Secondary Title
"When you want POWER...you want PETERS 'High Velocity'"
Description
This is an advertisement from a 1961 sporting periodical for Peters High Velocity shotgun shells. Peters was a brand then owned by Remington Arms, and DuPont is also named. This is a result of DuPont acquiring a controlling interest in Remington during the Great Depression. The photo of a satisified hunter, Scott McGill of Austin, Texas dominates the page. That is supplemented by a closeup of a Peters shotgun shell and a small insert of a gliding gobbler and hunter that first appeared in 1955.
A quotation from the ad reads, "In my opinion, there's no greater test of the speed and power of a shotgun shell than wild turkey shooting. These big gobblers are tough and plenty savvy. It takes a lot of punch and power to knock them down for keeps."
