The Best In Use. 
ONLY ONE QUALITY MADE. AND THAT IS 
THE VERY BEST. 
Flexible Waterproof, Tan-Color Duck. 
Each article— coat, trousers, vest and hat 
cap— has the name and manufacturers' ad- 
dross 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 $18. 
The material is of the best quality of duck, 
wnterproofed by a patent process. Tho color 
is that known as “ dead grass shude.” 
The seams and pocket corners are copper- 
riveted, and nothing is neglected to make the 
whole suit complete in every way. 
This iswhat 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 udversc 
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 I whnt a relief 
it was to find one’s tobacco was dry, anil that 
one could light a pipe ; that you could laugh 
at vour miserable friend, who stood shivering 
and shaking as if he had the palsy ; and then 
next morning, oh .' wbut fun it was to see him 
mending his clothes, while I had not n tear to 
complain of ! VentHntion, (lint great bughcar 
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 last anulmost 
indefinite time.'' 
Our Flexible Tail-Colored Water- Proof 
Leather Coats, Breeches, Vest, Leg- 
gings and Caps are considered tho finest 
things ever made.
