A RECORD
which has no equal.
Col. Thos. Martin, of Bluffton, S. C., shooting a Parker Gun at Elkwood
Park, in eight days’ shooting from April 8th (including the Grand American Handicap), killed
501 live birds out of 567 shot at, and also made a run of 141 straight.
On April 28th he won the Maryland Handi-
cap, killing 25 straight. |
That the “Old Reliable’’ is extremely pop
ular is strongly attested by the fact that of the
263 contestants in the Grand American Handi-
cap of 1899, 77 were using “ Parker’s.” 4
Facts such as these prove the “Parker” to
be the most popular shotgun in America.
There are more Parker Guns in the hands of Amateurs than any other make of gun in the world.
