There Are No Powders “Just As Good As” 
Du Pont, Ballistite, 
Schultze or Empire 
“’T’HE proof of the pudding 
A is in the eating,”—more 
shooters are using Du Pont 
Sporting Powders today than 
all other sporting powders com¬ 
bined. The confidence in the 
load you are using is a strong 
factor in making a good score 
or in bringing home a full game 
bag. Enjoy that confidence by 
selecting Du Pont Powders— 
the powders which embrace 
1 1 1 years’ experience in pow¬ 
der making—use the powders 
“father used to shoot.”

It’s the powder that makes the shot go and

was nothing doing at the grounds. The club has ar¬

and one that will attract a large number of local and

with four prizes in each event—turkey, duck, chicken 
and can of select oysters for first, second, third and 
fourth high scores respectively. Entrance for the entire 
program will be $3.50, including targets. All start at 
16yds., winners of first prize being handicapped in fol¬ 
lowing events. All ties will be shot off miss-and-out. 
Class shooting. If there are twenty or more entries for 
the entire program, a turkey will be given to the high 
and the low man in the 100 targets. The high man in 
the first event will go back to 18yds. for the second 
event; if he wins again, he will go to 19yds., and a 
third win puts him back to 20yds.

suburb of Cincinnati, and was incorporated on Dec. 5 
with the following officers: Peter Ruehlman, Jr., Pres¬ 
ident; John Snyder, Secretary; A. C. Kuball, Treas¬
