 have the name and manufacturer's addreBB 

 .stamped upon it, and no suit ia genuine without 

 it bears this imprint. 



The suit can be sent, securely packed, bv mail 

 to any part of the United States or Canada on 

 receipt of $1.25 above the price of the suit. 



We make no discount except to the trade. We 

 make but one quality, and that is the vekt best. 

 The price of the suit complete is $13. 



The suit consists of coat, trousers, vest, and 

 choice of either cap with liavelock, orihat. 



The material ia of the best quality of duck, 

 waterproofed by a patent process. The color is 

 that known as " dead grass shade." 



The seams and pocket corners are riveted, and 

 nothing is neglected to make the whole suit com- 

 plete in every way. 



OUR PATENT DECOYS

 wooden decoy. The Duck Decoys of all kinds 

 are $12 per dozen ; geese, $3 each ; yellow leg,

 ported. Size, 7 ft. by 8 ft. Price, $10 complete, 

 made on the umbrella principle, folding into a 

 neat roll 3 feet long. 



In the judges' report at Philadelphia they were 

 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 ; ah sides strongly 

 fortified; enables them to stand agaiust wind 

 andraiu. Rev. F. B. Savage, of Albany, N. Y., 

 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 three-weeks' 

 camping expedition in the Adirondack", and have 

 had the three tents bought of you put to the severest 

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

 do most unhesitatingly say they are the most com- 

 plete thing of the kind 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 room i 

 available. 



On' pirty asked for no better. They were admired 

 by all who saw them, aud one party Insisted on buy- 

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

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

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

 gards, yours truly, p jj. Savage.

A recent notice in the Fokest and Stream 

 from a correspondent, says : 



Whenever a sportsman, or even one who doeB not 

 claim the distinclion, iiuds a really good and userul 

 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 by G. W. 

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

 turers of the famous "Boston Shooting Suit." 



I saw these goods advertised m your paper, and 

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

 terial as solt and pliable as a piece of kid. 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 not stiffened 

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

 coat, vest and breechos— ordered by letter from 

 measure taken by myself. 



The goods are splendidly, ma' 7 .well lined with 

 flannel; In fact I do not Bee ho if they can be im- 

 proved. 



My friends are unanimous in their verdict that G. 

 W. Simmons & Son's leathe* goods cannot be ex- 

 celled in quality or beaten in price. 



For every kind of sportsmen's goods address
