THE NEW 
BOSTON 
SHOOTING SUIT 
Manufactured only by 
G. W. SIMMONS & SON, 
Boston, Mass. 
We offer this season an entirely new design of 
WATER-PROOF SHOOTING SUIT (made from ex¬ 
tra quality dnek), 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 of the English 
and French Suits, combined with the necessary re¬ 
quirements for American service. Particular atten- 
tention has been paid to color. 
Each sait is thoroughly water-proofed by a new pat¬ 
ent process. The seams and pocket corners being 
securely fastened, the arm holes ventilated, and 
nothing neglected to render the suit perfect in every 
respect. 
The price has been fixed at $13, to include Hat or 
Double Yisored Cap, Detachable Haverlock, Coat, 
Vest, and Pantaloons. 
One hundred suits will be kept ready in stock, so 
that we can famish 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-proor 
suit, 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 ont-door 
and shore-shooting fraternity, because it meets the 
demand of personal comfort and convenience beyond 
anything of home manufacture seen by us before. 
As a sportsman, we give it our unqualified endorse¬ 
ment, as combining the bed; 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 a marvel 
in this latter respect.” 
Persons ordering from a distance need send only 
the following to be snre of a perfect fit:—Waist Mea¬ 
sure, Height, Breast Measure, Length of Sleeve, Size 
of Head.
