Jacket Department,

We are always glad to tell you about this big section on the first floor. To-day it's at its fullest and best. Almost every one of tifty-and-more styles are exclusive ly ours. We do not care for "common" things and you will not find them here. An emphasis is on the Militaro Jackets. with the high standing collars and but tons close to the neck-all new fancies and beauties, too. You'll not find them anywhere else.
 Just because we carry "Good Jackets" do not think that they are necessarily ex- pensive. We have Cloth Jackets up to $35, but we also sell the best $5, $7.5O and $10 jacket that you can find.
