loved 10 hunt, hunting was not his sole
occupation. He was a decidedly handy
man. Natural inclinations led him TO be

He was particularly fond of his guns

Mr.. Browning made guns after his own

TO persons emigrating westward who

On the death of Jonathan Browning,

John NJ. Browning was "a years old, ne
perfected his first invention, single

1879 and in the little machine shop
they began its manufacture. It was

First Big Success.
The president Of the Wincheste,
company, then vice president OF
the company, was in San Francisco on
trip in the early sos. While there
he competed in target shoot. in which
sportsman from Utah, using a
Browning rifle, carried off all of the
honors.
The Winchester man was greatly i'm
pressed with the rifle and asked It's
owner where he had secured it. Upon
learning of the manufacture of thi:
gun in an Ogden workshop, the our
factory officer Immediately went to Og
den and called on the inventor. He ne
gotlated for the purchase of the pa
tent, buying it outright for $4,000.
That was the beginning. The Win

/" HE United States government has
just given official recognition to
the world greatest inventor or
firearms And to the people Of
Utah the fact that this inventor IS
resident of Ogden comes as great sur
prise. The inventor is John NJ. Brown
ing.
By adopting the Browning automatic
pistol as the official side arms of the
United States army the government has
officially conceded that Mr.. Browning
has invented the best pistol ever made.
The pistol was adopted only after rig
orous test, the greatest to which wea-
pom has ever been put, and the officers
were so surprised and pleased with the
pistol that il was promptly adopted.
This official recognition of the prod
uct Of Mr.. Browning's genius turns at
tention TO the inventor. When 1t is
known that for more than thirty years
Mr.. Browning has been an inventor of
guns and that practically ali OF the
sporting firearms of the world are of
Browning patent, it appears surprising
that the inventor is not more IN the
public eye.
The maker Of the guns Of the world
is a quiet, dignifed gentleman. His
guns speak for him. He enjoys the noise
of the firearms. but public clamor is
distasteful to him. He detests publicity
so much that he will not think kindly
Of what appears in public prints con
cerning him.
That he should receive public recogni-
tion of his genius gives him no con-
Germ. He is Indifferent TO the bonors
which have been accorded him. Al.
though for thirty years and more he
has been inventing guns he has never
stipulated that the manufacturers of
these guns use his dame in connection
with them, In America his guns are not
known as Browning guns. but take the
name of the firms which manufacture
them. Hence il is that most people
will express surprise when they learn
that practically all of the Winchester
rifles and shotguns. the bennington au-
toloading rifles and shotguns, the Ste
rens Repeating shotgun and the Colt s
pistols and machine guns are the
invention of Mr.. Browning, de.
signed by him especially for the firms
which manufacture these arms.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1911-07-16
Name Used in England.

In Europe the arms of practically the
same design are all known as Browning
rifles, shotguns and pistols, the firm
which manufactures them using the in
ventor' S name on his products. Thus il
is, TO paraphrase a bit, the inventor is
not without honor save in his own
country.
Mr.. Browning is peaee.loving citi.
zen, quiet and dignifed With only two
exceptions his guns have not been built
as engines of destruction. but as tools
for the sportsman. His army pistol and
his machine gun are the only military
weapons he has invented. All of his
other inventions have been OF sporting
firearms
Unlike other great inventors, Mr.
browning has not devoted his life
time TO one invention. He has kept
constantly at work. but his energies
have been directed toward constan

toward the development of all sorts

worker and has accomplished in month.

Came Across Plains.

Jonathan came across the plains to
Utah among the early Mormon emi-
grants. He moved at once 10 Ogden
and lived there until his demise. In
Ogden he established a small machine
shop on the site Of the present beautiful
home Of John NJ. Browning. There he
did the mechanical work of his fellow
pioneers. Frequent service rendered
them was in repairing their guns. He
continued to make IRE arms by hand
and sold many of his home made

Browning made these guns TO shoot
from five to twenty five times. Veteran
pioneers who in their youth used these
guns say they were very good guns.
The other gun is what Jonathan
Browning termed his "revolving rife. -
This gun contains a revolver cylinder
and shoots SIX times. The cylinder
revolves in much the same manner as
II did in the old-fashioned revolver.
The cylinder is muzzle loading and has
places for the caps which discharge
