 SHOOTING SUIT. 



Manufactured only by 



a. w Simmons & s<ot, 



BOSTON, MASS. 



THE BEST IN USE. 



ONLY ONE 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 bears this imprint. 



The suit can be 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 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 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 should fail to 

 supply himself with a suit which is at once 

 cheap, practical, and will last an almost indef 

 inite time." 



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 $22 and $15. 



An illustrated circular, containing full des- 

 cription of each garment, with sample of the 

 material from which made, will be sent free 

 on application.

 breech ends of the barrels for loading, aud works 

 smoothly and without requiring much force to open 

 the gun aud cock the locks. There is a safety bolt 

 at the side which answers for half cock. The
