with a bang 
US Trap-Shells, loaded with Cork-Tex wads, were first brought 
out about a year ago. At that time, we had to ask you to take 
our word that here were good trap-shells made better. Now, 
you have the say-so of thousands of trapshooters to go by, for 
Cork -Tex wadded shells have gone over with a bang. Trap- 
shooters all along the line have taken to these corking fine shells 
and are passing the good word along. 
Cork-Tex wads give a better gas seal and therefore more dense, 
more even patterns. Having a greater cushioning effect, they reduce the 
recoil or “kick” and the tendency to flinch. Being damp-proof, they 
keep the inside moisture in and the outside moisture out, with the result 
that the moisture content of the powder stays fixed—no squib loads. 
All these advantages make for more uniform results and higher 
scores. Shooters who pull the trigger on Cork-Tex wadded US Trap- 
Shells,are breaking more straights, powdering more birds and leaving 
fewer pick-ups.
