Wii* For manv vears past onr specialty has been 
building FINE GF^^S to the order of individ- 
ual 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 spo^l^man as in Gixuqe^ Lengthy Birui^ StyU^ Shootbkg 
Ftnc^$y and Prie^, causes the majority of first class shots to have 
their guns built to order. The groat 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 
difficulty Me have establbhed a house in New York, thus enabling 
sportsmen to trade direct with the gun maker. W® a now pre- 
pared to accept from spoilsmen orders to build FINE GUNS of 
any desired measurement, at our list price*., ivnich we forward Muih 
illustrated description of onr guns on application.
