Parker Gun Victories in 1912 
' I "'HE highest official average for the season of 1912 at both Single 
and Double Targets was made with Parker Guns. 
As on every previous occasion, the bona fide Championship of 
America was won with a Parker Gun, Mr. W. R. Crosby scoring 
198 X 200 targets at 18 yards rise. Same man, same gun, made the World’s 
Record, scoring 98 x 100 targets at 23 yards, which is a truly wonderful 
performance.

for oiling trigger, lock, every action part. Does 
not dry out quickly like heavier oils, gum, harden 
or collect dust no matter how long gun stands. 
‘‘3 in One” cleans out the residue of burnt powder 
(black or smokeless) after shooting, leaving the 
barrel cleanand shiny. It actually penetrates 
the pores of the metal, forming a delicate per¬ 
manent protecting coat that is absolutely j 
impervious to water or weather. No acid, f
