EACH GARMENT DISTINCLY MARKED 

 f "BOSTON SHOOTING SUIT," "] 



made by 

 I C.W. Simmons & Son. J 



This new design of Waterproof Shooting 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, 1 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.'*— 

 Boston Paper. 



The design embraces the best points of the English 

 and French Suits, combined with the necessary re- 

 quirements for American service. Particular atien- 

 tention has been paid to color. 



Each suit 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 $13, TO IN- 

 CLUDE HAT OR DOUBLE VISORED CAP. DE- 

 TACHABLE HAVELOCK, COAT, VEST, AND 

 PANTALOONS . 



One hundred suits will be kept ready in stock, so 

 that we can wrnisb to order any Bize required, at a 

 moment's notice. 



In the Golden Eule (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."

"The Boston Shooting Suit.— One of the most 

 successful manufacturers of Waterproof Shooting 

 Suiis is l he firm of G. W.Simmons & Son. Oak Hail, 

 Boston. We had one of their suits on dutv at Hun- 

 ter's Camp at Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition 

 It has yrown gray in service, but is good 

 for use 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, e«».ch of which has a local demand of its 

 own. It is said that the western prairie fowl can 

 distinguish any sportsman who visits their domain 

 by his clothes. They can tell him 'by the cut of his 

 jib,' and the old educated birds (which no one cares to 

 eat, by the way,) know exactly what distances to 

 keep from the rail- shooters, the brant men, and the 

 chicken-killers respectively, to be safe. They have 

 'got them all down fine.' This used not to be so be- 

 fore the waterproof shooting suits were invented. 

 Bostonians, Hoosiers and Buckeyes all stood the same 

 chance then. Bat now it is— with a sarill pipe to lee- 

 ward by the old-weather cock— 'here comes a Sim- 

 mons; cheese it 1' or, "Ere's a 'Enning— lie low!' or,
