Mr. Trapshooterl Do read "The Figures" of the other fellow and enjoy with us the satisfying sensation of having a competitor prove the superiority of
Shotguns and Loaded Shells
HE record and statistical department of a certain gun and ammunition company has been working overtime lately. Its resultant achievements suggest and compare favorably with the stories of Alladin's Lamp, and the Wonderful Bag in "The Swiss Family Robinson." The former simply had to be rubbed and the latter only dug into in order to produce any thing, no matter how weird or impossible the demand might be.
The latest tid-bit that this indefatigable department has favored the trap shooting world with is that over 5000 more trap shooters used their shells in 1912 than used any other make, and that over 1900 more trap shooters used their guns in 1912 than used any other make. If Winchester Loaded Shells were used by 5000 fewer trap shooters, than used the other fellow's, it is as plain as the nose on one's face that the W brand had 5000 less chances of win ning the highest average;for the season's shooting, yet Winchester Loaded Shells did win that coveted honor. That's quality for you. w. R. CROSBY Using Winchester Loaded Shells, h« The same reasoning applies to guns, for, notwithstanding those 1900 more outshot all other trapshooters for the season of 1912. guns of the other fellow's, a Winchester Repeating Shotgun outshot all other repeaters in the race for the high average for the season's shooting.
If you "get us," and we believe that you do, you can't help but agree that winning against the tremendous odds which the other fellow says Winches ter Shotguns and Loaded Shells had to contend with, proves the superiority of the W brand more conclusively than any other conceivable test could. P. S.—We hate to spoil this convincing proof of the superiority of Winchester Shotguns and Loaded Shells, but frankness compels us to say that the other fellow's figures are conspicuously inexact. They were shaken from some imag ination tree.
