6. Frock ok half coat. 



"A medium length between the long coat and jacket, and used chiefly 

 in connection with long (hip) guin boots, by oyster fishermen ; 

 also by sportsmen, with (hunting) gum boots ; they are also 

 used in connection with pants. Price, $22 per dozen." 



7. Petticoat barvell. 



"A very useful garment to fishermen, better serving the purpose of 

 pants in warm weather, by permitting the free circulation of 

 air around the body of wearer, and at the same time affording 

 complete protection from wet when used in connection with 

 gum boots. Price, $10.50 per dozen." 



8. Barvell or apron. 



" Used chiefly by fish packers, pork packers, tanners, oystermen, and 

 in fact any class of workmen at a bench where exposed to wet 

 or oil. To leather dressers the barvell is indispensable, inas- 

 much as the waterproofing compound is unaffected by acids or 

 chemicals. Price, $9.50 per dozen." 



9. Sleeves. 



" Used in connection with petticoat and apron barvells, and are very 

 convenient to fish packers in protecting shirt sleeves in winter, 

 thereby obviating the necessity of turning shirt sleeves up, 

 and exposing the bare arm in cold weather. Price, $4 per 

 dozen." 



b. Double goods, black. Fish brand. 



10. Long coat. 



" Inside sleeves, patched elbow, epaulet on shoulder, &c, made ol 

 same material as the yellow coat of same style, and preferred

 dozen." 



11. Jacket. 



"Used principally by fishermen and sailors ; same style as the yel- 

 low jackets. Used also by miners. Price, $15.50 per dozen." 



12. Fishermen's apron trousers. 



"The same as corresponding pants in yellow before described; 

 highly popular among fishermen. Price, $15.50 per dozen."

" Same as the yellow string pants. Used by sailors and miners."
