Have won a place among shooters which shows U. M. C. quality to be practically perfect. 
The sure fire primer, the superior system of wadding, the crimp—all factors which go to 
make up “game getting” loads—are combined in U. M. C. Arrow and Nitro Club Shells. 
To users of Autoloading or Pump Guns U. M. C. Shells are especially satisfactory, because 
they work through the magazine so freely. That is, the crimp is rounded so as not to 
catch, the shell dimensions are uniform and the waterproofing prevents swelling under 
reasonable conditions. 
U. M. C. Arrow and Nitro Club Shells are Steel Lined

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Manager Geo. L. Carter, of Lincoln, Neb., writes us 
under date of Sept. 24, as follows: “The Capitol Beach 
Gun Club will give a tournament Nov. 10 and 11, with 
added money. No manufacturers will be asked to take 
advertising space, as we have the money in our treas¬ 
ury, a result of 139 entries at our State tournament last 
spring, and we are going to hang it up with an in¬ 
vitation to the boys to come and take it.” 
The chicken and corn tournament, which was fixed 
to be held at Aberdeen, Md., on Sept. 22, and which 
was postponed, will be held on Oct. 7, when the pro¬ 
gramme as originally announced will be carried out in 
full. Mr. Lester S. German will be manager of the 
tournament.
