A Charming Nature Book. 
Neighbors of Field, Wood and Stream. 
By MORTON GRINNELL, 
This is a book of country life, but it deals not with people, but with the wild 
creatures which, though for the most part unseen, live their lives all about us in 
Field, Swamp and Forest. Its natural history is accurate and its facts are 
given most entertainingly. It is copiously illustrated from the author's own 
specimens and from life./y^mo, cloth. Illustrated. Price $1.30 net, $1.45

FIRST COST 
VS. 
OPERATING EXPENSES AND PROFIT 
As Applied to the Modern Shot Gun. 
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 cefits 
pei: 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 times, 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, 
iioo to $600.
