STEEL LINED SHELLS 
A Steel Band Inside The Paper 
Pick up a U M C Steel Lined Shell and you are 
impressed with its beautiful finish. The brass, 
the tough specially waterproofed paper, the 
splendid workmanship, present a beautiful Out= 
side appearance. 
And cut one open. Inside around the smoke¬ 
less powder you find a tough band of steel—the 
Steel Lining. That is a protection found in no other shell made in 
America. 
The Steel Lining costs you nothing but the safeguard of asking for 
UMC Steel Lined Shells. 
Your dealer will supply you—if not, please write us. 
UMC Steel Lined Shells won the 5 Blue 
Ribbon Shooting Handicaps of 1909.
