A LIBERAL DISCUEMT TO THE TRADE. 
From StiMXEB Beach, ElUicortK, Karuae, Sept. 12, 1874. 
** I think that the ‘Sharps' that we use for killing buffnlo need no improvement, as they are a perfect gun . I saw Zack Light (who is 
one of the best buffalo banters, and acknowledged to be the best shot on these Western prairies), last winter, while on a buffalo bunt, 
one day, sqoat down in a buffalo wallow (after crawling and getting a stand on a herd of buffalo), and killed 74 head of buffalo, just where 
be sat in the wallow. He killed that winter twenty-three hundred bead of buffalo. The rest of us killed about twelve hundred head. 
He used a 'Sharps' 50 calibre." 
From CoL. H. A. Gildebsleeve. A. A. G.Aft IHr.X. G. S. X. Y.,Xew Tori, Oct. 10, 1874. 
** I have used your rifle since June last, with great pleasure and success. I regard it as second to no rifle in the w'orld for simplicity 
of mechauism, excellence of finish, and accuracy of e.xecution." 
From Wm. M. Tbeadway, Port Henry, Xew York, Oct. 26, 1874. 
“I have severely tc«ted the Sharps Rifle recently purchased from you, and find it the most perfect shooting gun I ever saw. Send me 
two more at once, for friends who arc delighted with the excellence of my rifle. 1 will probably ordei stUi another in a day or two." 
From Gbaxtille Stewabt, Esq., Deer Lodge, Mont. Ter., Dec, 29. 1874. 
"The two Rifles ordered by me arrived on the 25th. and are beantifui specimen® of the perfection referred by you in the manufac- 
ture of target guns. They are far superior to anything ever seen here before, and give satisfaction in every particular." 
From J. T. Rothbock, M: D., Wilkcisbarre. Pa., Feb. 12, 1875. 
" That Sharps Rifle is the perfection of a bunting gun. I have never seen anything in the rifle line, that so perfectly satisfies me."

W. W. G. is now prepared to manufacture Guns to order that 
^11 put in an average of 210 pellets, with 12 bores, weighing under 
7 1-4 lb., with a charge of 3 drachms of powder, and 1 l-§ oz of No. 
6 shot; and over that w'eigbt, 220 pellets. 10-bore Guns, weiring 
9^to 9 1-2 lbs. with a charge of only 4 drachms powder and 1 1-4 oz. 
No H shot, an average of 240 pellets. Closer shooting maybe ob- 
tained if desired, and the penetration is alsoone-third greater. By 
using only 2 1-4 drachms of powder better pattern and penetration 
can be obtained than from other guns with 3 drachms of powder 
and much less recoil. See sp^ciaTreporter'a notice in The Field of 
Jan.9. who has tried the shooting of these gnns.and stat* s "that the 
trial was highly satisfactory, and certainly proved that Mr. Greener 
bad not overscuted on paper the capabilities of bis gun." Refer- 
ences can be given to sportsmen who have killed garae at over 100 
yards. These guns have performed better both in pattern and pe^ 
etration than any Guns yet made both in America and England.
