The Remington UMC Pump Gun—the first hammerless solid breech re¬ 
peating shotgun— % 
The Remington UMC Autoloading Shotgun with its locked breech—also 
the first hammerless arm of its kind— 
No sportsman needs to be told what such PRACTICAL betterments mean 
to him as well as to the whole shooting sport. The simplicity, the easy 
operation, the results, have popularized these splendid shotguns among the 
shooters of discriminating tastes. 
Known as “The Speed Shells” from coast 
to coast, ARROW and NITRO CLUB 
Steel Lined Shotshells are used by a 
majority of our leading trap and field 
shooters because they are absolutely de¬ 
pendable and just a fraction of a second 
quicker in getting to the mark. The 
steel lining does it. 
Your nearest Remington UMC dealer— 
the man who has the Red Ball Sign of 
Sportmen’s Headquarters on his store— 
will be glad to serve your Remington 
UMC wants.

THE ROBERTSON COLLECTION 
The J. Ross Robertson Ornithological 
Collection, embracing a large number of 
original water colors depicting early bird 
life in the province of Ontario, Canada, 
was recently presented to the public library 
board of Toronto. 
The collection was made by William 
Pope, an Englishman, who spent the great¬ 
er part of his life in Western Ontario. It 
forms a valuable record of bird life of the 
province in the early days. 
SILVER TIP FOX PROVES PROS- 
PECTOR’S BEST STRIKE 
John Hanson, a prospector of central 
Idaho, has traveled hundreds of miles over 
mountain peaks in search for veins of 
silver and gold nuggets, but he never made 
any luckier strike with his pick than he 
did with his gun recently, says The Spo¬ 
kane Chronicle. It was when Hanson 
brought down a silver tip fox with a pelt 
valued at $1,000. The animal was jet black 
except for a snow ball at the end of the 
brush and a few white spines along the 
back.
