We alto wish to interest those who a in not ho cranky, that all may understand tho advantage derived from using th liltl"' invention shown in the alsivu cut. Tlu Invention U known an "(Jillcttc's Supplemental Chain her", with which yon can slusit small, cheap '. K. pistol rurtridgc out of any rifle in the following, list, the name and size of smull cartridge to lx used appearing at the right of calibre for each gun. They are made for :H-30 and 303 Savage, lit ted for 32 S. .1. , short or long. 303 Mritish, " " 32 :iO-:iO Marlin, " " 32 30-30 and 30-40 Winchester, " 32 " " " They apply to any rille using either of alsve size standard cartridge, ami are made of solid hrass or steel. One procrly cared for will last 11 life time. They retail at 11.00 each of bra, and l.i'i of steel. Kvcry N-rson who uses one of tho tihove size rilles, of uny make, w hether single shot or magazine gun, should order a ss-elul Supplemental hamlM-r for it, a the coinhination saves (HI to 75 cr cent on cost of ammunition, w hich justifies the users of high power rilles in shisiting small game and at target practice. There have been three applications for letters patent since my own was llled, which proven conclusively that others have tented it and have met with satisfactory results, as the following letter copied from lierrnitimt for April, 1M!M, after my application hail Im'cd llled, will show. It also explains the manner of using and quality of shooting that may Im done: THE ALL AROUND GUN. "Many efforts have been miule to supply shooter w ith an arm suitable for all ordinary uses, and w hich would use cheap am munition. Mr. A. M. Wright, of Kllcnsbnrg, Wash., has well nigh solved the prohlem of an all around rille. He conceived the idea of making u chamher hushing the same si.e and sluiH as the 30-30 shell. The calibre through the bushing Is the same as that of the gun, except that it is ohamlicrcd to take the regular .'(2 cal ibre c, f. pistol cartridge. Tho gun after Ixing discharged, ex tracts the bushing as it would an empty shell; the shooter puts a new cartridge into it and reinserts it in the barrel us he would in a single louder. The 32 cartridge is much cheaper than the 30-30, and Justus accurate, for target and small game shooting. Mr. Wright, using this bushing in a 30-caliler 04 model Winchester, put six consecutive shots in a ostugo stamp at 40 yards, and five of the six could have been covered with a lt)-cent piece. Many have shot the gun ut our matches, and all pronounce the Invention a success. This form of bushing can be applied to other rifles using bottle necked shells. (Signed) "W. A. KICK." We have been trying for three years to gel some cartridge or gun manufacturing company to make these chambers, so that HNirtsiiicu might enjoy the liencllt of cheap shooting in light short range work. None of them, however, have as yet seen fit to do so, and forwy jip'ircnt reason other than that a device of this kind woul'' . prlve them of considerable prollt on sales of lth small si' I illes and regular full si.e cartridges, as they readily see such an I rangemeiit gives 11 srson practically two guns in one at a vet V1 nslerat additional cost. Ttie fact that u chamber may U had for tl.no, and liMl pistol cartridges at,alsiut tl.i'i against alsjut 4.(n for loo full size cart ridges, thus saving 1.7"iand price of chamber In the flint 100 shots, in addition to extending the life of a gun barrel by the aloence of metal patched bullets, seems to us a sutllcieiit inducement for ull Ui use them. .Some have said: "IjcimI bullets fired through short twist rilles will lead the barrel." This would 1st true if the bullet tit loosely. The 32 S. & W. pistol cartridge fits ho snugly in 30 and 303 calilcr lilies that when loaded with low pressure xwdcrn they ure all right if given ordinary intent Ion. If you are as much of a gun crank as we are, you w ill appre ciate the advantage of being able at any time to shoot grizzly bear and rabbit w ith one and the same gun, and at a cost for am munition in keeping with their relative ferocity In hunting ral blts with your gun loaded w ith this chamls-r and a Hinall cartridge you would lie at no disadvantage whatever in the event of sighting A grizzly, for by the simple uet of reloading any modern lever uc tlon gun the chamlcr Is extracted and a full size reserve cartridge from the magazine takes its place so quickly that tho time neces sary for making the change Is unnoticed, except in the event one is troubled with an ailment familiarly known us "the buck ague," in w hich case tho size of cartridge fired would lie immaterial. To convince the public that we are in earnest, we hereby agree to refund the amount paid us or furnish a new chamber for every one found defective and returned. Our chambers are each stamied with da to of patent, (Aug. 22, '(Ml). All those without it are infringements which w ill in due time be prosecuted. In ordering ehamlers Htate clearly your choice lietwcon short or long cartridge. Discount to tho trade. ADDRESS THE S. C. CO. rl. B. OII.LETTB, Preaklant and Manager, t Roseburg, Ore.
