WBmm . "tf "Superior for All Classes of Firing" HIS statement sums up in a few words the experiences of police organi T zations with U. S. cartridges. It was taken from the following letter re ceived by us from the Seattle police (whose team won first place in the 19241925 N. R. A. Indoor Police Team Match): "After a thorough try-out of all makes, in calibers from .22 to .45, it was decided that U. S. ammunition is superior for all classes of firing. We have used U. S. exclusively for all our matches and for practice." The police of many cities, as well as state and private police organiza tions, are finding U. S. cartridges eminently satisfactory. That this is so, is borne out by the numerous testimonials received by us. Several others are printed in the column to the right. At Camp Perry last year, no less than seventy-five per cent of all prize winners, in the pistol and revolver matches where commercial ammunition was allowed, used U. S. cartridges. Some of the other important pistol and revolver matches in which U. S. cartridges have figured prominently are listed below: N. R. A.
