Mr. Trap Shooter, let that be your watchword for 1909. “I never used such a snappy) 
satisfactory load,” was so often remarked by users of U. M. C. shells at the big shoots in 1908 
that it was a matter of general comment. Stand by this U. M. C. added quality and get some 
of the added moneys you wouldn’t otherwise “shoot into.” 
Mr. Game Shooter, you should remember that U. M. C. Quality has always stood for the 
best there is in shell making. U. M. C. shells have always been kept in the lead by pushing 
forward new ideas. The steel lining is the final step forward which separates U. M.'C. shells 
from shells without this added quality. They cost no more.
