 made on the umbrella principle, folding into a 

 neat roll 3 feet long. 



. n ci.e judges' report at Philadelphia they were 

 crmmended for excellence in every part. Very 

 novel and i racticable ; adapted to all out-of-door 

 purposes where lawn, beach, hunters and camp 

 tents are used ; quick folding ; all sides strongly 

 .fortified ; enables them to stand against wind 

 and rain. 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. 



Sins— I have just returned from a three-weeks' 

 camping expedition in I he Adirondack", and have 

 had the three teats bought of you put to the severest 

 tests of exposure both as to wind and 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 1 

 available. 



Our party asked for no better. They were admired 

 by all who saw them, and one party insisted on buy- 

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

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

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

 gards, yours truly, F B. Sat age.

A recent notice in the Forest and Stream 

 from a correspondent, says : 



Whenever a sportsman, or even one who does not 

 claim the distinction, finds a really good and useful 

 article, it is no more thau fair that he should let 

 others have the benellt of his knowledge. Fortius 

 reason we would call attention to the Tan-colored 

 Leather Snooting 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 in your paper, and 

 wrote to the parties lor 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 fall suit- 

 coat, vest and breeches— ordered by letter from 

 measure taken by myself. 



The goods are splendidly ma 1 ' " , well lined with 

 flannel; in fact I do not seeho* - they can be im- 

 proved. 



My friends are unanimous in their verdict that G. 

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

 celled in quality or beaten in price.
