["BOSTON shooting suit," 

 made by 

 C.W. Simmons & Son. 



This new design of Waterproof Shootins Suit, 

 made from extra quality duck, has attained such 

 popularity as to be called for from all parts of the 

 country, and even from England. 



"Shipping clothing to England strikes us very much 

 like sending 'Coals to Newcastle,' but the merits 

 of the "BOSTON SHOOTING SUITS" have been 

 heard of iu the 0,d Country, and that land of sport* 

 men has sent an order to Messrs. Simmons & Son, 

 which will doubtless be followed by many others.' - — 

 Boston Taper. 



The design embraces the best points of the English 

 and French Suits, combined with the necessary re- 

 quirements for American service. Particular atten- 

 teution has been paid to color. 



Each snit is water-proofed by a new patent process. 

 The seams and pocket corners are securely fastened, 

 and nothing neglected to render the suit perfect In 

 every respect. 



THE PRICE HAS BEEN FIXED AT 813, TO IN- 

 CLUDE HAT OR DOUBB. ' KBD CAP, DE- 

 TACHABLE HAYELOOK, OOAT, VEST, AND 

 PANTALOONS. 



One hundred suits will be kept ready In stock, so 

 that we can jrnisb to order any size required, at a 

 moment's notice. 



In the Golden Sule (Rev. W. H. H. Murray's paper) 



the enthusiastic editor writes:— 



'•We were shown, the other day, a new water-proof 

 eoit, 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 Bhore-shooting fraternity, because it meets the 

 demand or 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 'he best points of the English 

 suits, and in addition skilfully adapted to the neces- 

 sities of the American service . It is a moat admirable 

 and satisfactory contrivance in color, style, water- 

 proof quality and capacity. The coat Is a marvel 

 in tliis latter respect."
