A Mew Breech-Loading Rifle 
WOR ^ 5 . 
WITH ELEVATING SIGHTS GRADUATED 
HP TO 700 YARDS, USING EITHER FIXED 
CARTRIDGES OR RELOADABLE METAL¬ 
LIC SHELLS. 
CAN BE USED AS A MUZZLE-LOADER. 
THIS IS THE BIGGEST BARGAIN WE EVER OFFERED! 
The Rifles are all bran new and just as they came frr'm the factory. They cost to 
manufacture over $15 apiece, and are superior shooters; they are very finely finished, with case-hardened 
locks, blued mountings, and handsomely formed black walnut stock ; barrel is of the best steel, finely rifled. 
The lock and graduated sight alone cost $ 5 , and as handsome and well made a rifle cannot be bought m the 
United States for $ 20 . The loading arrangement is a drop action, similar to a Ballard or Sharp, the simplest 
and best. Every man and boy in this country who needs a rifle should purchase one of these guns. Such a 
bargain will never be offered again. The editor of the cc Boston Globe” says:—“ Messrs. Turner <5 r 9 Ross 
have offered many inducements to gun buyers , but their new $5 rifle is the most unparalleled bargain we 
ever heard of; it is well worth $ 25 , and we know thai the firm is perfectly reliable .” We have furnished 
several rifle clubs with this rifle, and have received many praises for their shooting qualities. If you have 
any need of a rifle, either for use or trade, order at once and say that you want our New Union Rifle, so as 
not to conflict with former advertisements. Remember that these guns are bran new, cost the 
manufacturer over $15 apiece, and that we guarantee_ them as represented Where 
parties wish it, we will, as heretofore, send a duplicate express receipt by mail. Cartridges, 30 c. a box. 
Metallic shells, 50 c. a box. G. W. TURNER & ROSS, 26 Central Street, Boston, Mass. Say where you 
saw this.
