There are a great many things that can make a repeat¬ 
ing shot-gun “hesitate”. A hesitating shot-gun is about 
as useful in the held or at the traps, as a man at an 
auction who stutters. The Stevens Six Shot Repeating Shot-gun does not hesitate. 
And remember that there is no possibility of any of the shells (either loaded or empty) 
clogging in the receiver. The Stevens is the only Repeater in the world that is abso¬ 
lutely clog-proof and non-balkable. That’s one point. There are many other features 
about the Stevens that are exclusive. For instance, the “self-pointing feature”. Do 
you know about it ? 
VVe have just issued a new Shot-gun Catalog No. 10 which contains 
all information about Rifles, Shot-guns, Pistols and Rifle Telescopes.
