American Ingenuity.

American ingenuity has always been a wonder to foreigners. We know of no better illustration of It than is displayed In the manufacture of guns. For instance, the repeating shot gun made by the Winchester Repeating Arms Co., > Jew Haven, Ct., which retails for about S2O, will outshoot foreign hand-made guns costing twenty times as much. This has been demonstrated time and time again. The leading shots of the country appreciate this and have put aside their expensive guns for the less costly but better shooting Winchester. The large illustrated Winchester catalogue is sent free upon request People never think of whistling In Iceland. It’s a violation of the divine law.
