The Best in Use. 
ONLY ONE QUALITY MADE, AND THAT 13 
THE VERY BEST. 
Flexible Waterproof, Tan-Color Duck. 
Each article— coat, trousers, vest and hat 
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. 
Tho 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 kuown ns “ dead grass Bhndo." 
The seams and 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 sayB 
of it, writing from camp : “Although I had 
been nearly eight hours under incessant rain, 
laboring and striviug along under advene 
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, 
Moss.) Waterproof Suits. Oh I what ft 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 us if he had the palsy ; and then, 
next morning, oh! what fun it was to see him 
mending liis clothes, while I had not u 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 last on ulmost 
indefinite time." 
Onr Flcxlblo Tan-Colored Wider-Proof 
Leather Coats, Breeches, Vest, Leg- 
gings nnd Caps are considered the finest 
things ever made.
