There were 68 shooters at the shoot given by the Tannhauser Gun Club, St. Louis, Mo., 66 of whom shot Winchester Loaded Shells. C. G. Spencer, F. W. Hoyt and Horace Heikes won first, second and third professional averages respectively, and all shot Winchester Loaded Shells and Win chester Shotguns. A. D. Mermod, J. W. Bell and Dr. W. S. Spencer were the three high amateurs, and they too all shot Winchester Loaded Shells, and Mr. Mermod and Dr. Spencer Winchester Shot guns also. The Ballistite Trophy, the other honor at this tournament, was won by Dr. Scherzinger with Winchester Loaded Shells. Fifty-three shooters, all shooting Winchester Loaded Shells, was the record at a recent all-day shoot held in Houston, Texas. It is evident from this that Texans are not only good shots, but that they know which are the best shells. At this shoot Otto Sens, L. Moeser and H. Howard won the first three averages, Messrs. Sens and Howard shooting Winchester Shotguns. At the Waverly, Minn., tournament, 25 of the 30 shooters present shot Winchester Loaded Shells. The winners of the three amateur averages, Messrs. Jones, L. E. Parker and Stewart all shot them, and the two latter Winchester Shotguns as well. The Winchester showing at these tournaments is true of many others the country over and tells a convincing story of the popularity, superiority and reliability of LOADED SHELLS WINCHESTER AND SHOTGUNS PHILADELPHIA LEAGUE. of 170 targets.
