W. H. IIOLABIRD 
Would most respectfully announce to his patrons and 
friends that he is prepared to make 
Shooting and Fishing Suits 
at the above prices. The ten dollar suit is better 
made than any competitor can offer for the same 
money. My original design having been appropriated 
by other manufacturers, I have been compelled to 
make many changes in the arrangement of pockets, 
&c,, for which I have to thank the fraternity at large 
for suggestions. I believe that I have the 
BEST SHOOTING AND FISHING COATS IN 
THE WORLD, 
and respectfully solicit your orders. I send my new 
Illustrated Catalogue, 16 pages, free on application. 
Dealers will find it to their advantage to handle my 
goods. They are better known and more highly es¬ 
teemed than any other make.

THE NEW 
BOSTON 
SHOOTING SUIT, 
Manufactured only by 
G. W. SIMMONS & SON, 
Boston, Mass. 
We otter this season an entirely new design of 
WATER-PROOF SHOOTING SHIT (made from ex¬ 
tra quality dnek), in the prepare! Ion of which we have 
been assisted by the advice and suggestions of our 
best resident sportsmen. 
Tbe design embraces the best points of the English 
and French Suits, combined with the necessary re¬ 
quirements for Americau service. Particular alteu- 
tention has been paid to color. 
Each suit 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 snit perfect in every 
respect. 
The price has been fixed at $13, to include Hat or 
Double Visored Cap, Detachable Haverlock, Coat, 
Vest, and Pantaloons. 
One hundred suits will be kept ready in Btock, 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, tbe 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 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 'be 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 n distance need Bond only 
the following to be sure of a perfect fit:—Waist Mea¬ 
sure. Height, Breast Measure, Length of Sleeve, Size 
of Head.
