Grand Prize Shooting by Crosby MAKES A NEW WORLD©S RECORD AT ST. LOUIS WITH

At the World©s Fair Shoot, held November 1, 2, 3, W. R. Crosby, with Winchester Factory Loaded " Leader " Shells, established a New World©s Record in the World©s Fair Handicap, which was the main event on the program. Shooting from the 34-yard mark, he killed 49 live birds out of 50, a feat never before accom plished and one which, besides testifying to Mr. Crosby©s great skill, decisively demonstrates the superior pattern, penetration and killing power of Winchester Factory Loaded Shells. In addition to this remarkable shooting, Mr. Crosby won high professional average for the three days with a score of 291 out-of 300. The following honors were also won by shooters who used Winchester Factory Loaded Shells: and Professional Average for the Tournament C. G. Spencer. ist Amateur Average Harlow Spencer. and Amateur Average J. W. Garrett and C. M. Powers tied. I 3rd Amateur Average J. O©Neil. Winchester Factory Loaded Shells are not winning these high averages once in a while; they are winning them all the time, and they are winning them because they give better pattern and penetration and are moie reliable and more satisfactory than any other make of shells on the market. IF YOU TRY THEM ONCE, YOU WILL ALWAYS SHOOT THEM.
