since.
j. C. Jordan, manager, says that he mas
rented a rig to this same man on several
occasions and when he did not return nc
simply thought that he had decided to
remain somewhere over night, but as he
did not return Monday or yesterday he
has become uneasy and is making every
effort to locate man and rig.
The animal taken was bay mare and
one of the best in the stable, and the
buggy was a new rubber-tired vehicle.
The man wore light hat and black
overcoat, and Mr.. Jordan Judges from MS

These SAKS' OVERCOATS are
as far ahead of the ready-to-wear
you find at other stores at our regu-.
lar prices as the finest organizations
of good tailors and conscientious en-
beavers can make them. Their cut
is famous, and the good style that
results in what is called "ginger'
in clothes will easily be distin-
guished in every garment.
Our Mr.. Louis Saks is in New

of overcoats is the opening gun of
