A TRIAL BY JURY 
At the Portland (Oregon) Exposition, 1905, The Peters Cartridge Company made an exhibit of its goods, 
including Empty and Loaded Paper Shells, Metallic Cartridges for Rifle, Revolver and Pistol, Gun Wads, 
etc. The Jurymen who judged the exhibit were experts and acknowledged to be thoroughly competent to

This decision was reached after a canvass of past records made with Peters Ammunition; a minute examin-

qualities and unsurpassed finish of Xg XZ a XZ XZ Xg XZ Ne \g \g
