SHOTGUNS AND SHELLS Winchester Repeating Shotguns and Winchester Shotgun Shells are just as reliable and satisfactory for bird shooting as Winchester Rifles and Winchester Cartridges are for big game hunting, and sportsmen know this means as per fect an equipment as can be made. You can spend a great deal more money for a shotgun than a Winchester will cost you, but you cannot get a better shoot ing or better wearing gun, no matter what you pay. Winchester "Brush" Shells are something new and desirable for bird shooting. They are so loaded that, without the sacrifice of velocity, penetration, or uniformity, they will make an open and even pattern at from twenty-five to thirty yards in choke bore guns. Winchester Guns and Winchester Shells are sold everywhere. WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS co NEW HAVEN CONN
