The Best in Use. 
ONLY ONE QUALITY MADE, AND TllAT 18 
THE VERY BEST. 
Flexible Waterproof, Tan-Color Duck. 
Each article— coat, trousers, vest and bat 
cap— has the name aud manufacturers' ad- 
dress stamped upon it, and no suit is genuine 
without it bears this imprint. 
We make no discount except to the trade. 
Tlio price of the suit complete is $18. 
The material is of the best quality of duck, 
waterproofed by a putcut process. The color 
is that known as “ dead grass shade." 
The seams aud 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 snys 
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 mo 
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 hud the palsy ; and theu, 
next morning, oh! what fun it was to sec him 
mending his clothes, while I had not a tear to 
complain of ! Ventilation, that great bugbear 
of waterproof suits, Is legislated for in tho 
most ingenious manner. No sportsman should 
fail to supply himself with a suit which is at 
once cheap, practical, aud will lust an almost 
indefinite time." 
Our Flexible Tim- Colored Whter-l’roof 
Leather Coats, Breeches, Vest, Leg- 
gings and Cups are considered the finest 
things ever made.
