Description	:	From the St. Paul Republican, March 8, 1906, page 1, transcribed by Linda Berney: Invents an Improved Gun – As a worker in wood and metals, Lawrence Sack is a genius. His patented plow extension, which makes it possible to increase the width of a furrow several inches while adding very little to the draft, is familiar to most Howard county farmers and is quite generally used in some sections.

Read More	From the St. Paul Republican, March 8, 1906, page 1, transcribed by Linda Berney: Invents an Improved Gun – As a worker in wood and metals, Lawrence Sack is a genius. His patented plow extension, which makes it possible to increase the width of a furrow several inches while adding very little to the draft, is familiar to most Howard county farmers and is quite generally used in some sections. Mr. Sack has just completed the model for an improved shotgun which is a marvel of simplicity and accuracy. Its principal feature is the rapidity with which it may be fired and loaded, a simple twist of the wrist while the gun is still at the shoulder ejecting the shell and throwing the barrel into a position from which it may be easily reloaded without lowering. The insertion of a fresh shell automatically throws the barrel back into firing position and locks it. The gun is hammerless and is equipped with safety devices which render accidents practically impossible. The Republican has had enough experience with Mr. Sack’s handiwork not to be surprised at anything he turns out, but this gun is certainly a pretty smooth thing for a country blacksmith to produce. All that keeps Lawrence out of the millionaire class is a lack of capital with which to exploit his inventions.
