TO SPORTSME.V 
Desifliig Fine Fnglisli Guns 
Buil't -to Order. 
For many years piJ't our specialty has been 
building FINE GUNb to the order of individ- 
nal sportsmen. 
The difficulty of proenring a gun ready made that will suit the 
figure, and at the same time meet all the other requirements of 
the sportsman as in Gauge, Lengthy Bend, Hiyle, Shooting 
PoicerSy and Price, causes the majority of first class shots to have 
their guns bnilt to 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 
difficulty we have established a house in New Y’ork. thus enabling 
sportsmen to trade direct with the gnn maker. We are now pre- 
pared to accept from sportsmen orders to build FINE GUNS of 
any desired measorement, at our liei priceey which we forward with 
illustrated description of our guns on application.

cap ejettors, holes punched through caps, screw bead shells that 
corrijde and cannot be iinscrcw*ed after alittle use. In a word, it will 
supircecle all other shells now in use.
