Saks' Opening.

Saks and Company's method of doing
things is so well known that popular inter-
est in the opening of the Greater Saks
Stores tomorrow is anticipating great
things, and in which it will not be dis
appointed. As was printed In The Star a
month ago, Saks and Company secured, on
long lease, Emmons s. Smiths handsome
new store. Immediately upon being given
possession large force of mechanics and
decorators were put to work to join the
two buildings and make such other changes
as were necessary to meet the approval Of
Saks and ComPany's ideas of what model
modern store should be. With the opening
tomorrow, an invitation to which is given
to everybody through the firms announce
ment in The Star tonight, Washington will
have one Of the largest general stores in
the country. In extending their own busi-
ness opportunities Saks and Company have
increased the city's shopping facilities to
degree never existing here before
The public will undoubtedly take adyan-
tage of the opening to signify, by it's pres
enee, the interest and appreciation II en-
tertains for all this popular firms efforts
