TO SPORTS.MEX 
Desiring Fine [nglisli Duns 
BuLilt, "to Order. 
He For many years past OUT specialty has been 
building FINE GUNS to the order of individ- 
ual sportsmen. 
Th^ difficulty of procuring a gun ready made that will suit the 
figure, and at the same time meet all the other reQnlrements of 
the sportsman as in Weight, Gauge, Length, Bend, Style, Shjooting 
Powers, and Price, causes the majority of first class shots to have 
their guns built torpedo/ 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 
difficulty we have established a house in New York, thus enabling 
sportsmen to trade direct with the gun maker. We are now pre- 
pared to accept from spoiUmen orders to build FINE GUNS of 
any desired measurement, at our list prices, which we forward with 
Hlnstrated description of our guns on applicaiion.

These Shells with slotted heads are so constructed as to enable 
sportsmen easily to remove the exploded caps from the outside with 
any pointed in^trumeDt— aven a c mmon pocket knife will do the 
work successfully. Once seen Stjort^^jnen will use nootber shell, as 
it obviates all trouble w ith broken down anvils, broken points in 
cap ejectors, holes punched through caps, screw bead shells that 
corrode and cannot be unscrewed after a little use. In a word, it will 
supercede all other shells now* in nse.
