its success is really remarkable. It's superiority
over all others, and the claims of the manufac-
tuners, are well s~uhStantiated by the following
FACTS:
There are more Parker Guns in the hands of
American p0rtmcn than any Foreign brcech-
loader.
There are three times as many Parker Gunsin
the hands of American spOrtmen as there are of
any other American made breech-lOader.
At the Utica convention of the New York State

While the Parker gun is 40 often reported M
distinguishing itself at large shoots throughout
the country, it is n0ticable that few such reports
are made of any other gun.
The lowest price Parker guns are within reach
of those of moderate means, while they are in
every way a thoroughly good gun.
The higher grade Parker guns are gotten upin
