Wow!! Mr. Crossman was already trying to kill off the 16-gauge!! Obviously, he didn't like Parker Bros. 0-frame 28-gauges either!! He said only two American companies were making 28-gauges. I assume he was thinking Parker Bros. and Ithaca Gun Co., but Crescent Fire Arms Co. had their No. 28 and Harrington & Richardson also offered a 28-gauge double in 1914.
