Drew, if you search the la84foundation site, you will find that Mr. Fulford not only made triggers, but he was quite a competitor.

Drew, are you using the "search" feature when you are looking for a particular name? I have used the search for several different research projects. Good luck.

That would be WAY too easy Bill and I'm searching for 'DSW' for our mutual friend.
Fulford was representing Francotte in 1897

A. W. Du Bray, traveling representative of Parker Gun has been making his usual trip through the South. Writing from Lake Charles. La., he says: "I have just had two days of shooting here in company with my good friend. Mr. J. C. Elstner. of this place. On the first day we bagged 47 quail and snipe and on the second day 107, of which 18 were quail, the rest snipe. So many people are constantly in quest of in formation regarding good shooting territory that I think you would be doing your readers a favor by publishing this. Quail are very abundant here, and one can bag from 25 to 50 a day over a good dog. Snipe are nearly always found, but of course not with is much certainty. Another thing. This is one of the few places where -a man can get a good, comfortable room and wholesome, well-cooked food, and anyone coming here should by all means put up at the Hotel Howard, where he wall find the genial, good-natured proprietor in Mr. Pierre Theaux, a model host in every particular. I can cheerfully recommend this hotel, knowing I will receive the thanks of any one coming here. On the last day’s shooting I used very heavy full-choke Parker, 16 gauge, loaded with three drams Du Pont smokeless and one ounce No. 8 ½ chilled shot in 2 7/8 inch U. M. C. Smokeless shell. It was certainly a great load for wild birds. Ducks, geese, cranes and prairie chickens are found near here."
