^£££(£££££1 Repeating Shotgun 
Made famous by its dependability. The solid top and side ejection keep gases and powder away from 
your eyes; help quick, effective repeat shots. Rain, sleet, snow and foreign matter can’t get into the action. 
The mechanism is strong, simple, wear-resisting. The double extractors pull any shell instantly; two special safety 
devices prevent accidental discharge while action is unlocked, and an automatic recoil block makes hangfires harmless. 
All Marlins are strongly made, finely balanced, accurate, hard hitting guns, and are the quickest and easiest to take down 
and clean. 12-ga. hammer and hammerless, 16-ga.light-weight repeaters; regular, trap and field models; $19.50 up.

editor, even if only a postal. Don't imagine 
the editor is a telepathist capable of gauging 
the thoughts and desires of thousands of readers. 
Too many subscribers are prone to think: "I 
would like more information on a couple of 
those subjects,” but dismiss the idea of writing 
to say so, with the thought: “Oh, somebody else 
may be writing,” but that ‘‘somebody else” may 
never write! Then—maybe after the appearance 
of a writer’s three-line post obit in the paper—a 
belated request for more information is received! 
As it is, the details given are necessarily 
fragmentary, so as to condense the subject, and 
yet have it complete as possible within the di¬ 
mensions of the usual magazine article (although 
the present paper appears in two parts).
