Each article— coat, trousers, vest and hat

dress stamped upon It, aud uo suit is genuine 
without it nears this imprint. 
Wc make no discount except to the trade. 
The price of the suit complete is $18. 
The material is of Ihe best quality of duck, 
waterproofed by a patent process. The color 
is that known ns “ dead grass shade.” 
The seams and pocket corners are copper- 
riveted, and nothing is neglected to make tho 
wkolo suit complete in every way. 
This is what one of our best sportsmen Bays 
of it, writing from camp : "Although 1 hail 
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 Suite. Oil I what a relief 
it was to find one’s tobacco was dry, and that 
one could fight a pipe ; thnt you could laugh 
at vour miserable friend, who stood shivering 
and shaking aa if he hud the palsy ; and then, 
next morniDg, oh I what fun it was to see him 
mending his clothes, while I had not a tear to 
complain of I 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, and will lust an almost 
indefinite time.” 
Our Flexible Ton-Colored W* ter- Proof 
Leather Coils, Breeches. Vest, Leg- 
gings mid Clips arc considered the. finest 
things ever made.
