GREENER GUNS WEAR. 
Durability is a quality that has made the Greener gun 
famous for three generations. The Greener product goes 
through the hands of 200 of the highest paid and most skill- 
ful workmen it is possible to obtain, and as a result the © 
Greener gun is known all over the world for its careful fit— 
ting and general durability. 
The following unsolicited testimonial well illustrates this 
wonderful wearing quality, and we have had other testimoni- 
als describing Greener guns that have been in constant and 
effective service for fifty years. 
The Old Gun House 

“W. W. Greener, Birmingham, England. 
“My Dear Sir—Excuse me for taking your valuable time, but I want to 
extend my most sincere thanks and gratitude to you for the great pleasure you 
have afforded me during the past thirty-five years by making a gun that certainly 
has stood the test that'few can equal. The number of my old No. 10-gauge is 
11722. I bought it of E. E. Eaton, 53 State St., Chicago, Ill., the fall of 1870, and 
paid him an even $200 for the gun, case and loading tools; $175 for the gun alone. 
“Now that my good and true old horse died a short time ago, my present dog is 
getting old, and I, too, am not so young as I used to be, I have laid aside my 
good old true and faithful friend, until such time as I am laid to rest, when it 
will be in the box with me. But here goes for a big but true story. 
“During thirty-five years my old companion has missed but one season’s shoot- 
ing; during all these years she has piled up her share of game—ducks, geese, 
chicken, quail, pheasants, etc.—and back in the ’70’s she never failed to do her 
duty at all shooting matches. I doubt if ever there was a gun made that has been 
used as much as mine, and especially with the heavy loads I have always used, 
and to-day it would bother you to find a scratch or mar about her, and her barrels 
are as clean and smooth inside as a dollar; and, stranger yet, this old friend of 
mine has not cost me five cents for repairs except an extra set of firing pins, 
and she looks good for many years to come. No gun ever made is a harder 
shooter than mine. Never once missed fire, and I do not know, but it seems to 
me to be impossible to miss a bird; and only last fall she was just as true as 
ever, and never failed to do her duty. 
“My brother bought a 12-gauge W. W. Greencr at the same time, and up to his 
death, seven years ago, she stood the test. I bought a 12-gauge Greener about 
1875 for a present to a friend. It also proved to be all right, although I lost 
track of it twenty years ago. 
“Excuse me for taking your valuable time, but so many times I have felt so 
grateful towards you for furnishing me with such a true and faithful companion 
that I now feel that I want to thank you a thousand times for the pleasure and 
satisfaction you have afforded me in the last thirty-five years. : 
“Your guns may be just as good now as then, but I do not happen to see any 
of them since I came to Minnesota twenty years ago. I do know that none of 
the new guns I see that I would exchange my old favorite No. 11722 for to-day. 
Very sincerely your friend, 
“C, A, LauGuHton.” 
We have a splendid stock of Greener guns on hand, from 
4% lbs. 28 bores, to 22 Ibs. double 4-bores, and a catalogue 
describing them is free for the asking.
