Very nice composition.

Those Western Cartridge Co., Super-X the Long Range Load booklets are a very nice bit of ephemera to have with a Super-Fox. Several seem to carry "(copyright symbol) 1927 W.C. Co. Printed in U.S.A." on the bottom right of the back cover, but also have an additional date on the bottom left of the back cover "Form B10 xxM m-yy A.C.C." I haven't seen a green one like that dated in the 1920s. Addictive folks like myself have a lot of these booklets!!

The earliest one I've found is this from circa 1922 that just has the 12- and 20-gauge and inside the back cover states the 16-gauge Super-X load is just out.

The next one I have is grey with red ink and is undated. It includes 10-, 12-, 16- and 20-gauges and .410-bore Super-X loads --

The next one I have is the same 36 pages, but dated 5-28 on the back cover --

Next, I have one like in Jason's picture with green ink on the cream cover, which includes four more pages on Lubaloy shot and is dated 4-30 --

Next, I have one with a beige cover with blue ink that is 48 pages and now includes the 28-gauge Super-X load, and is dated 2-31 --

Next, one with the same 48 pages but a light blue cover with green ink and dated 2-32 --

Oddly I have another just like this, same 48 pages, with 2-33 on the back cover?

The next one I have has a beige cover with dark red ink, is up to 56 pages and includes the Magnum-Ten and dated 11-32 --

The next one I have is also beige with dark red ink, but is 60 pages and includes the new 3-inch .410-bore shell, dated 11-33. Additional printings I have are dated 11-34, 3-35 and 10-35.

I thought we were going to put this stuff in the paper, catalog, advertising forum?
