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 parts of America, and orders have boeu 

 filled for Canada and England. 



"Shipping clothing to England strikes us very 

 mnch Use seud'ng 'coals to Newcastle,' but the 

 merits of the BOSTON SHOOT1NH SUITS have 

 been heard of in the OldCouuiry, and that, land of 

 sportsmen has seut an order to Messrs. Simmons ,v 

 Son, which will doubtless be followed by many 

 others." — Huston Paper. 



The author of "Tales of the Adirondack. 1 !," the 

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

 sportsmen, say a of it: 



"We were shown Hie other day a new waterproof 

 suit, specially adapted for sportsmen, designed and 

 made up by Simmons & Sou, ol Boston, and to which 

 we call the attention of all brethren of the nut-door 

 and shore-sn lOtiDg fraternity, because it urt< il - thi

The FOREST and Stream says : 



thk Boston Shooting StJiT.-One of the most 



successful inanutacr.ui ers of waterproof shooting 

 suits is t lie firm of G. \V. Simmons .V Son. Oak Hall, 

 Boston. We had one of their BUiis on duly at Hunt- 

 er's Camp, at Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition. 

 It lias grown gray iu service, hut is good for use vet. 

 This suit is known as the "Boston Shooting Suit," in 

 contradistinction no doubt, from the garments which 

 are manufactured out West and at Washington, 

 each of which has a local demand of its own. 



A letter from San Francisco, CaU-, says:

 felt here, ami we have no doubt many will be 

 ordered. I am obliged to you for sending by mail 

 and thereby saving me several dollars. Enclosed
