Mr. W. H. Heer has run lOO straight 12 different times this year. A great shot only could make 
such a record — but he must have perfect ammunition, in which he has perfect confidence. Just as 
a great skipper shows what a great yacht can do, Mr. Heer displays the supreme quality of the 
shot shells he uses.

have for years set the pace because they have been the " best," and continually grow better. 
U. M. C. Shells are preferred because they bring out the best there is in a shooter, and do away 
with any chance of an. imperfect pattern or a miss-fire.

"Facts are stubborn things": There's no denying them; they are the most potent evidence. The facts in regard to the big tournament of 
the Illinois State Sportsmen's Association, held at Lincoln, May 23. 24, 25, are that, with the exception of one, every event, including the " Big State 
Event " for the Board of Trade Diamond Badge — value $750 — by W. R. Crosby, and the high averages, both professional and amateur, were won with 
W I N C H E S T E 
FACTORY LOADED SHELLS 
These are the facts. What do they evidence ? That Winchester Factory Loaded Shells are used by the best shots, both amateur and profes- 
sional, because they are reliable and accurate and give good velocity and pattern. As further evidence of this, the Minnesota State Championship, 
which was competed for at the tournament of the Minneapolis Gun Club, May 23, 24, was won with Winchester Factory Loaded Shells, and also 
the high amateur average for the shoot, the winners being respectively Mr. Evander and Mr. Moulton. These important winnings, made simul- 
taneously at different places with Winchester Factory Loaded Shells, show plainly their popularity with the best shots and explain why they are 
called 
"The Shells the Champions Shoot."
