STAMFORD, CONN. ‘It Hits Like the Hammer, \of Thor, the WIN .401 CALIBER Model 1910 Self-Loading Rifle | | | | From a Traveling Friend Dear Lire: Are you running low on subjects for special numbers? Hf so, why not a Traveling Men’s Number? You know us, do you not? and we are quite well acquainted with you, and buy you week after week from our friends the News “Bunch.” Incidentally, — we laugh over you singly and ensemble when there is the slightest provocation. We, who are the natural purveyors f humor—the clearing-house of things amusing and cheering—the vast army of successful boosters for things good in life, and equally successful knockers of the things not so good, clamor for admission to your array of special material, Would advise, also, we are “agin” vivisection, especially the kind frequently practiced upon some of our able colleagues by our none too careful railroads. Come on, Lire, give us a Travelers’ Number, Ask Simeon Ford what he This repeater, which is the latest Winchester product, has speed and power plus. _ It’s speedy because, being reloaded by the recoil of the fired cartridge, it can be shot as fast as the trigger can be pulled. It’s powerful because it handles a cartridge of the most modern type — one that strikes a blow of 2038 foot pounds. The knock-down, shocking power of this cartridge, with its heavy bullet of large diameter, driven with high velocity, is tremendous; thinks of us. Of course the hotel folks will say we're the rankest of kickers—mercly because we do not and the combination of such power with the rapidity of fire which this rifle is capable of, makes it unusually desirable for hunting the biggest of big game. There is no rifle made which will deliver five as powerful blows in as few seconds as the Winchester Model 1910, crave damp sheets or an occasional fly in our coffee. The buyers will say that we are a public pest; but just the same many would die of ennui were it not for Lire and us, We travelers like you, Lire, when Ask your dealer to show you one, or send for circular fully describing this rifle, WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO., - NEW HAVEN, CONN. you are funny.
