“STANDING PAT" 
Amateur shooters everywhere are ‘‘standing pat using U. M. C. steel lined Shells. Aj 
the finely managed New York State Shoot, held under the auspices of the Masonic 
Temple Gun Club, Syracuse, last week, 11 of the 18 highest amateurs used 
U.M.C. STEEL-LINED SHELLS 
Out of 141 shooters at the tournament, 62 chose U. M. C. because they had confidence in 
the best shells on earth. Among the professionals Mr. H. H. Stevens was the shining 
star. He won the 
Highest General Average of New York State Shoot 
for the three days, scoring 466 ex 500, and the 
H. W. SMITH TROPHY 
scoring 49 ex 50. Mr. Stevens used regular factory loaded U. M. C. steel lined Shells— 
the kind so many of the amateurs used. The U. M. C. style of wadding, crimping and 
loading is famous for its perfect pattern and penetration.
