Extract from Letter received from Officer at the Front:

The British Warm Coat you made me is the best I have ever had. I use nothing else. A coat by day and bed by night. No rain has got through. I would not lose it for anything.

Extract from P.C. from Lt.-Gen., now Gen., ——.

Have received overcoat all right. It fits very well. Many thanks for the trouble you took over it.

Signed—Lt.-Gen. ——.


A British Warm that is warm and a Waterproof make a handy and efficient combination.

FOR EASY, ACCURATE, AND
INEXPENSIVE RIFLE PRACTICE

You must use the
B.S.A. AIR RIFLE

Up to 25 yards the B.S.A. Air Rifle is just as accurate as any Miniature Rifle, and very much cheaper with regard to the cost of ammunition:

B.S.A. PELLETS, 1/6 per 1,000

PRACTICE AT HOME.—Any ordinary room or garden where a 6 yards range can be got is entirely suitable. If a longer range is available so much the better. A HOME OUTFIT, consisting of the Medium Weight Rifle (recommended because all the members of the family can use it), a Steel-faced Target, a pot of White Paint and Brush, and a box of 1,000 B.S.A. Pellets, cost 50/- only.

B.S.A. “SAFETIPASTE”

The “No Trouble” Rifle Barrel Preserver

No scrubbing needed. All labour abolished. Merely coat the bore and “Safetipaste” will kill all fouling and preserve the bore for any length of time.
