A LIBEK.\L DISCOUNT TO THE TR.ADE. 
From Sdmser Beach. ElUworth, Kannu. Sept. 12. 1874. 
*‘ I think that the ‘Sharps' that we use for killing bnffnlo need no improvement, as they are a perfect gun. I saw Zsck Light (who is 
one of the beet buflalo hunters, and acknowledged to be the best shot on these Western prairiesl, last w inter, while on a buffalo hunt, 
one day, squat down in a buff.alo w allow (after crawling and getting a s and on a herd of buffalo), and killed 74 head of buffalo, just where 
he eat in the wallow He killed that winter twenty-three hundred head of buffalo. The rest of ns killed abont twelve hundred bead. 
He ue^ a ‘Sharps' 5J calibre.” 
From Col. H. A. Gilpebsleeve. A. A. G., l»t Dir. .V. G. S . .V. F., A'cui Forit, 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 world for simplicity 
of mechanism, excellence of fimsh, and accuracy of execution.” 
From Wm. M. Tbeadwav, Port Htnry, Xew York, Oct. 26. 1874. 
“1 have severely tc-ted the Sharps R lie recently purchased from yon. and find it the most perfect ^hooting gnn i ever saw. Send me 
two more at once, for friends who are delighted with the eicellence of mv rifle. I will probably order still another in a day or two.” 
From Gkasville Stewart. Esq., D(*r Lodge, ilont. Ter., Dec. 29. 1874. 
“The two Rifles ordered by me arrived on the ‘25th, and are beaiititnl specimens of the perfection referred by yon In the manufac- 
ture of target guns. They are far superior to anything ever seen uere before, and give satisfa tion in every particular." 
From 3. T. Rothbock, M. D., Wilkubarre, Pa., Feb. 12. 1875. 
“ That Sharps Rifle is the perfection of a hunting gun. I have never seen anytting in the rifle line, that so perfectly satisflas me.”

W. W. G. is now prepared to manufacture Guns toorderthat 
will pat in an average of 210 pellets, with 12 bores, weighing under 
i 1-4 lb., with a chaige of 3 dracoms of powder, and 1 1-8 oz of No.

9 to 9 1-2 lbs. with a charg*- of only 4 drachms powder and 1 1-4 oz. 
No h shot, an average of 340 pe Uts. Closer shooting may bs ob- 
tained if dseired, and the penetraMon is alsoone-thtrf greater. By 
using only 2 1-4 drachms of powder better pattern and penetration 
caa be obtained than from other guns with 3 drachms of powder 
and much lets retail. See spuciaf reporter's notice in T/u Fidd of 
Jan. 9. who has tried the shooting of these gnus, and states “that tbs 
in^ was highly satisfactory, and certainly proved that Mr. Gresner 
had not overstated on paper the capabilities of hie gun.'* Refer- 
ences can be given to sportsmen who have killed game at over 100 
yards. These guns have performed better both in pattern and p««r 
etration than any Guns jet made both in America and England.
