For many years pa.ct our specialty has been 
building FIXE GUXS to the order of individ- 
uad 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 Gauox, Lengthy Bend, Shooting 
Bcnrer^, and Price, causes the majority of first class shots to have 
their guns built to fpecial order. The great drawback heretofore 
to this method of procuring a FIXE GUX has been the extravar- 
281*1 and fancy prices charged for such work. To overcome this 
difficul'y we have established a house in Xew York, thus enabling 
siK)rtsmen to trade direct with the gun maker. are now pre- 
pared to accept from sportsmen orders to build FIXE GITXS of 
any desired measurement, at our list prices, which we forward with 
illustrated description of our guns on appiicaiion.

These Shells with slotted heads are so constructed as to enable 
sporismen easily to n move the exploded caps from the outside with 
an> poinied instrument — e'enac mimon pwket knife will do the 
work sncces-fnlly. Once seen SvorUriifii will n-e no other shell, as 
it obriates all trouble with broken down anvils, broken points in 
cap ejectors, holes punched ihrounh caps, screw head shells that 
corrode and cannot be unscrewed after a little use. In a word, it will 
supercede all other shells now in nse.
