Hauser Bros., proprietors of the
Salem Gun Store, Salem, Oregon,
have Just finished building a powder
niagailne, and are now preparing to
furnish Trojan Stumping Powder.
Trojan Stumping. Powder Is a non
nitroglycerine explosive of compara
tively recent invention. It does not
contain any nitro-glycerlne, there
fore, will not freeze, eliminating the
thawing, which means a saving of
time and greater safety.
One of the peculiar features of
stumping powders In use heretofore,
has been that, owing to the nitro
glycerine used in the manufacture, It
gives off a very offensive and power
ful gas, causing the party using the
powder to have a violent headache.
Trojan powder does not give off any
odor, so parties using it will not be
troubled with the headache.
With the combination of no thaw
ing and no headache, Hauser Bros,
believe they have the powder that
tanners and people who are clearing
ground of stumps have been looking
for. Hauser Bros, will explain more
fully to anyone who will write or
call.
