BIG BANG SAFE CELEBRATORS

NO MATCHES

NO GUNPOWDER

Safe Noise—and plenty of it!

- THE flash and BANG of a real gun, without danger of gun· powder burns or gunshot wounds—and all the noise you want, too. ” Bill ” C., Hingham, Massachusetts, writes: ” I enjoy my pistol very much. A 22 doesn’t compare in noise to a BIG-BANG. And mother and dad approve, because it doesn’t have anything to do with gunpowder.” Thousands of happy boys will celebrate safely with BIG-BANG this year. We hope you will be among them.

Fires all day with a Few Cents’ Worth of Ammunition

Perth Amboy, N. J.

Dear Sir,

Last year I bought one of your BIG-BANG Carmon and I must say that I am more than pleased with it. I fired it from eight o’clock in the morning until twelve-thirty at night.

Some of the boys that live near me had some three-inch fire-crackers, and by the time their supply ran out I was firing in full swing. It cost me about twenty cents to fire all day, and if the other boys had fired all day it would have cost them about twenty dollars.

I remain a pleased customer.

(Signed) Arthur V, B.
