BOSTON.

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

 print. 



The suit can he 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 hut one quality, and that is the very best. 

 The price of the suit complete is $i£. 



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 are riveted, and 

 nothing is neglected to make the whole suit com- 

 plete in every way. 



OUR HUNTING SHOES, 



which aro considered the best in use, are also sent

Shaped. Ventilated. Of same Water-Proofed Ma- 

 terial. PRICE, $2.50. Those who prefer this to the 

 ordinary hat or cap, can have the same sent with 

 ' The Boston Shooting Suit" at an added cost only 

 of $1.00. 



Such a popularity as the "Boston Shooting Suit " 

 enjoys, has never been 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 ns very 

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

 merits of the BOSTON SHOOTING SUITS have 

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

 sportsmen has sent an order to Messrs. Simmons & 

 Sou, which will doubtless be followed by many 

 others."— Ronton Paper. 



The author of "Tales of the Adirondacks," the 

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

 sportsmen, says of it: 



"We were shown the other day a new waterproof 



suit, specially adapted for sportsmen, designed and 

 made up by Simmons ,t Son, of Boston, and to which 

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

 and shorc-shuoting fraternity, because it meets the 

 demand of personal comfort and convetiieace 

 beyond, anything of home 'manufacture seen bt/vs be- 

 fore. As a snortsman, we (rive it our unqualified 

 endorsement, as combining the best points of the 

 English suits, and in addition skillfully adapted to 

 the necessities of the American service. It is a most 

 admirable and satisf&ci , :■., r:iv m-.- m ,■, , 

 style, waterproof quality and capacity. The coat is 

 a marvel in this latter respect." 



Tub Forest and Stream says : 



Tub Boston Shooting Suit.— One of the most 

 successful manufacturers of waterproof shooting 

 suits is the firm of G. W. Simmons A- Son, Oik Hall, 

 Boston. We had one of their suits on duty at Hunt- 

 er's Camp, at Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition. 

 It has grown gray in Service, but is good for use vet. 

 This snit 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, Cal., says: 

 G. W. Simmons ,{.- Son : 



Gentlemen— I have this day received the "Boston 

 Shooting Suits" ordered Horn you on the 10th. 



My object in writing Is simply to say that they 

 came to hand by mail in perfect order, and 1 am

 if not more, than represented in vour advertisement 

 in Forest and Stream. They supply a want long 

 felt hero, and we have no doubt many will be 

 ordered. I am obliged to you lor sending by mail 

 aDd thereby saving mc several dollars. Enclosed 

 please find the money to repay you for postage. 

 .Yours very truly, ■ ■ .
