THE BLACK SHELLS WIN 
G. A. H. High Amateur Average 
At the Grand American Handicap, Springfield, Ill., 
Mark Arie, shooting THE BLACK SHELLS, won 
the Amateur High Average on all targets during 
the shoot, breaking 746 x 800. 
Mr. Arie also won the Amateur Championship for 
Doubles, breaking 89 x 100, using THE BLACK 
SHELLS. 
These splendid records were made possible by the 
uniformity of pattern, instantaneous ignition and 
absolute reliability of THE BLACK SHELL.

Y OU know mallards—wisest and wariest of all 
ducks—Solomons of the air. You can’t knock 
down mallards with a paddle nor can you get them 
with a gun that plasters its shots all over the face 
of creation. 
A mallard shot is generaliy a long shot, and long 
shots require a hard-shooting, close-shooting gun. 
That’s why the long-headed man who goes to a 
mallard country takes a Lefe/er. When he swings 
it on a towering pair of mallards he does not ques¬ 
tion the result. He know it — 
TWO CLEAN KILLS 
The reason a Lefever kills clean and sure and 
far is Lefever Taper Boring. 
But if you buy a Lefever for the taper boring 
alone, you will get more than your money’s worth. 
For instance, you will never be handicapped with 
looseness at the hinge joint. The exclusive Lefever 
screw compensates for a year's wear by a trifling 
turn that you make yourself with a screwdriver. 
LEFEVER 
SHOT GUNS 
Sixteen other exclusive Lefever features and Lefe¬ 
ver simplicity and strength make the $28 gun the 
peer of any S50 gun on the market. Upwards to 
M ,000. Send for free catalog and get Lefever wise.

No Shortcomings 
The Smith Gun has no shortcomings—not one. The 6 Hunter 
brothers, with inventions, precision, workmanship and experience, 
kept after shot gun shortcomings for 22 years, until they had wiped 
out the last and least important one. 
“6 Times 22 Years Experience” gives the shooter of a Smith 
Gun the fullest possible pleasure in the field, and the maximum 
game in his bag. 
Ask your dealer to show you the new L. C. Smith 20-gauge.
