EVERY ONE THEIR OWN PAINTER. 



00 Per Cent. Saved. 



We are manufacturing a very fine Pure Ready- 

 mixed Paint, mixed in such a manner that any ordi- 

 nary stable or farm hand can make as good a Job 

 painting as a painter can with paint mixed in the old 

 way. This is because our paint does not set quick, 

 and thus show mark3 of the brush. We sell it lower 

 than materials can be boueht in the ordinary way, 

 and pay freight in certain sized orders. 



Any gentleman wishing to paint up his buildings 

 at small expense had better write, and have Bent 

 free our book.

In the judges' report at Philadelphia they were 1 

 commended for excellence in every part. Very 

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

 purposes where lawn, beach, hunters and camp] 

 tents are used; quick folding ; all aides strongly 

 fortified; enables them to stand agaiuBt winij 

 and raiu. Rev. P. B. Savage, of Albany, N. Y., 1 

 who camps out in Florida in winter, and the! 

 Adirondacks in summer, writes this about the 

 tents : 



Albany, July 31, 1877. 



Sirs— I have Just returned from a thre 

 camping expedition in the Adirondack-, and havdj 

 had the three tents bought of you put to the severest J 

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

 do most unhesitatingly say they are the most com- 

 plete thing of the Rind I ever used. 



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



2d. They are perfectly waterproof. 



3d. They are a good height, and all the roon 

 available. 



Ou> party asked for no better. They were admit 

 by all who saw them, and one party insisted on t 

 ing one of ours that was to spare. Rev. Dr. Dur; 

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

 indorse what I say about your tent. With kind i 

 gards, yours truly, P B. Savagk.

A recent notice in the Forest and Stbe. 

 from a correspondent, Bays : 



Whenever a sportsman, or even one who does not 

 claim the distinction, finds a really good and usefi 

 article, It is no more thaa fair that he should b 

 others have the benefit of his knowledge. For | 

 reason we would call attention to the Tan-coloi 

 Leather Shooting or Fishing Suits, made by G. ^ 

 SLMMONS & SON, of Boston, Mass., the manu 

 tnrers of the famous "Boston Shooting Suit." 



I saw these goods advertised in your paper, a 

 wrote to the parties for samples. I found the n 

 terial as soit and pliable as a piece of kid. I tef 

 it by soaking in water twelve hours, and found it a 

 nearly waterproof as one could desire, and after dry- \ 

 ing was happily surprised to find it had not stiffened 

 in the least. I have since then received a full suit- 

 coat, veBt and breeches— ordered by letter from 

 measure taken by myself. 



The goods are splendidly ma''", well lined witk 

 flannel; in fact I do not see ho* they can be im- 

 proved. 



My friends are unanimous in their verdict that G. 

 W. Simmons &, Son's leather goods cannot be ex- I 

 celled in quality or beateu in price.
