FIELD GUNS. 
When, 15 years ago, we introduced the light weight, short barrel 12 gauge Featlier- 
weigllt Fl'ancotte Guns, most hard practical field shooters who were lugging their 8 
or 9 pound guns when following their bird-dogs, shook their heads and very much doubted that 
anything like the same bag could be made with these "grasshopper" or "mosquito" guns as 
with their heavy old-fashioned guns. 
When, however, one of these full-choked .little guns made highest percentage of pattern and 
penetration in gun trial where most of the leading guns competed and when others were winning 
highest honors at the trap — then, public opinion began to change. Since then thousands of ouf 
Francotte and Knockabout Guns have gone into the hands of leading sportsmen. 
FKAJfCOTTE AND KNOCKABOUT GUNS have always kept well ahead 
of all competition as regards shape and model, strength coupled with light weight, shooting and 
wearing quality, fit and finish, and the ownership of either make of gun is a testimcnial as to a 
sportsman's standing. 
FRANCOTTE GUNS, all gauges, weights, length of barrels and shape of stocks 
from $80.00 to $450.00 net.

FIRST C05T 
vs. 
OPERATING EXPENSES AND PROFIT 
As Applied to the Modern Shot Qun. 
You will hear it said that GREENER GUNS are high priced, and so 
they are — comparatively. 
A trolley line is also expensive, and the cost to build an elevated railway is 
enormous, but if it is well done and the best material used they last indefinitely 
and begin to show a profit almost at once, even at so low a fare as five cents 
per passenger. 
The same argument can be urged to the purchaser of a Greener gun. The 
first cost is considerable— necessarily so— for the labor is skilled, the material 
the best and the brains and experience of the maker all count for something. 
Ordinary guns, and guns turned out by machinery, only last a season or 
two and are then discarded and begin a fitful downward career until they are 
finally lost in oblivion. 
A Greener Gun, on the contrary, does not fairly begin life until it is several 
years old, and the few thousand shots that will rack the cheap gun to pieces 
simply smooths out the Greener and acts on it like oil on a fine bearing, and 
emphasizes those niceties of fitting that were part of the original cost, and 
which makes a gun really worth having. 
Dr. Carver shot a Greener gun over a million time?, and we have the gun 
here now ^would not take $1000 for it — and it is in good condition yet after all 
these years. 
If you want a gun that will shoot the strongest and the longest, pay a 
little more and buy a Greener. Eight gauge to twenty-eight gauge in stock, 
$100 to $600. ^
