THE 



"Boston Shooting Suit" 



Is manufactured jmly by 



G. W. SIMMONS & SON, 



Flexible, Waterproof, Tan-Color, Duck. 



Each arttoie~coat, trousers, vest and hat— Savo 

 (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 mail to 

 any part of the United States or Canada on re- 

 ceipt of i 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 vert best. 

 The price of the suit complete la $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." 



The seams and pocket coiners are copper riveted, 

 and nothing is neglected to make the whole su t 

 complete in every way. 



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

 writing from camp: "Miserable, drenching rain, 

 pouring down in a pert • ct deluge, as if a second 

 flood had come upon the earth, two portages to 

 cross, anil 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 camp, 

 and I must confess I was agreeably surprised on my 

 arrival. Although I had been nearly eight hours 

 u»der i&cessaut rain, laboring and striving along 

 under the adverse circumstances above mentioned, 

 yet I found myself comparatively dry, and my 

 clothes without a tear. For the benefit of our 

 brother sportsmen, let me advise one of Messrs. 

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

 Oh ! whivt a relief it was to And one's tobacco was 

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

 laugh at jour miserable friend, who stood shivering 

 and shal Ing as if he had the palsy ; and then, next 

 morning oh ! what lun 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 ingenious manner. 

 No gporujmau should fail to supply himself with a 

 Buit which is at once cheap, practical, and will last 

 an almost indefinite time."
