 novel and practicable ; 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. P. B. Savage, of Albany, K. Y. 

 who camps out in Florida in winter, and the 

 Adlrondacks 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 

 testa of exposure both as to wind and storm, and 1 

 do most unhesltatiDgly say they are the most com- 

 plete thing of the kind I ever used. 



1st. They are easily put up or takeu down. 



2d. They are perfectly waterproof. 



3d. They are a good height, aud all the room i 

 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. Br. Duryea, 

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

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

 gards, yours truly, F B. Savage.

A recent notice iu the Forest aijd Strea 

 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 thaa fair tfcat 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, Miss., the manufac- 

 turers of the famous "Boston Shooting Suit." 



I saw these goods advertised in your paper, and 

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

 terial as eott and pliable aB 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 drv- 

 iug was Happily surprised to And it had not stiffened 

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

 coat, vest and breeches— ordered by letter from 

 measure taken by myself. 



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

 flannel; in fact I do not Bee hof they can be im- 

 proved. 



My friendB are unanimous In their verdict that G. 

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

 celled in quality or beaten in price.

 tened solid iu its place. Neither rusts nor corrodes fast, lite movable anvil made from steel The Nickel 

 Cone also prevents miss-flre when a cap has been left on shell for a few days, which is liable to occur either 

 in steel or iron. These Sheila are finely finished, and made any length ordered, from 2v to -',y. inches
