Suits for Youths & Boys
Ages ID to 20. Sizes 30 to SO

q In making clothes for youths and boys.
most makers are conspicuously at fault
in these two respects:
CFirst, they regard the young man solely
as IN experimental proposition. and a
vehicle for ultra and freakish effects.
Second, they make the absurd mistake
Of assuming that the young man between
IA and 20 can be fitted in mems clothes
merely reduced IN size.
" Nov, a young man is neither an ex-
perimental proposition ror can he be fitted
in reduced sizes. And it is the absence
of the defects referred to that has made
Saks clothes for youths and boys SO de-
servedly popular.
GIVE believe that youthful clothes should
be youthful in appearance, but we have
never fallen into the practice Of making
them ridiculous with freak features.
lFinally, boys cannot properly be fitted
in reduced sizes. We ourselves have
studied this question too long and too
seriously to make any such mistake as
that. We have standardized special
sizes for youthful figures, and any young
man can come to us and be assured Of a
perfect fit. In other words, we regard
a young man as a unit, and rot as q lrac-
tional part of his father.

splendid line Of models. in the new browns
and grays so popular this season, both in
