We employ the most skilled workmen it’s .

than any other gun factory. We get in return a higher grade of work. 
Our policy is—**Quality first ; cost afterwards.” 
This combination of finest aaterials and best workmanship, with the 
most advanced and simplified mechanical principle, is what makes the 
A. H. Fox Gun 
“The Finest Gun in the World.” The Fox Gun has fewer parts in its mechanism than any other 
gun. Hence is stronger and less liable to break or to get out of order. “This gives less complica- 
tion, better balance and more graceful lines. 
Each part of the gun receives exact testing and gauging, and after assembling is finally tested by 
an expert trap and field shooter. Ask your dealer to show you the “‘Ansley H. Fox’’ Gun.
