1929 QUACK MEDICAL FITNESS GYM WORKOUT SAVAGE ARMS HEALTH MOTOR AD SEXY 28778 Savage Arms has a rich, albeit turbulent, history. The company bears the name of its founder, Arthur Savage, who was born in Kingston, Jamaica on May 13, 1857. Arthur came to the United States in 1893 and soon became involved in the design and manufacture of firearms. Although he lacked an engineering background, after a short firearms apprenticeship, he went on to develop the rotary magazine and a side ejecting internal hammer lever-action rifle. Hoping to gain a military contract, he developed his Model 1892/93 for military use but in the end it lost out to the Krag. This didn't set very well with Arthur who felt that a bolt action was chosen over his lever action design merely for political reasons. Undaunted he made some minor changes and introduced his design to the sporting market as the Model 1895. As what was to become the Savage Arms plant was still under construction in Utica, New York Arthur contracted John Marlin to build his first 8,200 rifles. However, once his plant was completed in 1899 Arthur took over production. In doing so he reduced the asking price of his rifle by 10%. His desire was straightforward: to build a quality rifle that was affordable by all, not just the educated and wealthy. This year also saw the introduction of the famous Savage 99 and its .303 Savage cartridge.

ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THIS ITEM :
Then in 1930 Savage grew even larger when it acquired A.H. Fox. This company was founded by renowned trap shooter and inventor Ansley Fox and was known for building fine shotguns. Ansley had introduced a double-barrel single-trigger shotgun in 1905 that was widely considered one of the best in the country. With these three factories, and over 3,000 employees, Savage suddenly became one of the largest manufactures West of New York. During this time Savage also ventured into other non-related fields and produced an amazing array of products. These included lawn mowers, washing machines, health motors, ice cream cabinets and even the first chainless bicycle.
