RAIN! RAIN! RAIN! 
If there’s one set of men who appreciate a good 
waterproof coat it is the farmer. He knows that a 
“ Fish Brand Slicker” costs him less per year than 
any garment made. Did you know it rains or 
snows one day in three the whole year through? A 
“ Fish Biand Slicker” makes every day a pleasant 
day to its lucky owner. Co anywhere with it in 
rain, hail, sleet, snow, or blew, it is wind and 
water proof. Costs less than rubber, and lasts ten 
times as long. Rubber is good for show days, but 
will rip in a week. If you want a coat for hard 
wear and bard weather, get the “ Fish Brand 
Slicker.” Every good thing has its imitation, so 
has the “Fish Brand Slicker.” Look out. Be¬ 
ware of worthless imitations, every garment stamped 
with “ Fish Brand” Trade Mark. Don’t accept 
any inferior coat wh-n you can have the 11 Fish 
Brand Slicker” delivered without extra cost. Par¬ 
ticulars and illustrated catalogue free.
