it bears this Imprint. 
The suit can be sent, securely packed, by mail 
to any part of the United States or Cauada on 
receipt of $1.25 above the price of the 6uit. 
We make no discount except to the trade. We 
make but one quality, and that is the very BE 9 T. 
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 6hade.” 
The seams and pocket corners nro riveted, and 
nothing is neglected to make the whole suit com- 
plete in every way. 
OUR PATENT DECOYS

bersome, wooden decoys. The birds are hollow, 
and six of them occnpy about the space of one 
wooden decoy. The Duok Decoys of all kinds

who camps out in Florida in winter, and the 
Adirondacks in summer, writes this about the 
tents : 
Albany, July 31, 1877. 
Sirs— I have just returned from a three-weeks’ 
camping expedition in the Adirondacks, and have 
had the three tents bought of you put to the severest 
testa 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.

A recent notice in the Fobest and Stbeam, 
from a correspondent, says : 
Whenever a sportsman, or even one who does not 
claim (he distinction, flnds a really good and useful 
article, It is uo more than fair that he should let 
others have the beneflt of his knowledge. For this 
reason we would call attention to the Tan-colored 
Leather Shooting or Fishing hulls, made by G. W 
SIMMONS A SON, of Boston, MaTs., the manufac • 
turers of the famous “ Boston Shooting Suit.” 
I saw these goods advertised in your paper, and 
wrote to the parties for Bamples. I found the ma- 
terial as soft and pliable as a piece of k : d. I tested 
it by soaking In water twelve hours, and found It as 
nearly waterproof as one could desire, and after dry- 
ing was inppliy eurprlsed to And it had not stiffened 
In ihe 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 made, well lined with 
flannel ; In fact I do not see how they can be Im- 
proved. 
My friends are unanimous in their verdict thnt G. 
W. Simmons A Son's leather goods cannot lie ex- 
celled In quality or beaten In price.
