When we offered our new Rob Roy at $2.50 we considered that we were offering the biggest bargain ever known, and we gfl -I 
were; but the Alexis is a better weapon in every particular than the Rob Roy. and la as good in every way and better in some Hi

United Stutos than elsewhere, nnd cheaper; just before the late Turco-Ruasian war the largest order ever placed in this conn- ^ ““ s=a==

& Co., for 3o,000 of the above Revolvers, the actual cost ot which was to he not less than $ti.50. The entire lot was put through the works, aud the first delivery 
and payment thereon made ; the war prevented the above firm from fulfilling the contract, and threw the goods back on the manufacturers’ hands, and we 
have just completed negotiations which gives us sole and exclusive control of the entire lot at, one-quarter their iictnnl cost. Every Revolver Is made
