STEEL LINED SHELLS 
Protection Around the Smokeless Powder— 
Doesn’t That Appeal to You? 
Put it this way! If unlined and Steel Lined Shells were 
offered you gratis , wouldn’t you take Steel Lined 
every time? 
At your dealer’s wouldn’t you gladly pay more for U. M. C. 
Steel Lined Shells than for the unlined makes ? Yet he will 
ask you no more. 
That’s because there is no extra charge for the Steel Lining which 
keeps out the dampness and is put there free for your protection. 
Insist upon U.M.C. Steel Lined Shells, and if your dealer won’t 
supply you, write us. 
Hunt with U. M. C. Game Laws and Guide Directory 
in your pocket.
