Winchester (inn and Ammunition, the First Choice of Experienced Hunter, Name over the prominent hunters nnd explorers nnd Inqulro what guns and ammunition they use, and you will find that most of them use the famous Winchester guns nnd nmmunltlon. Why Is this? Are such experienced men actuated by sentiment In buying their shooting equipment? No! they want guns and ammunition thnt they know can be depended upon, nnd In making such a choice lies the reason for much of their success. They select Winchester guns and nmmunltlon because they know they arc absolutely reliable. Then, too, Win chester guns nnd ammunition are made In calibers and sizes for all kinds of shooting, which gives a full rango of selection.

Another point about Winchester guns and nmmunltlon is, they are moderate In price, although unsurpassed In material, workmanship and finish. Tho oft-used expression "Shoots like a Winchester' Indicates the general opinion held of Winchester firearms. It should be a guiding stone In selecting an equipment for fall hunting. (Adv.)
