horse they had in stable or out was

HOLIDAY FEATURES
AT The SARS STORE

The season Of gift-buying as general
replenishing Of the wardrobe brings into
prominent notice the stocks and service
of Saks & Co. The management states
that the facilities OF this old established
house for catering to the apparel needs
Of men have been still further brOadened
to meet the growth OF the business. and
that the 1872 Christmas shopping season
is proving the most successful In the his
tory OF the store.
A visit to the Saks store reveals the lat
est thought in modes for men. The show
ing OF full dress and tuxedo garments is es-
pecIally worthy OF mention at this time
of social activities, when the use Of such
attire Is greatest.
Like all the Saks CLONES, these evening
garments are tailored by the firms own
corps OF experts, which gives them pres
tige ranking with that possessed by the
products OF the better class Of merchant
taiIors
The smart haberdashery-shirts. neck
wear. gloves, hats. and walking sticks
offers harvest for gift chOosers. Many
Of these articles are put up in attractive
Christmas boxes.
Such things as bath robes and smoking
jackets. too. seem TO be in high favor
among holiday purchasers. These are to
be had in such variety and at such lib
eraI range OF prices that every preference
Is anticipated.
The floor devoted to sporting goods is
one OF the busiest sections OF the store.
Few people but have some male friend or
relative. either a grown-up or a young
ster. who is interested in athletics. and
welcomes just such things as this depart
ment presents.
Quite up to the standard set in their
lines OF mems wear is the exhibit Of boys
apparel at the Saks store. Parents who
believe in practical gifts constitute
large percentage Of the daily Christmas
throngs in these departments.
The store is aglow with the true spirit
of Christmas. The decorations are ap-
and artistic, both in the windows
and interior.
