FRANCOTTE GUN 
-WINS- 
Amateur Championship of the United States 
at N, Y. Athletic Club Shoot, Travers Island 
December 17th, 1908 
Francotte guns have a habit of winning and leading other guns. 
The day following the Championship, three different gentlemen, 
shooting Francotte guns, cleaned up most prizes at the New York 
Athletic Club shoot. The Francotte gun is a gentleman’s gun. 
They are chosen by shooters who want the best money can buy and 
the gun backs up the skill of the shooter and both win on their merit. 
Moreover, "a thing of beauty is a joy forever,”' and certainly no make 
of gun is the peer of a Francotte in beauty, style and finish. Address
