STEVENS  “  SURE  SHOT  ”  RIFLE. 
The  “  Sure  Shot”  weighs  about  3%  pounds,  has  a  20-inch  barrel,  is  22  calibre 
and  takes  a  22-calibre  rim-fire  cartridge ;  either  a  long  rifle,  short,  conical,  or  B  B 
Flobert  cartridge.  The  barrel  can  be  easily  detached,  and  the  rifle  packed  in  a 
very  small  space.  The  stock 
is  of  black  walnut,  beautifully 
modeled.  The  action  outside 
is  nickeled  or  case-hardened ; 
the  hammer  and  barrel  are 
blued.  The  barrel  of  Stevens’s 
rifles  have  a  world-wide  repu¬ 
tation,  and  expert  riflemen  concede  their  superiority.  The  barrels  of  the  new 
“  Sure  Shot  ”  are  made  by  the  same  machinery  and  by  the  same  expert  mechanics, 
and  the  finish  of  these  barrels  inside  is  in  every  way  equal  to  those  on  the 
highest-cost  rifles.  The  shooting  of  the  little  “  Sure  Shot”  rifle  will  be  found  to  be 
of  the  highest  order;  in  fact,  it  is  a  rifle  equal  to  the  best  in  accuracy,  but  less 
elaborately  finished  than  the  finest  rifles.  Price,  $10  ;  with  a  three  years’  subscrip¬ 
tion,  $10  ;  with  10  new  subscriptions,  $16. 
Rolled  Plate  Gold  Chains.  Solid  Gold-Filled  Rings. 
For  a  gold  watch  chain  one  formerly 
had  to  buy  all  gold,  but  now  watch 
chains  are  made  with  a  heavy  plate  of 
gold  on  the  out¬ 
side,  and  we  are 
obliged  to  pay  for 
only  what  i  s 
wanted.  We  have 
selected  two  o  f 
the  most  desir¬ 
able.  They  are 
14k.  rolled  plate, 
and  will  wear  for 
years  if  properly 
cared  for.  They 
are  gold  soldered

making  it  stiff  and  dur¬ 
able.  This  is  a  beauty  in 
workmanship.  Usual

Offer  No.  1C3.  THE  COLUMBUS  WATCH. 
—Watch-makers  have  for  many  years  been  trying  to 
produce  a  watch  that  would  be  like  a  $100  solid  gold 
watch  In  everything  except  the  expense.  This  has 
been  accomplished.  The  Waltham  Watch  Company 
has  produced  a  most  beautiful  watch,  made  for 
people  who  wish  to  carry  a  “thin  model”  watch. 
We  mean  that  this  watch  does  not  take  up  much 
room  In  the  pocket,  the  case  being  of  the  regular 
strength  and  thickness.  It  Is  made  of  two  plates  of 
solid  gold  14k  line,  so  thick  that  they  will  last  20 
years.  Between  these  Is  a  thin  sheet  of  composition 
metal,  the  purpose  of  which  Is  to  protect  the  works 
from  damage  when  the  watch  Is  pressed  or  struck 
This  feature  saves  many  a  bill  for  repairs,  a  great 
point  for  people  at  a  distance  from  reliable  watch¬ 
makers.  The  ring,  joint  plugs,  thumb  piece,  and  all 
parts  subjected  to  constant  wear  are  solid  gold  and 
will  wear  for  generations.  The  works  contain  Logan’s 
celebrated  Breguet  hair  spring,  a  regulator  so  plain 
that  a  child  can  use  It,  seven  jewels,  compensating 
expansion  balance,  safety  pinion,  stem  winding  and 
pendant  setting  apparatus,  and  many  other  Improve¬ 
ments,  the  enumeration  of  which  would  be  super¬ 
fluous.  The  works  resemble  the  celebrated  Waltham 
“Riverside,”  a  movement  known  the  world  over. 
We  offer  this  watch  to  Rural  subscribers  only,  but 
any  subscriber  may  buy  all  he  wishes  to  sell  over
