GRAND PRIZE— ST. LOVIS. 
(Continued.) 
We referred last week in these columns to the points of superior merit on which 
the Greener gun received the Grand Prize at St. Louis. 
Let us name briefly a few of the more important ones considered by the juries. 
"The Greener gun is particularly valuable in its class because of the wide range it 
covers. Very small guns of this make are being made specially adapted to collecting 
humming birds, and through sviccessive and increasing sizes of bore to the great harpoon 
guns for whale shooting." 
"In every climate in the world these guns have withstood the maximum amount of 
hard weaf that can be given to a weapon of this class, and some very interesting 
specimens are shown in the exhibit." - 
"Mr. Greener is also a large contractor to His Majesty's War Department." 
"Safety is of prime importance in a shotgun and every operation in the manufacture 
qf a Greener gun is performed on Mr. Greener's own premises with British material arid 
by British workmen. This factory is said to contain 37,000 sq. ft., and enables the maker 
to guarantee the soundness of every part of the construction of his goods through 
elaborate appliances for testing the quality of the raw material and by personal super- 
vision over each subsequent operation." 
"The Greener patent cross-bolt and treble-wedge-fast action is the strongest yet devised 
and is used almost universally by gun makers in all countries." 
"Superior shooting qualities are also of prime importance, and since the invention of 
the Greener choke bore in 1875 the distribution of shot at long range has been much 
improved. In fact it is only by adopting the Greener system of choke boring that 
, scientific distribution of shot is possible. By this system the results have remained 
regular through a long series of shot with over 80 per cent, of the standard charge evenly 
distributed in a 30-inch circle at 40 yards." 
"So much sought after is this extra close shooting, if coupled with even distribution, 
that it is by common consent rated as the most essential quality in a shotgun and is the 
hardest to produce. An interesting example of this quality is shown in the exhibit, 
being the Greener gun used by E. D. Fulford in killing 421 live pigeons straight with 
one retrieved dead just outside the boundary, which record has never been even 
approached for closeness and regularity of shooting." 
"Simplicity is another factor of very great importance in a shotgun and one of the chief 
attributes of strength in the Greener gun is the fewness of its parts and the ingenuity 
displayed in reducing the number of limbs in its mechanism. In Greener's patent 
'Facile Princeps' system, which is far and away the strongest and simplest lock mechanism 
in existence, there is .only a hammer, a sear, a lifter and two necessary springs. The 
advantage of this extreme simplicity when guns are placed under long continued strain, 
must be obvious." 
"A notable instance is found in the gun built for Dr. Carver which he used all over - 
the world in matches and exhibitions and which he fired over a million times, and in 
one series of exhibitions he broke 120,000 glass balls without once cleaning the gun." 
"A Greener gun with this simple mechanism won the London Wear and Tear trials 
conducted by the London Field." 
"The Greener patent Unique system of self-acting ejector is the culmination of many 
forward steps toward an ideal ejector. The limb in this ejector lock not only performs 
the work of firing the case and ejecting the cartridge but also takes the blow or strain 
on the action from the weight of the falling barrels when the gun is opened. This 
feature alone will obviously lengthen the life of the action indefinitely." 
Next week we will continue with more of the special features of the Grand Prize 
Greener 
In the meantime we shall be pleased to talk business with any who are interested.
