The points behind Arrow Shells are of interest to every shooter who points a gun. We mention the following : Factory Experts—Famous for their inventions and accepted as authority on all shot shell questions. Workmanship—Skillful hands and the finest machinery make the highest grade of material procurable into U. M. C. Ammunition. Factory inspection—So thorough that practically perfect goods are produced. The Inspection Department connected with loaded shells numbers several hundred. Factory Tests — Every lot of U. M. C. Shells put through the factory is repeatedly tested. Unless up to the .high factory standard they are not put on the market. There is a reason for U. M. C. quality. THE UNION METALLIC CARTRIDGE COMPANY. Agency, 313 Broadway, New York City.

.32 AND .35 CALIBER SELF-LOADING RIFLES The Winchester Model 1905 Self-Loading Rifle is not cumbersome, complicated and unsightly like most other self-loading firearms, but a simple, handsome, well-balanced gun. The Winchester self-loading system permits rapid shooting with great accuracy and on account of the novelty and ease of its .operation adds much to the pleasure of rifle shooting either at target or game. For certain kinds of hunting where the quarry is generally shot on the run, the Winchester Self-Loading Rifle is particularly well adapted. The .32 and .35 caliber cartridges that the Model 1905 handles are of the modern smokeless powder type and give excellent penetration and great shocking effect on animal tissue.
