 SHOOTING SUIT. 



Manufactured only by 



G-. W- SIMMONS & SON, 



BOSTON, MASS. 



THE BEST IN USE. 



ONLY ONH QUALITY MADE AND THAT IS- THE 

 VERY BEST. 



Flexible, Waterproof, Tan-Color, Duck. 



Each article— coat, trousers, vest and hat 

 — has the name and manufacturers' address 

 stamped upon it, and no suit is genuine -with- 

 out it hears this imprint. 



The suit can he sent, securely packed, by 

 mail to any part of the United States or Can- 

 ada on receipt of $1.25 above the price of 

 the suit. 



We make no discount except to the trade. 

 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, 

 waterproofed by a patent process. The color 

 is that known as " dead grass shade." 



The seams and pocket corners are copper 

 riveted, and nothing is neglected to make 

 the whole suit complete in every way. 



This is what one of our best sportsmen says 

 of it, writing from camp : " Miserable, drench- 

 ing 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 whatnot, that looked as if it would 

 tear you to pieces. Well, we got to our 

 camp, and I must confess I was agreeably sur- 

 prised on my arrival. Although I had been 

 nearly eight hours under incessant rain, labor- 

 ing and striving along under the adverse cir- 

 cumstances above mentioned, yet I found 

 myself comparatively dry, and my clothes 

 •wthout a tear. For the benefit of our brother- 

 sportsmen, let me advise one of Messrs. Sim- 

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

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

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

 you could 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 water- 

 proof suits, is legislated for in the most inge- 

 nious manner. No sportsman shoidd fail to 

 supply himself with a suit which is at once 

 cheap, practical, and will last an almost indef 

 inite time." 



OurLeatherJackets 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 $22 and $15.

 cription of each garment, with sample of the 

 material from which made, will be sent free 

 on application.

Hart's Sportsman's Favorite Metallic Shells 

 FOR BREECH-LOADING SHOT GUNS 



These Shells are easily loaded, and the caps easily extracted from inside 

 Head solid and much thicker than any Shell now made, giving a solid seat for cone or anvil' which m-eventa 

 it from driving through or springing away, thereby causing miss-fires. The Cone is made of nickel ami fas! 

 tened solid in its place. Neither rusts nor corrodes fast, like movable anvil made from steel TheTMirkei 

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

 in steel or iron. These Shells are finely finished, and made any length ordered, from 1H to 3U inches er 

 Shells and Loaders and Descriptive Price-Llsts can be obtained from all the leadl >g ri nl1Ma

FROM CAPTAIN BOGARDUS, CHAMPION WING-SHOT OF AMERICA 

 Messes. George E. Hart & Co.-Gentlemen: The fifty Shells I received from you to-day' suit me better 

 than anyl have ever used. They are stronger and better in every respect, and I shall use them in all m v 

 shooting hereafter. Yours truly, A H BOGARDUS
