“LEADER.” SHELLS, 
his score being 89 out of 100 targets shot from the 
19-yard mark. High general average was won by W. 
R. Crosby, also using Winchester “Leader” Shells. 
This tournament, held at Los Angeles, Sept. 8, 9, 10, 
was the last of the series given this year by the Inter¬ 
state Association, which included the Southern, Grand 
American, Eastern, Western and Pacific Coast Handi¬ 
caps. The principal event in four out of these five tourn¬ 
aments was won with Winchester shells; and in the 
Eastern Handicap Tournament, the Preliminary Handi¬ 
cap and Professional and Amateur Averages were won 
with Winchester shell Altogether it was a grand 
“scoop” for Winchester. This is something more than 
mere chance, don’t you think so? It proclaims with 
trumpet sound the incomparable, always-to-be-relied- 
upon quality of Winchester shells, and leaves all other 
makes far in the shade. 
WINCHESTER SHELLS MAKE WINNERS

ings are more largely patronized than for the past few 
years.
