| First his family, next his dog, then
comes his Winchester in the love
of the best type of American. Al
most every family seems to have pos
sessed Winchester at one time or
lanother, and the love and respect for
/ the good old gun is just about univer-
/ sal. And now that recently there
have been many new additions to the
Winchester family there is wide
popular interest in the new cousins
