THE RELI
Repeating Shotguns
USED IN THE U. S. ARMY.
The U. S. Army authorities know a gun ; that
ia why, when they decided to equip some troops
with repeating shotguns, they selected the Win
chester in preference to all other makes. The
experts of the U. S. Ordnance Board also know
a gun ; that's why, after submitting a Winches
ter Repeating Shotgun to all sorts of tests, they
pronounced it safe, sure, strong and simple. If
you want a shotgun buy the one whose
strength and reliability led the U S. Army
authorities to select it and the U . S. Ordnance
Board to endorse it that's the Winchester.
