RIFLES, SHOTGUNS AND AMMUNITION Winchester rifles, shotguns and ammunition are not the choice of any special class, but of practically all intelligent sportsmen who go to the woods, the plains or the mountains in quest of game. Winchester rifles are made in all desirable calibers from .22 to .50 and Winchester shotguns in 10, 12 and 16 gauge. The fact that we have sold over two million Winchester guns is pretty good evidence of their popularity. If you buy some other make you may get satisfaction; if you buy Winchester guns and ammunition you are sure of satisfaction. If you want to feel that confidence which gives results, use Winchester guns for all your shooting and Winchester cartridges in all your guns—they are made for each other.
