TO SPORTSMEA 
Desiring Pine Pnglisli Dons 
Built to Order. 
For many years past our specialty hat 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 Wtight, OuuQt, Length, Bend, Style, Shooting 
Powers, and Price, causes the majority of first class shots to have 
their gnns built to special order. The great drawback heretofore 
to this method of procuring a FINE GUN has been the extrava- 
gant and fancy prices charged for sneh 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, ct our list prices, which we forward with 
Ulnstrated description of onr gnns on application.

These Shells uulh slotted heads are so constructed as to enable 
sportsmen easily to remove ihe exploded caps from the outside with 
any pointed instrument— even a common pocket knife will do the 
work successfully. Once seen Sportsmen will use no other shell, as 
it obviates all trouble with broken down anvils, broken points in 
cap ejectors, holes punched through 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 use .
