EUVEaE PARKER
BREECH LOADING, DOUBLE BARRELED
SHOT GUN.
This popular gun undeniably supports its claim
as being the
B + ST IN TIL WO d!
Perfectly Simple in Construction.
Very Strong and Durable!
Barrels self-Locking!
Uses Central Fire Metallic or Paper Cartridges
AT THE OPTION Oh PURCHASERS!
1t has been four years before the public. and
Its success Is really remarkable. Its superiority
over all others, and the claims of the manufac-
turers, are well snbstantiated by the following
FACTS:
There are more Parker Guns In the hands of
American Sportmen than any Foreign breech-
loader.
There are three times as many Parker unsin
the hands OF American sportmen as there are OF
any other American made breech-l0ader.
At the Utica convention of the New York State
Association, the number of sports
nlen who used the Parker gun was equal to that
of all Others who used central fire breech load
erS, OF both American and Foreign make CON-
bined.
While the Parker gun is so often reported as
distinguishing itself at Large shoots throughout
the country, 1t is noticable that few such reports
are made Of any other gun.
The lowest price Parker gums 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 up in
style equaled by few, and excelled by none.
The most fastidious will find them all that can
be desired.
Our descriptive amt price catalogue will be
mailed to any address upon application.
