Hart’s Sportsman’s Favorite Metallic Shells. 
FOR BREECH-LOADING SHOT GUNS. 
These Shells are easily loaded, and the caps easily extracted from Inside. 
Head solid and much thicker than any Shell now made, giving a solid seat for cone or anvil, which prevents 
It from driving through or springing away, thereby causing mlas-fires. The Cone Is made of nickel, and fas- 
tened solid In Its place. Neither rusts nor corrodes fast, like movable anvil made from steel. The Nickel 
Cone also prevents mlas-flre when a cap has been left on shell for a few days, which is liable to occur either 
In steel or Iron. These Shells are finely finished, and made any length ordered, from 2% to 8K Inches. 
Shells and Loaders and Descriptive Price-Lists can be obtained from all the lending Sportsmen's Houses 
throughout the country. HA RT A- SLOA N, Newark, N. J. 
FROM CAPTAIN BOQARDUS, CHAMPION WING-SHOT OF AMERICA. 
Mbssbs. Qrohob E. Hart A Oo. — Gentlemen : The fifty Shells I received from yon to-day suit me better 
than anyl have ever used. They are stronger and better in every respect, and I shall use them In all my 
shooting hereafter. Yours truly, A. H. BOGARDU8.
