GUNSanGUNs.

THE PARKER
BREECH LOADING, DOUBLE BARRELED
SHOT GUN.
This popular gun ~undeniably supports its claim
as being the
BEST IN THE D!
Perfectly Simple in Construction
Very Strong and Durable!
Barrels self-Loeking!
Uses Central Fire Metallic or Paper Cartridges
AT H OPTION OF PURCHASERS!
1t has been four years before the public, and
its success is really remarkable. It's superiority
over all others, and the claims of the manufac-
turers, are well ~substantiated by the following
FA
There are more Parker Guns in the hands of
American portmen than any Foreign breech-
loader.
There are three times as many Parker Guns in
the hands Of American Sportmcn as there are of
any other American made breech-loader.
AT the Utieaconvention of the New York State
SpOrtlnen's Association, the number of sports
men 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 COM
bined.
nile the Idfkcf gun Is so 0ftel reported as
distinguishing itself at large shoots throughout
the country, it is noticeable 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 q thoroughly good gun.
The higher grade Parker guns are gotten upin
q style equaled by few, and excelled by none.
The most fastidiOus will find them all that can
be desired.
