TO AMMUNITION DEALERS.

A TRADE CIRCULAR. There is no special merit in importation. Have you not noticed that m this country there is a growing feeling in favour of goods of New Zealand manufacture? The stupid prejudice in favour of imported ;goods is surely dying out. ' "Consider the disadvantages of lmportj ing ammunition. You waste a lot or valuable time. You have to order far ahead on an estimate of average Bales, taking all risks. In the majority or cases, you havo to pay cash on delivery. Ap.irt from the ris.:s, you have to put in heavy stocks. This means dead money. As the times go, can you afford to have dead money? Think it] ■out/ ■'■'.■ ''■''■■■ . ."" I Now turn to th<» other proposal. Bee how well it will pay you to buy from 'the Colonial Ammunition Company and seit cartridges made in New Zealand. You cat; got your stock as you need it, on terms of the most reasonable character, and—yon have no dead money! You benefit'by-tho liberal and enterprising advertising of "C.A.C." Cart- • ridges, which is being steadily,; maintained all over the country. You profit •by what is, after all, the best advertisement a cartridge can have: tho willing and enthusiastic testimony of crack shots and sportsmen generally. Do you know that at the great Tventham Riflo Meetings only "C;A;C." Ammunition is used. Not only this, . but that the men competing at this meeting.iv 1989 put up records for tho world? Do yon know that, although nearly 130,000 rounds wero then fired, there was not a single complaint of a defective cartridge—not n badono_in the lot? Do you know of any English or American ammunition manufacturer lhat ever p:st up such a record as that in Now Zealand—or anywhere else? Do you know that Mr Duncan Frnser, Mr B. Burgess, nnd many other crack shots who use "C.A.C." Cartridges for pigeon-shooting and general T.-ork swear by them, and will use no ■ other? If you think of these things fairly, you v will see that you havo nothing to gain by importing your ammunition. You have, on' tfro other hand, everything to gain by supporting a thoroughly well-establishod and progressive Now Zealnnd industry. Tho cartridges made by the Colonial Ammunition Company arc always good and freeh. If you have any suggestion to make, or , if there is any innovation you would like to sco adopted, the Company is virtually at your own doors, and will gladly hear you. It is always respon--1 siye, nnd it is never content to stand etill. The Company's keenest critics on ■ quality are its own responsible officers. Thoy look tor progress all tho time. Trading with this Company, .you suffer none of tho vexatious delays thritr are" inevitable in connection vitlT ordinary indents. You get tho goods just as you need them, every cartiidgo thoroughly tested nttho works and, guaranteed. - * If this talk interests you, write to ' the' Colonial Ammunition Company, \ Ltd., Auckland, now. They yriii bo glad to hear from you, and will spare , no-pains to.furnish just tho informa- • tion you require. It will pay you to '' deal "with your own folk, and what pays you pays them. Your satisfaction is their seourity. The Colonial Ammunition Company make such wonderful progress chiefly because they make it a rulo never to lose a customer. Tho domniKl for "C.A.C." Cartridges is ever increasing. Last season's output exceeded all anticipations. Nest season's will bo bigger still. Why should you— an ammunition dealer—not hnvo your eharo.of tho extensive, sales that are to be niado? If you do not stock "C.A.C." i Ammunition tiho public will go to eomo • other man that does. Sportsmen who have onco used these fresh, sound, and [• quick cartridges will certainly not tako kindly to any other make. 19 ! NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH AT
