Flexible Waterproof, Tan-Color Buck. 
Each article— coat, trousers, vest and hat 
cap— has the name and manufacturers' ad- 
dress stamped upon it, and no suit iB genuine 
without it nears Ibis 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 ns “ dead grass shade." 
The seams ami pocket corners are copper- 
riveted, autl nothing is neglected to make tho 
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 ram, 
laboring and striving along under adverse 
circumstances, yet 1 found myself compara- 
tively dry, and my clothes without a tear. For 
tho benefit of our brother sportsmen, let mo 
udvisc one of Messrs Simmous’ (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 ; 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 in the 
most ingenious manner. No sportsman should 
fail to supply himself with a suit which is nt 
once cheap, practical, and will last an almost 
indefinite time." 
Our Flexible Tail-Colored Water-Proof 
Leather Colts, Breeches, Vest, Leg- 
glngs untl Caps are considered tho finest 
things ever made.
