I don't know Polish, but from the resemblance to other Slavic languages can gather that this
DOSTAWCA(Supplier)
CESARSKIEGO TOW.(TOWARZYSTWO) RACYONALNEGO POLOWANIA
Stands for "Supplier to the Royal Society for Rational Hunting" *
Odznaczony 5-ma pierwszorzednemi medalami

Likely it means the maker was 5-times medalist at various excibitions.

Something like "the best choice for a true hunter", I guess

Probably, "Guns of the newest systems"

John Cockerill
I agree with " Advert notes that either he uses Cockerill steel exclusively or is the exclusive outlet for Cockerill steel tubes."
Cenniki ilustrowane wyselaja sie na zadanie
"Illustrated catalogue and price list is sent on request"

* - In Imperial Russia there was a society with a similar name, it promoted wildlife management, ethical hunting, game conservation and similar issues. Since Poland used to under Russian Empire, perhaps this organisation is meant. If so, it's pretty cool, for the Russian "Royal Society for Correct Hinting" was a very influental organisation, with quite a few of high-standing Romanovs taking active part in its actions. With Romanovs' well-know love of the Lebeau, there seems to be more than one associations. More likely, however, a Polish equivalent is meant.
