FACTORY LOADED SHOTGUN SHELLS 
ISi GRAND AMERICAN HANDICAP 
The Winner An Amateur. 
This great event, the most important Handicap on the shooting calendar, was won by Mr. Fred 
Harlow, a Newark, Ohio, Amateur, from a field of 331 of the best amateurs und professionals 
in the country. His score was 92 out of 100. and 18 out of 20 on the shoot-off of the tie. 
Mr. Harlow’s triumph places him in the front rank of trap shots, and also again proves that 
Winchester Shotgun Shells are loaded so uniformly and scientifically, that they shoot perfectly 
under all conditions in any kind of gun. 
The Gun and Shell Record 
Winchester Factory Loaded Shells not only carried off the honor of winning the Grand American, but also the blue ribbon of 
popularity. Although there were five different kinds of shells used, over 45 per cent, were Winchester Factory Loads, a hand¬ 
some increase over their wonderful showing in 1907. The popularity of Winchester Repeating Shotguns was shown in the 
same pronounced way. Out of the innumerable different makes of shotguns used, over 40 per cent, were Winchester Repeat¬ 
ing Shotguns—the repeater that is endorsed by the United States Ordnance Board for reliability, strength and accuracy. These 
figures show that the majority of shooters the country over know that Winchester shells and guns—the red W brand—are the 
ones to pin their faith to in all important matches.
