 print. 



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

 any part of the United States or Canada on re- 

 ceipt of $1.25 above the price of the suit.

 whole embraces the best point! of the English and 

 French equipments, combined with all necessary 

 requirement for American service. 



Such a popularity as the "Boston Shooting Suit " 

 enjoys, has neverbeen attained by any other similar- 

 garment In this country. It is in constant demand 

 from all part3 of America, and orders have been 

 filled for Canada and England. 



" Shipping clothing to England strikes us very 

 much like seud'n* 'coala to Newcastle,' but the 

 merits of the BOSTON SHOOTING SUITS have 

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

 sportsmen has seat an order to Messrs. Simmons & 

 Sou, which will doubtless bo followed by many 

 others."— Boston Paper. 



The author of "Tales of the Adirondack's," the 

 Rev. W. II. H. Murray, one of our most enthusiastic 

 sportsmen, says of it: 



" We were shown the other day a new waterproof 

 sntt, specially adapted for sportsmen, designed and 

 made up by Simmons A Son, of Boston, aud 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 0/ home manufacture seen by ua be- 

 fore, as a spoitsruan, we give it our unqualified 

 endorsement, as combining tho host poinis of the 

 English suits, and in addition skillfully adapted to 

 the necessities of the American service. It i-i a most 

 admirable and satisfactory contrivance in color, 

 style, waterproof quality and capacity. The coat is 

 a marvel in Hub latter respect." 



The Forest and Stream says :

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

 Tins suit Is known as the '-Boston Shooting Salt," la
