 name as reference, aud would say that we have tried 

 every loader that has been placed on the market, 

 and Without any hesitation pronounce your machine 

 the only machine yet that we have ever seen that is 

 worth anything for our use, to wit, loading wood, 

 Schultze or black powder for trap or game shooting." 



Mr Curtis Wright, a well-known club man of 

 Connersville, Ind, says: "The loader is at hand, and 

 more than meets my expectations. It is a beautiful 

 ■I piece of mechanism, and perfect in every 

 SliV, way; it is made for both strength and coii 

 venience, and cannot fail to take the lead in 

 the market, as no one could ask anything 

 better. The shooting fraternity owe you a 

 vote of thanks for getting out so complete an 

 article."
