More Record Breaking Shooting \ To Demonstrate The Superiority Of WINCHESTER FACTORY When a man kills 125 straight, shooting pigeons, as Mr. J. A. R. Elliott did in the contest for the Sportsmen's Review Cup at the Missouri State Shoot, held in St. Louis, May 14-19 ; and scores 214 out of 215 pigeons shot at during the tournament, his holding, his shells and his gun must be perfect. Such phenomenal shooting would be impossible with the best holding, if there was any fault in the shells or in the gun. There wasn't any fault in Mr. Ellidtt's shells or gun, because they were Winchester Factory Loaded " Leader" Shells and a Winchester Repeating Shotgun. Winchester Factory Loaded Shells are as near perfect as brains and ingenuity can make them. That's why shooters like Elliott, Gilbert, Crosby, Fanning and Fox, who use " Leader " shells, have established so many new World's records at all kinds of shooting. Remember, the winning combination is Winchester Factory Loaded Shells and a WINCHESTER REPEATING SHOTGUN. Alexander (28). 10222 21211 22111 01112 22111—23 AT INTERSTATE PARK. and 10 pair.
