Our father had done some shooting in his youth and passed the interest on to us. From time to time Steve would bring home things that only served to stoke the fires of my curiosity. An empty dark green pasteboard box that once held Director Of Civilian Marksmanship issued Remington Kleenbore, a few expended cartridge cases, or a tattered target were like trash to some, but to me they were the wonders of Aladdin's cave. The real treasure was the tattered copies of The American Rifleman Magazine that Coach George Gregory would allow members to check out for a few days. After reading it, my brother would allow me a look. I recall having to do his turn at raking leaves, taking out the trash, and other household chores to earn the right to peek between the pages. I was even roundly thrashed after he discovered a glob of peanut butter and jelly that had escaped from my afternoon snack to sully the pages of the magazine, or at least that was the excuse he used for that particular beating. -

Sprightly stand-up character, that comes from Schlitz know-how in handling the sensitive ingredients of beer. That clean taste — that matchless flavor — that subtle tang that comes from just the kiss of the hops. No wonder more people prefer {and buy) Schlitz than any other beer.

The Small Arms Industry of Lancaster County, 171Cm84o
THE SMALL ARMS INDUSTRY OF LANCASTER COUNTY, 171CM84O BY CARLTON O. WITTLINGER* There are several private manufacturies in Lancas- ter ... but it is principally noted for its rifles, muskets, and pistols, the first of which are esteemed the best made in the United States. —Fortescue Cuming, 1807, in Thwaites, Early Western Travels, 1748-1840, IV, 31. HE rifled gun has been an important formative influence in TAmerican history. It aided materially in the conquest of the wilderness as the frontier moved westward and, beginning with the late colonial period, played a deadly part in military affairs.1 Rifles produced in the vicinity of Lancaster in the eighteenth century were not completely indigenous to these shores. Their progenitors were the hunting rifles developed in Europe in the region of Switzerland and the Upper Rhine. These were heavy, large of bore, badly sighted, and poorly adapted for use in the American environment. Pioneer conditions in this country de- manded an accurate long-range weapon which conserved powder and shot, both of which had to be carried for long distances and extended periods. The sound of loading and of the explosion had to be reduced to a minimum so that the gunner would not unduly betray his presence. Weight was an important consid- eration, for the gun had to be carried on long journeys, and speedy repetition of fire was essential if the rifle were to match the Indian bow. *Dr. Carlton O. Wittlinger, Professor of History at Messiah College, is Archivist for the Brethren in Christ Church. His "Early Manufacturing in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, 1710-1840," is in process of publication by the Lancaster County Historical Society. -
