The Guns described below are all especially adapted to “Fourth of July”
sports, from the fact that with them torpedos can be thrown with great
accuracy, and, exploding as they strike, make a very loud report. What
is known as the small “American” torpedo is the best.
These Guns are especially suitable for drilling purposes. Any boy will
find it a very easy matter to secure enough subscriptions to earn the
guns that may be needed for his company.
=“DOCTOR CARVER” GUN.=
Given for new subscriptions amounting to $1.00.
[Illustration: DOCTOR CARVER]
It has an adjustable tension that can be regulated to suit the strength
of any boy. This is a new gun, made on a new principle, and is the best
arrangement for target shooting ever seen. It shoots with great force
and accuracy. Three arrows go with each gun. It will also fire marbles,
bullets, sticks or paper wads. The gun is nicely finished in all parts
and is painted a bright red that will not fade, which makes it very
handsome. It is three feet long, strong and durable, easy to adjust
and load, and does not get out of order. Price 50 cents. Postage and
packing 15 cents extra.
=THE “LITTLE GEM.”=
Given for new subscriptions amounting to 50 cents.
[Illustration: LITTLE GEM PAT. SEPT. 15, 1885.]
This is a new gun, well finished and very effective. It possesses part
of the patented features of the celebrated “Doctor Carver” gun, but is
not as powerful. It is lighter and somewhat smaller than the “Doctor
Carver” gun. Price 25 cents. Postage and packing 10 cents extra.
“=WINCHESTER RIFLE.=”
Given for new subscriptions amounting to $1.00.
[Illustration: WINCHESTER RIFLE PAT. SEPT. 15, 1885.]
A new double-barrel gun. It has the patent “oscillating yoke” or
yielding stop, same as the celebrated “Doctor Carver” gun and has
a well-finished stock of proper shape. Price 50 cents. Postage and
packing 10 cents extra.
=THE WILCOX TARGET GUN, WITH BAYONET.=
Given for new subscriptions amounting to $2.00.
[Illustration: WILCOX]
It shoots with precision, is simple in construction, and finely
finished. The bayonet is of wood, bronzed to imitate steel. Each gun
is provided in the breech with a small pocket, in which will be found
5 metal-head arrows, and 2 paper targets. For drilling purposes, it
can be readily changed to the form of an ordinary rifle. Price $1.00.
Postage and packing 20 cents extra.
The Arrow Guns are carefully packed to go by mail, and protected when
necessary by wooden braces. But we cannot guarantee that the Post
Office Department will deliver them in perfect condition. On receipt of
10 cents extra we will ensure the safe delivery of each gun.
