Flexible Waterproof, Tan-Color Duck. 
Each article— coat, trousers, vest and hat 
cap — ha9 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 tho trade. 
The price of the suit complete is $13. 
The material is of llie best quality of duck, 
waterproofed by a patent process. The color 
is that known ns “ dead grass shade." 
The seams and pocket corners arc copper- 
riveted, and nothiug is neglected to make the 
whole suit completo iu every way. 
This is what one of our best sportsmen says 
of it, writing from camp : "Although I had 
been nearly eight hours under iucessunt ruin, 
laboring uud striving along under adverse 
circumstances, yet 1 found myBclf compara- 
tively dry, and my clothes without a tear. For 
the benefit of our brother sportsmen, lot me 
advise one of Messrs Simmons' (of Boston, 
Mass. ) Waterproof Suits. Oh ! what a relied 
it was to flDil one's tobacco was dry, and that 
one could light a pipe ; that you could laugh 
at your miserable fncud, who stood shivering 
ana shaking as if he had the palsy ; aud then, 
next morning, oh! what fun it was to see him 
mending his clothes, while I had not a tear to 
complain of ! Ventilation, that great bugbear 
of waterproof suits, is legislated for iu tho 
most ingenious manner. No sportsman should 
fail to supply himself with a suit which is at 
once cheap, practical, aud will lost au almost 
indefinite time.' 1 
Our Flexible* Tau -Colored W*ter- Proof 
Leather Coats, Breeches, Vest, Leg- 
gings and Caps are considered tho finest 
things ever made.
