WARNING 
One of New York’s big water mains burst under Fifth Avenue and the Niagara 
Water entered the basement of our new store at 349 Fifth Avenue, opposite 
the Waldorf-Astoria, and within a few minutes we had tourteen feet of water 
in the whole spacious room. We had almost finished our new costly mahogany 
fixtures on the ground floor, and our incomparable stock cf fine Francotte guns 
and New Model ‘‘Knockabout’’ Guns, Mauser Rifles and Pistols, as well 
as Mannlicher-Shoenauer rifles were upstairs. and the finest and largest stock 
of high-grade ** Smith * Guns which is probably carried by any dealer in. this 
Country, Fine Fishing Tackle and Photographic Goods were also out of 
harm’s way. Many other goods down-stairs were being whirled around for 
hours in the basement salesroom like a canoe in Niagara’s whirlpool. Large 
shipments of the finest imported English Leather Goods, Luncheon Baskets 
and a full stock of the finest Athletic Goods, Tennis Goods, and a fully 
equipped Golf Department and many other articles received their baptism in 
the new place. Carpenters were at work in the basement and our fixtures here 
were almost completed. ‘The force of the water was such that it burst the steel 
and cement wall separating us from the Billings basement, and partitions and 
wall were forced some sixty feet north. The wreck in these goods is complete, 
and we herewith notify our many friends and customers that while our Gun and 
Ammunition business has not been crippled in the least, our Golf, Tennis 
and Athletic Goods Departments, which are new additions to our business, 
will be put back some weeks. Our loss will be more indirect than direct, as we 
naturally will be reimbursed for damage done. Our ground floor store, which 
we endeavor to make the most elegant, finest exclusive sporting goods 
establishment in the world, has not been touched, and in making repairs in 
the basement, we expect to make a few changes, which will make this spacious 
salesroom even better than it would have been without the bursting of the main. 
We hope to see our old friends at our new place, which we will occupy 
exclusively in a few weeks.

Established 1826 The Old Gun House 
AT THE SIGN OF 
THE BLUE ROCK 
Superior shooting qualities 
have always been closely 
linked in the public mind with: 
the Greener gun, and since 
the invention of the Greener 
choke bore in 1875 the dis- 
tribution of shot at long 
range has been much im- 
proved. In fact, it is only 
by adopting the Greener 
system of choke boring that 
scientific distribution of shot 
is possible. By this system 
the results have remained 
regular through long series 
of shots with over 80 per 
cent. of the standard charge 
evenly distributed in a 30 inch circle at 40 yards. 
So much sought after is this extra close shooting, if coupled 
with even distribution, that it is by common consent rated as the 
most essential quality in a shotgun and is the hardest to produce. 
An interesting example of this quality was shown in a Greener 
gun used by the late E. D. Fulford, in which he killedi.421 live 
pigeons straight with one retrieved dead out of bounds, which is 
a record that has never even been approached for closeness and 
regularity of shooting. x 
This special feature is found. in all Greener Grand Prize 
pigeon guns, and the distinguishing mark of this grade is an 
English Blue Rock Pigeon engraved on the rib. 
Where this is found it is a guarantee that the gun has been 
specially bored for close pattern and even distribution. Guns 
bored this way are equally valuable for live birds, clay targets, 
duck shooting, etc. We have a large stock of them in all grades.
