This vintage advertisement touts how cleanly the then newly released "Self Cleaning" line of U.S. Cartridge Company ammunition was. The top of the piece has the U.S. Cartridge Company logo at the left next to "SELF CLEANING/CARTRIDGES" The advertisement depicts a man inspecting the chamber and throat of his rifle for fouling. The tagline "Clean as a Whistle" is seen near his arm in a pistachio green circle. Next to the circle is one box each of .22 short, long, and long rifle cartridges. The lower left corner of the advertisement reads "No more fouled,/rusted or pitted barrels". The advertisement is housed in a wooden frame measuring 23x32 1/2 inches.
