Bmilt. t-o Order. 
'The i or many years past our specialty has been 
nOftEER^^ building FINE GUNS to the order of mdivid- 
ual sportsmen. 
The difficulty of procuring a gun ready made that will suit the 
figure, and at the same time meet all the other requirement? of 
the sportsman as in Weigfa, Gaune. Length, Bend, i>tyle. Shooting 
Powers, and Price, causes the majority of first class shots to have 
their gun? built to oref^r. The great drawback heretofore 
to this method of procuring a FINE GUN has been the extrava- 
gant and fancy prices charged for such work. To overcome this 
difficul y we have established a house in New York, thus enabling 
sportsmen to trade direct with the gnn maker. We are now pre- 
pared to accept from sportsmen orders to build FINE GUNS of 
any desired measurement, at our list prices, which we forward with 
illustrated description of our guns on application.
