The Best in Use. 
ONLY ONE QUALITY MADE, AND THAT IS 
THE VERY BEST. 
Flexible Waterproof, Tan-Color Back. 
Each article— coat, trousers, vest and bat 
cap — has the name and manufacturers’ ad- 
dress stamped upon it, and no suit is genuine 
without it bears this imprint. 
We make no discount except to the trade. 
The price of the suit complete is $13. 
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 : “Although I had 
been nearly eight hours under incessant rain, 
laboring and striving along under adverse 
circumstances, yet 1 found myself compara- 
tively dry, and my clothes without a tear. For 
the benefit of our brother sportsmen, let me 
advise one of Messrs Simmons' (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 1 Ventilation, that great bugbear 
of waterproof suits, is legislated for iu the 
most ingenious manner. No sportsman should 
fail to supply himself with a suit which is at 
once cheap, practical, and will last an almost 
indefinite time." 
Our Flexible Tan-Colored W»ter-Proof 
Leather Coats, Breeches, Vest, Leg-' 
ging*. and Caps are considered the finest 
things ever made.

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 prevents 
It from driving through or springing away, thereby causing mlss-flres. The Cone Is made of nickel, and fas- 
tened solid In Its place. Neither rusts nor corrodes fast, like movable anvil made from steel. The Nickel 
Cone also prevents mlss-flrc when a cap lias been left on shell for a lew days, which Is liable to occur either 
In steel or Iron. These Shells are finely finished, and made any length ordered, from 2)4 to 8)4 Inches. 
Shellsand Loaders and Descriptive Prloe-LUts can he obtained from all the leading Sportsmen's Houses 
throughout the country. HART & SCO A X, Newark, N. p

Messrs, gborob E. Haiit & Co.— Gentlemen : The fifty Shells I received from you to-day suit me better 
than anvl have ever nsed. They are stronger and better In every respect, and I shall use them In all my 
shooting hereafter. Yours truly, a. H. BOGARDUS.
