inchester guns are the standard
the world over and have been for
more than i half century. During
this time they stood for power, ac-
.curacy and durability. Rifles were
first produced BY the Winchester or
ganization and later shot guns were
turned out. From 4 one-roon affair
the Winchester plant in New Haven
now occupies 50 acres.
Ne NJ when the late President Roose-
welt made his. tours into the African
jungle his guns were Winchestcrs.
Peary on His trips into the North was
fully equipped with Winchesters.
Scott and Shackleton on their expe.
sditions in the Antarctic took along
Winchesters. Donald Macmillan,
who IS now on four years expedi-
tion to Baffin Land, has in the neigh
borhood Of 100 Winchesters with
him. Explorers cannot take chances
on inferior firearms. They must take
guns they know will stand up. That
is the reason they take Winchesters.
"This thought prevails with those
who shoot in the field and at the
traps. No man wishes to 70 out and
shoot and find that his game Of tar !
gets get away. Therefore he wants
the. best. This year l46 National,
State and Zone championship trap
shooting tournaments were won by
men and women usinf Winchester
gus and ammunition. All but one of J
the National Championship titles
were with Winchesters. All Of these
things go to prove which is the most
accurate Of firearms made today.
I'm making Winchester guns the
most accurate instruments are used
and the exhaustive tests insure every
barrel from chamber to muzzle to be
rive to less than one thousanth OF an
inch. Winchester guns are better
than other guns because Of hun
dred and one things One is thatf
nickel steel is used in the barrels, re-
.eiver. and all working parts except
springs. This steel has about double
