CARL DITTMAR, Neponset, Mass. 



New York, July 10, 1877. 

 Editor Fobkst 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 in-doors, 

 when the smoke from any regular powder would 

 produce a smell rather offensive to gome people, and 

 cause somewhat greater obstruction to vision.

 SHOOTING SUIT. 



Manufactured only by 



a. W. SIMMONS & SON", 



Each article— coat, trousers, vest and hat— have 

 the name and manufacturer's address stamped upon 

 it, and no buR is genuine without it bears this im- 

 print. 



The suit can be sent, securely packed, by mail to 

 any part; of the United States or Canada on re- 

 ceipt of $1.25 above the price of the suit. 



We make no discount except to the trade. We 

 make bnt one quality, and that is the vert best. 

 The price of the suit complete is $13. 



The suit consists of coat, trousers, vest and choice 

 of either cap with havelock, or hat. 



The material Is of the best quality of duck, water- 

 proofed by a patent process. The color is that 

 known as "dead grass shade." 



The seams and pocket corners arc riveted, and 

 nothing is neglected to make the whole suit com- 

 plete iu every way. 



OUR HUNTING SHOES, 



which are considered the best in use, are also sent 

 by mail at an advance of 35 cents above the price 

 $5.50 per pair. These shoes are made to our special 

 order to match our suits, and the design of the 

 whole embraces the best polnn of the English and 

 French equipments, combined with all necessary 

 requirements for American service. 



Such a popularity as the "Boston Shooting Suit" 

 enjoys, has never been attained by auy other similar 

 garment la this country. It is lu constant demand 

 from all parts of America, and orders have been 

 Oiled for Canada and Rnirland. 



"Shipping clothing to Euglaud strlkos us very 

 much like send'ng 'coals to Newcastle,' but the 

 merits Of the BOSTON SHOOTING SUIT* have 

 been heard of in the Old Country, and that land of 

 sportBiuen has sent an order to Messrs. Simmons &. 

 Sou, which will doubtless be followed by many 

 others."— Boston Paper. 



The author of "Tales of the Adlrondacks," the 

 Rev. W; H. H. Murray, one of our moat enthusiastic 

 sportsmen, saya of it: 



"Wewera shown the other day a new waterproof 

 suit, specially adapted for spoilsmen, designed and 

 made up t>y Simmons & Son, or Boston, and to which 

 we call the attention of all brethren of the ont-d'oor 

 and shore-stKoting fraternity, because it meets the 

 demand of personal comfort aud convenience 

 btyond anything of home manufacture seen by us be- 

 fore. As a spoitsman, we give it our unqualified 

 endorsement, as combining the hest points of the 

 English suits, and iu addition skillfully adapted to 

 the necessities of the American service. It is a most 

 admirable and patiefaotory contrivance in color, 

 style, waterproof quality and capacity. The coat ia 

 a marvel in this latter respect." 



The Forest and Stream says : 



Thb Boston Shootino Suit.— One of the most 

 soeeesstui manufacturers of waterproof shooting 

 suits is the nrm of G. W. Simmons & Son. Oak Hall, 

 Uostou. Wo had one of their suits on duty at, Tlunt- 

 er'a Camp, at Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition. 

 It has grown gray in service, but Is good for use vet. 

 Tins snlt'.is kuown as the -Boston Shooting Suit," In 

 contradistinction no doutit, from the garments which 

 are manufactured out West and at Washington, 

 each of which has a local demand of its own.
