TO SPORTSMEA 
mDesiriog Fine Eoglish Guos 
Biiilt t,o Order. 
Kc For many years past onr specialty has been 
building FINE GUNS to the order of individ- 
nal sportsmen. 
The difficulty of procuring a gun ready made that will suit the 
figure, and at the same time meet all the other requirements of 
the sportsman as in Wnghi, Gauge, Length, Bend, Style, S/woting 
Powers, and Price, causes the majority of first class shots to have 
their guns bnilt to special order. The great drawback heretofore 
to this method of procuring a FINE GUN has been the extrava- 
gant and fancy prices charged for sneh work. To overcome this 
difficnlty we have established a house in New York, thus enabling 
sportsmen to trade direct with the gnn maker. \Pe are now pre- 
pared to accept from spoi'tsmen orders to build FINE GUNS of 
any desired measurement, at our list prices, which we forward with 
Ulnstrated description of our guns on applicalion.

And hereafter you will 
XJse ISTo Ot-lier Sliell ! ! 
These Shells with slotted heads are so constructed as to enable 
sportsmen easily to n move tbe exploded caps from the outside with 
any pointed in>trument— even a c mmon pocket knife will do the 
work successfully. Once seen SporUmen will use no other shell, as 
it obviates all trouble with broken down anvils, broken points in 
cap ejectors, holes punched through caps, screw head shells that 
corrode and cannot be unscrewed after a little use. In a word, it will 
snpercede all other shells now in use.
