THE NEW 
BOSTON 
SHOOTING SUIT, 
Manufactured only by 
G. W. SIMMONS & SON, 
Bostou, Moss. 
ATe offer this season an entirely new design of 
WATER-PROOF SHOOTING SUIT (made from ex¬ 
tra quality duck), in the preparation of which we have 
been assisted by the advice and suggestions of our 
best resident sportsmen. 
The design embraces the best points or the English 
and French Suits, combined with the necessary re¬ 
quirements for Amerlcau service. Particular atten- 
tenl ion has been paid to color. 
Each suit is thoroughly water-proofed by a new pat¬ 
ent process. The Beams aud pocket corners being 
Bccurely fastened, the arm holes ventilated, and 
nothing neglected to render the snit perfect in every 
respect. 
The price has been fixed at $13, to include Hat or 
Double Visored Cap, Detachable Haverlook, Coat, 
Vest, and Pantaloons. 
One hundred suits will be kept ready in Block, so 
that we can furnish to order any size required, at a 
moment’s notice. 
In the Golden Rule (Rev. W. H. H. Murray’s paper) 
the enthusiastic editor writes:— 
“We were shown, the other day, a new water-proof 
snit, specially adapted for sportsmen, designed and 
made up by Simmons & Son, of Boston, and to which 
we call the attention of all brethren of the out-door 
and Bbore-shooting fraternity, because it meets the 
demand of personal comfort and convenience beyond 
anything of borne mannfactnre seen by ns before. 
As a sportsman, we give it onr unqualified endorse¬ 
ment, ns combining the best points of the English 
suits, and in addition skilfully adapted to the neces¬ 
sities of the American service. It is a most admirable 
and satisfactory contrivance in color, style, water¬ 
proof quality' and capacity. The coat is u marvel 
in this latter respect." 
Persons ordering from a distance need send only 
the following to be sure of a perfect fit:—Waist Mea- 
anre, Height, Bream Measure, Length of Sleeve, Size 
of Head.
