Gently introduced, already oc-
cupies a prominent place in
the sun in the sporting world.
Its strength of construction,
due to the use of Nickel
Steel for the metal parts,
its ease of operation, it's SIM
pie take-down system, and
its strong shooting qualities
have led critical experts to
designate it. "The Most Per-

take an expert to appreciate
this gun, for the beauty of
its lines, its fine balance, the
refinement of every detail,
the right "feel," and the easy
way it "comes up" are APP
parent to those who shoot
only occasionally. Before the
advent of this Winchester it
meant money to get a light

the modest price of S24.00
fulfills every requirement in
that line.

Well, Ralph Wdtmore is of
the opinion that it does. A
short time ago Mr.. Wetmore in
serted a few lines in the Gazette
stating that he had lost a coat.
Within twenty-four hours three
coats, all neatly tallying with
the description, were put at
Mr.. Wetmore's disposal; it on

the best one. Gazette adver-
tiseing is bound to get results
