RANGES. 
A small bore rifle, of good design and construction, 
with such a cartridge as the Remington-UMC .22 
Long Rifle rim fire, is as effective as any for target 
shooting up to 100 yards. In designing a range, there¬ 
fore, you are not necessarily limited to 75 feet, in 
fact, ranges which admit of shooting at several longer 
distances, such as 50 and 100 yards afford more variety 
and are on many grounds preferable. While, however, 
75 ft. ranges can often be built in some existing 
building at relatively little cost, longer distances mean 
outdoor shooting and specially constructed ranges for 
making such shooting possible at all seasons. For 
ajgggss

Fox-Sterlingworth 
is a good, plain gun. It has all 
the features that make FOX 
Guns “The Finest Guns in 
the World.’’ It is backed by 
the FOX Guarantee—and the 
FOX-PROOF. It is built for 
the man who wants a working- 
gun—and not a fancy plaything. 
After you have handled and 
tested the Fox-Sterlingworth 
At Your Dealer's 
you will consider $25 a very low price 
for it. With the Automatic Ejector 
$32.50, and the Fox-Kautzky Single 
Trigger, $52.50. Either with or without 
the ejector and single trigger this gun 
will prove more valuable than many 
higher-priced makes. 
Tell your dealer you have heard of the “20 
Reasons Why” FOX Guns are superior and 
want to be “shown.” Ifhe cannot accommodate 
you, write us, giving his name, and our Catalog 
and full information about all our guns will be 
forwarded to you,
