Friend has photocopy of Winchester Herald circa 1920s. Says "Official Organ of the National Association of Winchester ________" Wants to know the last word which is cut off on the copy. Was it "dealers"?

I recall that some of the arms companies had newspapers or rap sheets mostly for employees. Doesn't mean that this is the case for your friend.

Could he reach a judgment on the type of audiences the subject maaterial seems to be written for? Might be a useful indicator.

I didn't explain thoroughly. It occured that friend should be able to extrapolate from the nature of included material but I believe friend has photocopy of single page or clipping therefrom containing reference to work by famous illustrator for WRA. Apparently unable to do so. Asked me to ask here. "Dealers" my first guess as seems early for "collectors" or "owners". "Friends of the Salvation Army" didn't seem to fit. It's for citation of publication and would probably look like friend didn't tie up loose ends if blank left on end. Don't know what the peekchor was. Something a bit FreddyRemingtonish I should think. Thanks, I will pass on your surmise.
