The sum and substance of the visit was that should Remington have any such proposition to make that we would suggest that they do it in writing and we would give it our best considerations Mire Hood stated that he would immediately comaunicate with Mr. Smiley but not until after he nad used every effort to induce us to go back there. We did not talk automatic shotguns and neither did hee We have been talking gun business with Val almost continually and have things pretty well understood and agreed upon, and Val is anxious to start back as soon as possible but will wait a few days longer in order to be able to consider anything that may come thru from Remington. We are ail anxious to go, and will be relieved when they are off our minds. In figuring on an advertising policy for the coming year it occurred to us that we could possibly make some interesting ads by showing in a series of issues the development of the Browning Automatic gun.

On the back of this photograph is stamped ‘Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Negative Noe 19162" and we were wondering if it is possible to obtain more prints from the Aberdeen Proving Grounds.
