WINCHESTER SHOTGUNS 
FIRST IN WINNINGS—FIRST IN POPULARITY 
The outcome of the big tournament held at Chicago, June 18-21, was substantially 
the same as in 1906; that is, another practical demonstration of the overwhelming 
popularity and winning qualities of Winchester Shells and Winchester Shotguns. Five 
out of seven firsts is the record they made. The Amateur and Professional Cham- 
pionship Contests, (200 targets at 18 yards rise) conceded to be the most trying and 
conclusive tests of shooting skill and merit of shells and guns, were both decisive 
victories for Winchester Shells and Winchester Shotguns. 
A word as to their wonderful popularity shown at this tournament, and then for the 
records. The maximum number of contestants on any one day was 452. Of this 
number, 196 (43 per cent.) used. Winchester Shells, and 158 (35 per cent.) used 
Winchester Shotguns. As there were five different brands of shells and innumerable 
makes of guns used, the percentage of Winchester Shells and Winchester Shotguns 
is the strongest kind of proof of our oft-stated claim that they are the most popular 
among American shooters.
