Formanv years pa,«tonr specialty bas been 
building FINE GUNS to the order of individ- 
ual sportsmen. 
The difflcnlty 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 Weight, Gauge, Length, B^nd, i>tyU, Shooting 
Poicers, and Price, cause,** the majority of first class shots to have 
their guns built to The great drawback heretofore 
to this method of procuring a FINE GUN has b(*cn the extrava- 
gant and fancy prices charged for such 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 sportsmen orders to build FINE GUNS of 
any desired measurement, at our lUt prices, which ive forward Anih 
illustrated description of our guns on application.

And hereafter you will

These Shells with slotted heads are so constructed as to enable 
sportsmen easily to remove the exploded caps from the outside with 
any pointed instrument— even a Ctfmmon p^ket knife will do the 
work successfully. Once seen SiorUmen will use no other shell, as 
it obriates all trouble with broken down anvils, broken poiuts in 
cap ejectors, holes punched through caps, screw head shells that 
corr^e and cannot be un^rewed after aliule use. In a word, it tf ill 
supercede all other shells now in use.
