To Get The Best Results 
you must know what powder you shoot! 
TF you’re a dyed-in-the-wool shooter, 
you’re not satisfied with shells loaded 
with any old powder. You demand the 
best, and rightfully so, because you know — 
. . . it’.s the powder that makes the shot go. 
... a shell without powder will not shoot. 
. . .an inferior powder makes an inferior load. 
.. .the best 'powder makes the best load. 
When the name of the powder is plainly 
stamped on the shell, carton and case you 
know what powder you are getting. You 
know what to expect of it; you know who 
is back of it. 
That’s why we urge you to specify the 
powder in your load. If you want du Pont 
Smokeless Shotgun Powders — and 8 out of 
every 10 shooters do — look for the name 
DUPONT or BALLISTITE stamped on 
the case, the carton and the top shot wad 
of the shell. 
If it’s there, you are sure it’s a du Pont 
Powder and it’s backed by a guarantee to 
be permanently reliable, safe and accurate. 
If the name of the powder is not shown, 
it’s a gamble. And why take a chance 
when shells loaded with du Pont Powders 
cost no more than unbranded shells.? 
Ask your dealer for these stand- 
ard loads of du Pont Powders. 
They are loaded in every brand 
of shell. Specify the powder and 
MAKE CER TAIN that one of these 
names is printed on the case, the 
carton, or the top shot wad —
