Oh! Mr. Trapshooter!

Shotguns and Loaded Shells 
W. R. CROSBY. 
Using Winchester Loaded Shells, 
he outshot all other trapshooters 
for the season of 1912. 
The record and statistical department of a certain gun and 
ammunition company has been working overtime lately. 
Its resultant achievements suggest and compare favorably 
with the stories of Aladdin’s Lamp, and the Wonderful 
Bag in “The Swiss Family Robinson.’’ The former 
simply had to be rubbed and the latter only dug into in 
order to produce anything, no matter how weird or im¬ 
possible the demand might be. 
The latest tit-bit that this indefatigable department has 
favored the trap-shooting world with is that over 5000 
more trap-shooters used their shells in 1912 than used 
any other make, and that over 1900 more trap-shooters 
used their guns in 1912 than used any other make. If 
Winchester Loaded Shells were used by 5000 fewer 
trap-shooters than used the other fellow’s, it is as plain as 
the nose on one’s face that the \A/ brand had 5000 less 
chances of winning the highest average for the season’s 
shooting, yet Winchester Loaded Shells did win that 
coveted honor. That’s quality for you. 
The same reasoning applies to guns, for, notwithstand¬ 
ing those 1900 more guns of the other fellow’s, a 
Winchester Repeating Shotgun outshot all other repeaters 
in the race for the high average for the season’s shooting. 
C. G. SPENCER. 
The man who pointed the Win¬ 
chester Repeating Shotgun which 
outshot all other repeaters for the 
season of 1912. 
If you “get us,’’ and we believe that you do, you can’t help but agree that winning against the tremendous odds which the other 
fellow says Winchester Shotguns and Loaded Shells had to contend with, proves the superiority of the W brand more con¬ 
clusively than any other conceivable test could. 
P. S. We hate to spoil this convincing proof of the superiority of Winchester 
Shotguns and Loaded Shells, but frankness compels us to say that the 
other fellow’s figures are conspicuously inexact. They were shaken from 
some imagination tree. 
“you can fool ^ome of the people all of the time^ and all of the people some of the time, 
but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.”
