THE ARGOSY—ADVERTISING SECTION. Without hesitation or fear, take an IVER JOHNSON SAFETY-AUTOMATIC REVOLVER and ‘‘HHammer the Hammer’’ These Three Circles Tell the Story The Iver Johnson simply cannot go off unless the trigger is pulled all the way back. Before this has been done there is absolutely zo connection between the revolver hammer and the firing-pin—see the middle circle. The left-hand circle shows how, by pulling the trigger, the safety lever is raised into place under the revolver hammer. When this hammer falls (see the right-hand circle) its blow is carried through the lever to the firing-pin, and the cartridge is exploded with unfailing certainty. So that, unless you pull the trigger, you can drop the revolver, kick it, hammer it—do what you please—it cannot be discharged by accident. That’s why the sales of the Iver Johnson now exceed the sales of all other American makes combined. it is Just as Sure as It is Safe For straight shooting and hard shooting it is unexcelled by any other revolver no matter what its name or price. It is compact, graceful, easy to carry, easy to handle—in every way a gentle- man’s weapon for pocket, desk or home. 3 Our Free Booklet, ‘‘Shots,’’ Tells You More in Detail why the Iver Johnson has won its place in public favor. It also contains much revolver lore that every man should know. Our handsome catalogue goes with it.
