September is the hunter’s month. 1906 will be a banner year in the game field if the reports which are coming 
in from all over the country prove true. Better game protection throughout the country has increased ducks in the 
North and quail in the South. Favorable weather has allowed birds to hatch. All is ready for the sportsman. 
There is a U. M. C. Shell for every game bird and a cartridge especially adapted for all big game. The hard and 
uniform shooting quality of U. M. C. shells is produced by the perfection of manufacture, standard and time-tested 
powders used, uniform pressure on the exactly gauged wads, the firm crimp, etc., but back of it all, the U. M. C. 
primer, which has never been equaled. 
\S. M. C. Shells at the start mean heanJy pockets at the finish.
