Att: Arms 5, 195) Company Washington Avenue Research Department Louis, GOMMISSION Missouri Gentlemen: I have in my possession a working model of a fully automatic choke for use on any repeating shot gun. Set at the "Open" position the first shot is of a normal open pattern, the second is of a modified pattern and the third and all subsequent shots are of a full choke pattern until the device is reset. These changes occur as rapidly as the gun is fired, the simple mechanism being activated by the gases as they approach the open end of the barrel. I, myself am neither a mechanic nor an inventor. However, this was handed to me by’ friend who has no desire to, himself, market this item. Tests have been completed before qualified and interested persons who have, unanimously expressed their surprise at the functional success of the choke. The size of the device is no larger nor is it any bulkier than the well known manually operated chokes now on the market. Installation is simple and may be done by anyone,mechanically minded, in a few minutes. Patents are applied for and a patent search has revealed no comparable device in the patent files. I would appreciate your reaction to this information. I, myself,did not believe a control of this type possible. After personally witnessing its operation, I must admit I have changed my mind. I am sure your reaction would be the same. May I hear from you? urs Harry very A. Ludlow Industrial City Hall Pittsburg, Kansas truly, Representative November 5, 1954 Mr. Paul L.

I have not yet heard from Everett Landon. John Val's address in Liege is 29 Rue des Anges and the factory address is Herstal-Near-Liege, Belgium. It is not certain that your friend will be able to find the type of gun he wants at the plant because, as you know, we have no sales department there and no stock to speak of. However, if he will only should find something he wants, I am sure John arrange for him to take it against cash (which way we could handle it there) at a price minus Kindest personal regards, Cordially VAB/ba/dh Val A. yours, Browning Val is the duty.

In the first place, I do not have that amount available, and in the second place, I do not make a practice of loaning money to anybody. The loan I made to you was simply a neighborly gesture, and the thirty day period was at your own suggestion. In the same neighborly spirit I can extend the note (and you may consider this letter such an extension) until December 15, 1954. After that I will very greatly need this money myself and cannot make further extension. { am informed by my nephew, Hugh Ford, who is in the money-lending business that he can arrange such a loan for you.

Browning Beverly Utah Mr. executive Drive Browning: Through Mr. secretary, D. O. Woodruff, our Alumni Association I have learned of your generous gift of $2,200 to the University of Utah — Alumni Development Fund. This will be sufficient to furnish one unit of the new men's dormitory. When this is accomplished, we will install on the wall of that unit a plaque acknowledging your contribution. I am sure every student who occupies that facility will be grateful to you for the part you played in making desirable living quarters available to hin. For myself and for the Board of Regents, I want to express our sincere appreciation for the support you constantly give to our efforts to build here a great State University. The visit I had with you at the Alta Club about a week ago was very stimulating. The attitude you expressed toward the University of Utah is shared, I am sure, by others, but not all of them implement their interest and enthusiasm with financial assistance, as you have done. I hope I understand that you are soon to leave for Europe. you have a very enjoyable and profitable sojourn there. With ARO: ce: kindest cw Controller Development Fund regards.

Ashton Gillham Advertising Agency, Continental Bank Building Salt Lake City, Utah Dear Mr. 20, 1954 Inc. Ashton: Further to the conversation we had during your recent visit to Ogden, Big has suggested that I inform you of the following: In 1933 I went to San Sebastian, Spain for the World's Championship Live Bird Shoot. There were the best shotgun artists from all over the world (incidentally, Ernest Hemingway was there at the shoot), and I was requested to be a member of the U. S. team of three shooters in the Match of Nations, and this team consisting of Walter Warren, Ben Gallagher, and myself won the match over teams representing England, France, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Germany and Portugal. I am enclosing a couple of photographs taken right after the match, one showing cup which we held for one year. This possibly could be worked in somewhere to show long time knowledge of use of shotguns and in this connection perhaps the fact that my wife Ann won the grand prize and gold medal at Spa, Belgium in 193% against the best female shotgun shooters in Europe.

If you own more than one automobile and need additional forms, you may secure them at any Tax Commission office. If the real estate is owned jointly by one or more persons, the automobile which is owned by any or all of such owners may be assessed with the real estate. While the plan does not contemplate the mailing of truck plates, you may still save time in the registration of your trucks by bringing the enclosed forms to the office of the Tax Commission in the county in which you live, together with the registration cards for the year 1953. The property tax on these vehicles will be cleared in the same manner that the taxes are cleared on passenger vehicles and you may have an immediate delivery of your plates. If you wish to have your passenger car plates delivered by mail, we suggest that you send your application at once but, in any case, not later than January 31. If you call for your passenger car or truck plates at the office of the Tax Commission, we suggest that you come during the week commencing January 25, 1954.
