"Boston Shooting Suit" 



Is manufactured only by 



G. W. SIMMONS & SON, 



Flexible, Waterproof, Tan-Color, Duck. 



Each article—coat, trousers, vest and hat— have 

 (he name and manufacturer's address stamped upon 

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

 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. 



We make no discount except to the trade. We 

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

 The price of the suit complete is $13.' 



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." 



Tue seams and pocktt comers are copper riveted, 

 and noih ng is neglected to make the whole suit 

 ccmplete in eveiy way. 



This Is what one of our best sportsmen says of it, 

 writing from camp: "Miserable, drenching rain, 

 pouring down in a perfect deluge, as if a second 

 flood had come upon the earth, two portages to 

 cross, and a swamp between them; that was the 

 prospect before we reached our camping ground. 

 Such a swamp, too; almost impassable, for where 

 the ground was firm was an almost impenetrable 

 thicket of thorns and what not, that looked as if it 

 would tear you to pieces. Well, we got to our eamp, 

 and I must conftss I was agreeably surprised on my 

 arrival. Although I had been nearly eight hours 

 under Incessant rain, laboring and striving along 

 under the adverse cirjunntances above mentioned, 

 yet I found myself comparatively dry, and my 

 clothes without a tear. For the benefit of our 

 brother spoitsmen, let me advise one of Messrs. 

 Simmons' (of Boston, Mass. ) Waterproof Suits. 

 Ou ! what a relief it was to find one's tobacco was 

 dry, and that one could light a pipe ; that you c uld 

 laugh at your miserable friend, who stood shivering 

 and shaking as if he had the palsy; and then, next 

 morning, oh ! what fun it was to see him mending 

 his clothes, while I had not a tear to complain of. 

 Ventilation, also, that great bugbear of waterproof 

 suits, is legislated form the most irgenions manner. 

 No sportsman should fall to supply himself with a 

 suit wbich is at once cheap, practical, and will last 

 an almost Indefinite time." 



Our New Overcoat— The 

 "Plevna," 



Water-proof, Mildew-proof and Moth-proof, is at- 

 tracting great attention. It is made and sold tnly 

 at Oakhall, Boston. The price Is * 1 3. 



It is a long overcoat made to wear to cover, or 

 when driving or walking in stormy weather. It Is 

 perfectly waterproof, thoroughly ventilated, and 

 lust the garment that every sporting man should 

 have. 



Our Leather Jackets and Vests 



are the great wind protectors. They are made 

 from soft, pliable black leather, flannel lined, and 

 sell at $9 and $7. 



Our Flexible Tan - Colored 

 Waterproof Leather Coats 

 and Breeches 



are considered the finest things ever made. They 

 sell at $23 and $15. 



An illustrated circular, containing full description 

 of each garment, with sample of the material from 

 which made, will be sent free on application.
