'T^HE con*orvation of the lives of our gallant ofllccrs in the fighting 
* line is a matter to whioli too much attention cannot be given, since 
he is the pivot upon which turns the destinies of Ms company or regiment. 
There is, liowever, one precautionary measure at least, which officers 
individually are at liberty to take— indeed, it aniountsi almost to a duty 
for them to do so, and tliat is to equip themselves with the WILKIN'SONf 
PATENT BULLHT-PROOF JACKET. 
Lined with iiiglily-tcmpered steel, whicli cannot splinter, the Jacket will 
resist a .45.') Kevolver Bullet at twenty yard.s— proof of its great utility in 
tre-nch warfare. Fitted by an expert, the slight additional weight is so 
distributed as notto he apparent to the wearer, while in apiiearanee it 
resembles a clo.si.'-fitting well made jacket.

The " EQUITOR " Coat 
Excellent provision for mounted 
wear lies in the attached apron 
buttoning on one side. This abso- 
lutely shuts out any rain, and 
when not in use fastens conveni- 
ently {out of sight) on the inside 
of coat, which then serves just as 
well for ordinary wear afoot. 
One of the recommended materials. 
No. 31, in colour an approve<l 
military fawn, is a tough though 
finely-woven fabric, light in 
weight, yet positively reliable foi 
hard wear and tear, and positive!;/ 
witttr-proof. 
When ordering an "Equitor" or "Ser- 
vice" Coat (the "Service'' Coat is made 
without the attached apron) or direct- 
ing that one be sent on approval, height 
and chest measure, and reference, 
should be given.
