That is certainly the truth Craig. Remington was on a roll in 1907, while our man Ansley was struggling to get the A.H. Fox Gun Co. going in their new digs on North 18th Street at Windrim Avenue. For the first part of the year Remington flooded the sporting press with ads hailing their pro William Heer's high average for 1906 with a pair of their hammerless doubles --

Then in June, J.J. Blanks won the big one with the Remington Autoloading Shotgun --

Then Fred Harlow did it again with the RAS in 1908.

In February 1910 Remington closed a deal with Norvell Shapliegh Hardware Co. of St Louis to sell them their entire inventory of break-action guns and Remington went into the future with their John M. Browning designed autoloader and their John D. Pedersen designed pump which W.E. Phillips used to win the 1912 GAH.
