THE STEEL LINING MEANS STEEL-STRENGTH. 
The powder charge in U. M. C. Arrow and Nitro Club shells is surrounded by the steel lining—a 
tough band of steel. The powder rests entirely against this steel— not against the paper. No 
other American shell manufacturer supplies this added protection of steel. What does it mean ? 
Safety in many ways. The gun is better protected and likewise the face of the sportsman. The 
powder also is protected from moisture, insuring more uniform loads in wet weather. The steel 
lining is the last step forward in shell making—the final touch of perfection. 
U. M. C. Shells cost more to make but no more to buy.

Athletic Club, 429. To complete the clean sweep, a 
member of the Bergen Beach Gun Club, Mr. Harry T. 
Lee, won the supplementary event. There wasn’t any¬ 
thing more to win. Thus the honors and prizes were 
gathered in with serenity, neatness and precision, the 
habit of years being in evidence therewith, something 
as if it were the Bergen Beach Gun Club’s spring crop 
to be gathered home.
