Just a Word with You Mr. Trapshooter ! JHOULD some solicitous shell man seek to have you promise to shoot his make of shells instead of the winning Winchester Factory Loaded brand at the Grand American Handicap this year, listen not to his dulcet tones of persuasion but turn toward him thine ear with the protector in. If he persists in his pleadings, tell him that you. are out to win and that Winchester Factory Loaded Shells are the winning ones. Remind him that the Grand Americans for 1905 and 1906 were won with Winchester Shells; that during the year they won the West ern Handicap, Pacific Coast Handicap, Sunny South Handicap, Interna tional Live Bird Championship, Grand Canadian Handicap; and were used by the shooter ,making the longest amateur run of 235 straight, and by the five-man squad which made a world©s record of 490 out of 500. Also that they won and hold all American and World©s Championship Trophies for target and live bird shooting. Shells that are able to make and hold such records as these tell their own story of uni formity, of reliability, of pattern, of penetration and all other qual ities desirable in shotgun shells.
