 powder. Address 



CARL DITTMAR, Neponset, Mass. 



New York, July in, 1877. 

 Editok Forest and Stream and Rod and Gun : 



Please say, for the information of some of my 

 friends who may be misled by current statements, 

 that I am still on the same powder for all out-door 

 shooting, which I have used for several years past, 

 never having risked the use of the nitrated powders 

 except when shooting in a confined space ln-doors, 

 when the smoke from any regular powder would 

 produce a smell rather offensive to Borne people, and 

 cause somewhat greater obstruction to vision.

 made on the umbrella principle, folding into a 

 neat roll 3 feet long. 



In the judges' report at Philadelphia they wero 

 commended for excellence iu every part. Very 

 novel and practicable ; adapted to all out-of-door 

 purposes whero lawn, beach, hunters and camp 

 tents ato used ; quick folding ; all sides strongly 

 fortified ; enables them to stand against wind 

 and rain. Rev. F. B. Savage,- of Albany, N. Y., 

 who camps out in Florida in winter, and the 

 Adirondacks in summer, writes this about tho 

 tents : 



Albany, July 31, 1877. 



Sins— I have just relumed frjm a three-weeks' 

 camping expedition in tho Ad rmdack-, and have 

 had the three tents bought of you put to the severest 

 tests of exposure both as to wind and storm, and I 

 do most unhesitatingly say they are the most com- 

 plete thing of the kind 1 ever used. 



1st. They are easily put up or taken down. 



2d. They are perfectly waterproof. 



3d. They are a good height, and all Ihe room ia 

 available. 



Our party asked for no better. They were admired 

 by all who saw them, and one party insisted on buy- 

 ing one of ours that was to spare. Rev. D r . Duryea, 

 of Brooklyn, and the Rev. Dr. Irwin, of Troy, both 

 indorse what I say about your tent. With kind re- 

 gards, yoars truly, F B. Savaqe.

 Hats at following prices : Coats, $22 ; Breeches 

 $15; Jackets, $13; Vests, $12. These form tho 

 most elegant shooting equipment known. They

A recent notice in the Fobest and Stbeam, 

 from a correspondent, says : 



Whenever a sportsman, or even one who does not 

 claim the distinction, finds a really good and useful 

 article, it is no more than fair that he should let 

 others have the benefit of his knowledge. For this 

 reason we would call attention to the Tan-colored 

 Leather Shooting or Fishing Suits, made byG. W. 

 SIMMONS & SON, of Boston, Mass., the manufac- 

 turers of the famous "Boston Shooting Suit." 



I saw these goods advertised in your paper, and 

 wrote to the parties for samples. I found the ma- 

 terial as aoit and pliable as a piece of kU*. I tested 

 it by soaking in water twelve hours, and found It as 

 nearly waterproof as one could desire, and after dry- 

 ing was happily surprised to find it had uotstiiierfed 

 in trie least. 1 have since then received a fall suit— 

 coat, vest and breeches— ordered by letter from 

 measure taken by myself. 



The goods are splendidly ma' ? , well lined with 

 flannel; in fact I do not Bee no*' they can be im- 

 proved. 



My friends are unanimous in their verdict that G. 

 W. Simmous i. Son's leather goods cannot be ex- 

 celled in quality or beaten in price.
