HEER'S 1906 RECORD STILL SUPREME WITH U. M. C. SHELLS 
J/L. D. Morrison leads all shooters in his class, for 1907, with a score of .9578 
Shooting Arrow Shot Shells 
W. H. Heer broke .939; G. W. Maxwell .933; R. O. Heikes .925 in their classes, while amateurs with U M C shells 
made .92s and .910. , 
HONORS GALORE 
Think of the significance of the following statement: It is the record of marvellous marksmanship which has never before 
honored any one make of shot shells and may never again. F L Iore 
There were 10 Interstate Handicaps in 1907 and U. M. C. Shells were used by the winners of 8 The oth winner nserl 
^ U. M. C. shells and the 10th only used another make. V winner used 
At Richmond, at Chicago, at Boston, at Denver, at Spokane, U. M. C. Quality was always in evidence'land the winners 
relied upon it. 
HONORS EXCLUSIVE 
The American International Military Team, discarding all other makes, chose and used U. M. C. .30 Government Cartridges 
exclusively, and won the Military Championship of the world at Ottawa last September. In 1903 also the American Team 
used U. M. C. Cartridges exclusively. 
HONORS UNIQUE 
U. M. C. .22s proved their worth in November when Wm. Akard with a rifle broke 15,000 targets thrown by himself and 
1659 small marbles without a miss. U. M. C. .22 black powder cartridges required the rifle to be cleaned but once a day!
