"The Boston Shooting; Suit.— One of the moat 

 Successful manufacturers of Waterproof Shooting 

 Suits is the firm of G. W. Simmons & Son, Oak Hall, 

 Boston. We had one of their suits on duty at Hun 

 ter's Camp at Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition 

 It has grown gray in service, but is good 

 for uso yet. This suit is known as the 'Boston 

 Shooting Suit,' in contradistinction no doubt, from 

 the garments which are manufactured out west and at 

 Washington, each of which has a local demand of Its

made by 



I C.W. Simmons & Son. J 



This new design of Watkkpeoof Shooting) Serf, 

 made from extra quality duck, has attained such 

 popularity as to be called for from all parts of the 

 country, and even from Englaud. 



"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 in the Old Country, and that land of sports 

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

 which will doubtless be followed by many others."— 

 Bodvn Paper. 



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 suit is water-proofed hv 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 $13, TO IN- 

 CLUDE HAT OR DOUBLE YISORED CAP. DE- 

 TACHABLE HAVELOCK, COAT, VEST, AND 

 PANTALOONS. 



One hundred suits will be kept ready in stock, so 

 that we can urnisb to order any Bize requirod, at a 

 moment's notice. 



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

 the enthusiastic editor writes: — 



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

 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 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 'he 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 a marvel 

 in this latter respect."
