MAGNIFICENT STORE AND IMMENSE STOCK
OF GoODs.-Among the many evidences of
the enterprise Of our merchants In remodel
ing and rciltting up their places Of business,
there is none more worthy of notice than the
improvement just completed In the estab-
lishment of A. Saks & Co., the wel-known
popular clothlers, at SIT Seventh street, be-
tween Pennsylvania avenue and d streets.
The store has been thrown into one large
room, So feet deep by 80 feet In width, with
q ceiling IA feet high, and now presents one
Of the most handsome sales-rooms TO be
found In the District OF Columbia, affording
excellent ventilation aud unsurpassed light.
The window frames are Of highly orna-
mental character, aud are IA feet high and
feet wide, supplied with fine French plate
glass. The counters run on either side, about
two thirds Of the entire length Of the store,
and have polished black walnut tops, with
sides grained In light imitation Of oak, and
the coplous shelving Is In excellent keeping
with the same, and furnished with innu-
merable drawers for the deposit Of fine ar
tcles Of goods.
In the rear Is the cashiers office, inclosed
In a railing and fancy black walnut PANEL
ing, which is furnished with desks Of the
same material, and the floor laid with
costly and beautiful pattern Of Brussels car
pcting. There are three large chandeliers,
six lights each, with globes, and colossal
| globe ct the entrance to the tailoring estab-
lishment, on the second floor over the store.
| Three splendid mirrors, In black walnut and
| gilt frames, decorate the walls, and two
heavy silver-plated showcases, displaying
ties, scarfs and other small articles Of gen.
tlemen's dress goods ornament the counters.
The display Of goods Is immense, and the
firm have just opened their fall patterns,
embracing every texture and style, their
liveried fabrics being unusually large, COM
prisng dress and swallow tailed coats Of al
| qualities and shades of color. II would be
| impossible to enumerate every article which
Messrs. Saks & Co. expose for sale, but the
boys department, at the lower end Of the
store, Is supplied with everything conceiv-
able for the wear of youth, such as velveteen
suits Of all sizes, Garibaldi and Bismarck
ssits Of every color and quality.
The firm have but one price for their goods,
and that the lowest, In consequence Of being
practical men and giving their undivided at
tcntlon late and early TO their business. They
have large manufacturing establishment
In Baltimore, employing hundreds Of hands,
and an order for a suit Of clothes can be
filled by Saks & Co. In two days from its re-
ception. They also give employ to many
persons in this city In making up goods, and
their workmanship Is guaranteed In every
particular. Talilors and others can also at
any time OBTAIN from Saks q 20. goods In
the piece or by the yard, large supplies oil
samples being constantly on hand.
We noticed In one Of the show windows
an attractive figure, representing "Sam,'
elegantly attired In suit Of cream-coloret
livery, with brass buttons, which is the lates
style Of that description Of dress, while a
convenient distances, near the entrance I,
the store, arc other sign figures, tastefully at
tired, and which afford to the purchaser Of
neat and durable suit of clothes an unmis
taxable Idea Of how the same would lool
when worn by living person.
. The firm OF Saks & Co., consists of A. SAX
and B. Katzensteln, young men Of great per
. severance and ripe experience In the clothin,
and merchant tailoring business, and a vlsi
! to their establishment must convince any on
/ that we but family describe their store, tn
i immensely Of their stock, and their capabilit
to please their patrons. The assistants ar

more competent and willing to "suit" you
Z and Ferd. Frank, F. Hibner, and VIM. Elem
I ming, who take every pains to render tn
+, greatest satisfaction to all who call at tn
store, whether to make purchases or exam
Inc the stock In trade.
