TO SPORTSIIEX 
Desiriog Fine En^lisli Guns 
Built, to Order. 
For many yrare past our specialty has been 
building FINE GUNS 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 sportsman as in Weighty Gauge, Length, Bend, Myle, Shooting 
Powers, and Price, causes the majority of first class shots to have 
their guns 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 
difliculty 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 spoitsmen orders to build FINE GUNS of 
any desired measurement, at our list prices, which we forward with 
illustrated description of our guns on application.

These Shells with slotted beads are so constructed as to enable 
sportsmen easily to remove the exploded caps from the outbide with 
any pointed ins-irument—eien a C' lnmon pocket knife will do the 
work successfnlly. Once seen SfAfrfj^rnen will uj-e no other shell, as 
it obviates all tronble with broken down anvils, broken points in 
cap ejectors, holes punched through caps, screw head shells that 
corrode and cannot be unscrewed after a liitle use. In a word, it will 
snpercede all other shells now in use.
